Well PJ. You can't blame that on JLT. It's not her fault Stephen didn't write the score with those coloratura notes Kristin sang.

Anyway JLT is more of a mezzo - but she did a beautiful job in Wicked.

I never saw Kristin as Glinda, just clips, and I'm seeing Megan soon, but I absolutely loved Jennifer. So maybe she can't hit all the amazing high notes Kristin did, I still think she did the role incredibly. She makes the whole audience laugh, from what I saw with almost everything she did. She's an amazing person, besides in the role. One of the sweetest people I've ever met.

Why does everyone love Kristen so much? Her singing is amazing but her acting is just flat and low-key boring. And Kendra is ok and has improved a lot since the beginning but she is far to sexual in popular (playing with her boobs and feeling her butt). JLT IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

My opinion
JLT...YUCK!
Kristin Chenoweth...WONDERFUL (AS ALL OF YOU KNOW!)
MEGAN HILTY...FANTASTIC!

I'm gonna have to go with Billie Burk as well... :) Glad other people thought of that too...

Also, Kristen improvised several of the lines that are now in the frozen script. Honestly, she really IS the role... and to whoever said her acting was flat, I don't know what horrible performance you caught, but she's definately 3 dimensional.

I think i don't like JLT cause she doesn't sing coloratura. I think that that kinda defines glinda.

I also think that kristin just LOOKS the part more than any of them

Glinda dosen't require a coloratura voice. If I'm not mistaken - Kendra isn't a coloratura - and I don't think Kate Reinders is, and they both do great in the role.

GGirl, this is all payback from what you did to phantom-sumthin. Seriously though, I really don't wanna insult you, I was only kidding, you seem very mature for your age which is admirable.

i definetly liked Kristin better, Kendra is not quite as peppy as i think that Glinda should be in the beginning. that's all
Kristin Chenoweth could barely control a Great Dane she trotted onto the stage. "Great, they gave me a dog that weighs five times what I do", she quipped. For the record, she weighs 93 pounds, and has a Maltese.

Well I am a huge Kris fan. She is hands down my fave and c'mon she can sing ANYTHING!!!! But I just saw Megan Hilty in NY and I didn't think she was too bad. Her range is out of sigh but I think she changed her style way too frequently in Popular. Meg...eh. Kris deffinitly #1!

I've seen Kristin and Kendra. To me Kristin was the far more effective. Kendra, while very funny, was so over the top, and aware of the audience, that it tainted any seriousness of the part, and yes, there definitely is some. All of her little flourishes and kicks are initially entertaining, but after a while, you realise that she has merely created an elaborate cariacature. Her Glinda was not "real" to me. Kristin, managed to bring the right amount of reality and comedy to the part. Along with having the most heavenly voice on Broadway. I have not seen the others, but from what I have seen, she is the best!

Kate Reinders was HYSTERICAL on her last night....SO funny.....I've seen the show several times but I've never laughed that hard at some of the silly Glinda things she did

The only Glinda I've ever seen was Kendra. So I have to honestly say that she's my favorite because I can't compare her performance to anyone else.

Kendra Kassenbaum was the most comedic
Kristen was the most original
JLT I thought was most talented

--all such great qualities in a Glinda--

Hmmm...

Well, I would have to go with JLT. She and Idina were amazing together, and they were my first experience with Wicked. On the OBCR, I do like Idina and Kristin's blend, but from the clips I've seen of Kristin, she was funny, but not as funny as JLT, and her voice can get annoying. Megan Hilty was funny, but I thought Kendra Kassenbaum was hilarious. Megan has a better voice for Galinda than Kendra, but I liked how Kendra didn't really try to copy Cheno. SO overall, my fave has definately been JLT. As you can see by my avatar.
And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.

Oh, and I thought that JLT looked prettiest in the costumes, makeup, and wig. She's beautiful.

I've only seen Megan and Kendra so I can't really say who was the best Galinda. But I thought Megan was hysterical and I love the development from conceited to good.

I absolutely ADORE Megan Hilty as Glinda. I think she is an amazing performer and has really grown into the part well. I am seeing her for the third time in February and am thrilled about it. She does a gazillion little things that really make the part shine, and to top it off Megan has an amazing voice.

I have to say I saw Megan and loved her too... she was adorable! After the show she came out to sign autographs and a younger girl next to me had glitter on her face and she said "Oh glitter! I am all about the glitter!" It was like she was Glinda lol
