Posted: 2/16/06 at 5:07pmI'm not a huge fan of Wicked, but I saw it with Eden Espinosa. And she was great. Really wonderful. Her voice is powerful, but controlled. I thought she did a great job.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 6:56pmI like to hear her sing The Wizard and I
"Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog? Dodo." That's my favorite line in the whole show (Wicked). My next favorite line is "Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed."

I really loved her performance. Very powerful voice. She has wonderful facial expressions and manerisms.
I enjoyed watching her as Elphaba.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:07pmI wasn't too big of a fan of hers.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:14pmPeople are pleased with her Elphaba. She rocked the house when I saw her.

I'm glad people are pleased. I'm saying I wasn't.
I think she plays the role just fine. My one issue being I felt it was bland, and safe. I know others absolutely adore her, and to each their own. Just not my cup of tea.
#15re: Eden Espinosa and Wicked
Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:23pmI saw a video of her singing The Wizard and I in the Sephora in San Francisco. Some glass broke. You could hear the glass breaking. Not to say that she's awful. Just not my favorite. Out of the 3 Elphabas I've seen, she has been my least favorite.

Posted: 2/16/06 at 7:23pmI am pleased with Eden, just not pleased with another thread talking about the same subject. And yes i am not reading this thread anymore!

Posted: 2/17/06 at 8:06amI saw her about two weeks ago and she was spectacular. I thought she was even better than when I saw her in SF at the end of the tours run there. Her Defying Gravity gave me chills. Loved her.

Well, I am assuming that aprinceforwhatever saw her on Monday (a no show day) somewhere and she was green, Maybe she was going to film something or appear somewhere and perform?
Or maybe she stays in character even when she doesn't perform...
