I went to college with Marcie and we sang together in our choir and a small singing group. I was wondering if anyone knows if any audio or video clips exist of her performing in the show? She was a legit soprano when we were in school...now she's singing Elphaba. I would love to hear her. Thanks in advance!

I am seeing the tour of Wicked this Sunday in Philadelphia. Is she the understudy/stand by or is she always Elphaba?

I'm a legit soprano but I have studied with several teachers to develop my upper notes and place them in such a way that it sounds like I'm belting and not singing lyrically. So it's possible that she has been taught to use her voice in both capacities.

I'm pretty sure she's just the standby...

She's the actual understudy. I saw her when she went on when the tour was in East Lansing. Colleen Sexton is the stand-by. I thought she did an excellent job! She definitely seemed younger in comparison to other Elphabas I have seen.

She's the new Broadway Elphaba.
