How could I forget Anne Harada!! I love her. I think she might win. So funny with a kick ass voice. I want Stephanie to get nonimated- I love her voice.

Block wasn't just the standby for Elpheba- before Menzel was hired, the part was Block's. It's just that when they were going to move the show to Broadway, they decided they needed someone with Broadway experience and settled on Menzel instead.

Luckily, things didn't turn out too badly for Block. She got to make her Broadway debut anyway. :)

My picks for best featured actress are Isabel Keating and Stephanie J. Block!!
I'm still undecided about Best Actress.

Stephanie D'Abruzzo
Kristen Chenowith
Idina Menzel
Tonya Pinkins
Donna Murphy
I saw all of these women and loved all of them. It is the toughest race this year as they are all winners. I want Stephanie D'Abruzzo to win. I think Donna Murphy will win and she is another of my favorites.

Did anyone see Never Gonna Dance?? Karen Ziemba's talent was COMPLETELY wasted. With such a thorough category, she should not be nominated!

Why don't we wait until all the shows open for the season before we start wondering... right?

Donna Murphy will most likely win due to Menzel and Chenoweth cancelling eachother out. But I wouldn't write off Pinkins. I didn't love Caroline but Pinkins' role and portrayal are much more poignant than any of the other ladies'. Not that I think the *talented,spot on and lucid* nominating committee would care about such things as talent as opposed to who's more popular. (no pun intended).

Didn't Tonya Pinkins already win a Tony for something else?

[Elphie]

Posted: 4/9/04 at 2:03pm

I believe so.

Pinkins won the Featured Actress Tony for JELLY'S LAST JAM

So that makes Idina and Stephanie the only nominees without Tonys...hmmm...we'll have to see how that comes into play.

Idina should win for Best Actress. Isabel Keating should win for Best Supporting.

I love Stephanie Block but her role was written poorly.

nominations:
Idina Menzel
Kristin Chenoweth
Donna Murphy
Isabel Keating
Stephanie D'Abruzzo

I think Cheno's going to win. I really do adore Kristin, but I think it should go to Idina. I hope it does.

I agree with LeoMaxFrank. I loved Karen Ziemba, but because of the way Never Gonna Dance turned out, I think she's going to be overlooked.

Plum - Stephanie was the understudy for Idina while in San Francisco. She only went on once while Idina was absent from a performance.

I really think Idina deserves to win, she is incredible as Elphaba.

Chenofano-
We're both right. :) Read this; it's too long to quote.

I can't really say who's the "best"! I can just say from a personal point of view whom I think is fabulous and whom I like the most! That would be:

Sutton Foster & Idina Menzel

They're both GREAT performers, smart & tough, self-confident women and they have fascinating and amazing personalities (in my eyes)!!! =)

Nice greetings, ~*MusicalTwinSiStar1*~

Only actresses from a a musical that opened THIS season can be nominated.

I think it will be between:

Kristin Chenoweth- Wicked
Idina Menzel - Wicked
Donna Murphey - Wonderful Town

All three were fabulous.
