Posted: 5/17/05 at 5:56pmI couldn't find anybody's reviews of her as Elpahba. Could someone help??? I think she is absolutely phenomenal. I'd love to see her in the role.
And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between ,and you're back again only different than before...

Posted: 5/17/05 at 6:53pmI have a bootleg DVD of Kristy as Elphaba. She has a very operatic voice. Different interpretation. She was quite good. In costume, she looked EXACTLY like Idina. Her defying gravity was weak. But her Wizard And I and No Good Deed gave Idina a run for her money. No comparison to Shoshana though. She's great. So is Idina. But my favorite is Saycon -- WOW! INCREDIBLE!

Posted: 5/17/05 at 7:10pmYes she is incredible. I like more natural voices like instead of Idinas shouting instead of singing, Kristy has a more natural and beautiful voice. I dont like Saycon (squeaky)

I've heard Saycon and nothing special at all...just eh. As for Kristy, I wouldn't say she has an "operatic voice." She has a more classical style of Broadway singing kind of voice, but not opera. And, I don't know what you people hear when you say Idina "screams," but, to each their own.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 8:02pmKristy's voice is more classical musical theatre, which is why I like her way better.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 8:04pmKristy- a very talented, and promising performer...before filling in for SJB in toronto, she had only gone on a few times, and i'd say she's done a pretty phenomenal job!
awkward.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 8:09pmI heard her Wizard and I and Defing Gravity, and she definitely has a very different style, but I thought she was just okay. I should probably listen to her some more before I make a permanent judgement.

Come see Kristy Cate's farewell to NYC performance at The Duplex Cabaret Theatre - Monday, 6/6 at 7pm. It's her last nyc appearance before she goes to Chicago to stand by for Ana G.
She's doing a lot of ecclectic stuff - Michael John LaChiusa, Desiree, Vincent Youmans, Annie Lennox, Bobbi Gentry and even some Stephen Schwartz...

Posted: 5/17/05 at 8:44pmShe was better than I had expected. I thought her Elphaba was fine and likable; she has a sweet, pretty voice, which I prefer to Idina Menzel's vocals, which I find are shrill and grating.

Posted: 5/17/05 at 9:14pmShe was the first Elphaba I ever saw and I loved her. I also thought she brought a very humorous side to Elphaba. She really know how to get laughs. And her DG gave me chills.
