Hey just reading the tony winners post and realised alot of people saw Idina in Wicked, what did you think of her, I saw her 3 times in her short run in London and know over here I never heard one song where she didnt go flat, out of tune, or her voice cracks, so what was she like on Broadway, and who is your favourite Elphaba, I cant really say because Ive only seen 3 and two of them are British and most of you wont have heard them, but to those who have, Kerry Ellis is my favourite, then Shona White, then Idina, but what do you lot think?

I haven't seen Idina, but my favorite Elphaba was by far Julia Murney. She was perfect in the role in my opinion. She had the desperation and not-too-sweet aspect that I think Elphaba would have.

@ Charlie No-One:

Julia Murney - I'll second that!
She's fantastic as Elphaba - just love her.
I was also blown away by Kerry Ellis in the London production of WICKED.
And of course there's Stephanie J Block who's always devine.
