Kristin vs Jennifer

Ok, I know this has probably been brought up before, but for once instead of comparing two women who were playing opposite each other, let's compare two that played the same role. Now that Jennifer Laura Thompson has had a while to fit into the diamond encrusted shoes of Glinda, a question pops into my head... which did it best... Kristin Chenoweth or Jennifer Laura Thompson?

This has been brought up in every which way possible. Literally. Being you just joined, we'll cut you some slack, but please, no Wicked/Kristin/Eden/Idina threads. At least not on your first day.

Welcome to BWW, post with care.

LOL...OK Thanks for the Slack... Still though, my curiosity is peaked. I mean I know both women are brilliant... But personally, Kristin does it for me

TrulyWicked, you are pushing your luck by starting this thread, but who cares...

I have to say that I haven't seen Jennifer live yet, but every televised or recorded clip of her is lame. KRISTIN IS 1,000,000 TIMES BETTER!!!!! I can't believe Jennifer was even casted. She also had no chemistry with Idina, maybe she does with Shoshana. I don't know. What I do know is that nobody will ever play those parts as well as Kristin and Idina did.

Jarred, she has AMAZING chemistry with Dee. They're like, best friends practically. Onstage and off.

Shira, who can ever get tired of talking about Wicked? Personally I have to say Kristin Chenoweth for me. Anyone else out there who can't wait for Ben Vereen to come in?

ok, i saw JLT as glinda and when i m reading all these people say JLT i kinda m in shock, i perfer Kristin MUCH more then JLT, nothing is wrong with JLT, but I think kristin was so natural as glinda. sry to all the JLT fans!

I totally agree with thepopularone.... i thought JLT was just to hammy i guess....her performance was good....But Kristins was STELLAR

Overall JLT...if this were strictly on vocals then the Cheno no doubt...but Jennifer is wonder on stage...Kristin seems a bit stiff at times.

Thus confirming my hate for virtually everyone on this board.

Oh Auntie, there are a few exceptions. I love about 7 people on this board. The rest I loathe with vehement passion.



Lovin' the new icon.

Um, Kris. She's higher on my idol list, but I do think the Jen+Dee chemistry was a bit better.

um....i can't really say because i've never seen Kristin as Glinda, only Jennifer. i love Kristin's voice and i thought Jennifer's portrayal of Glinda was great. i'll remain neutral on this point, loves.
