VOTING HAS CLOSED.
Although, after those extra votes, Idina Menzel and Julia Murney would be tied.
Must say, even though I'm sure Murney's brilliant, Menzel looks far better in the role.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Q:What advice do you have for aspiring Broadway stars who are terminally shy? I love your work, because you seem so bold. How do you do it?
A:"I think I take more chances on stage then I do in real life but you can't learn anything if you don't challenge yourself. And don't say "terminally". If you love to perform then you have no choice, just keep training and focus on the words or the music whenever you find yourself slipping back inside yourself. You're not doing anyone any favors if you withhold your talents from the world"- Idina Menzel

Posted: 4/6/07 at 4:36pmI've only seen Idina but I thought she was wonderful. How have so many people seen so many other Elphabas?
I'm such a bobo.

Kristy Cates. . I've never felt such empathy for Elphie before her performance.
I miss her in Chicago. . Dee blows IMO.

Ok, maybe I called time too soon, because with all these extra votes and the one on the West End Board, Idina Menzel would definitely have won. So, I suppose it's only fair to say;
THE WINNER IS JULIA MURNEY IDINA MENZEL!
