Is there any other show that recycles cast members so often?
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Which, IMHO is a *good* thing. She was...beyond awful. And I saw her live.

I'm not a fan of her interpretation; however, she's got some wonderful vocals. Not sure it's right for musical theatre, but, she's not bad to listen to.

Worst Elphaba ever. I could give a damn about her training, voice, where she went to school or legit voice and whatnot, her performance was terrible.

She's not an Elphaba. Keep her away.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

I had forgotten just how bad I thought Shoshana was in the role until I attended the 5 Year Anniversary Benefit "The Yellow Brick Road Not Taken." I was quickly reminded...

She wasn't the WORST, but she was pretty bad. Although, you gotta give the girl some credit for her "Gravity" riffs. (Come to think of it, she riffs WAY too much)

re: Shoshana returning to Wicked?...

Shoshana is the only Elphaba I've seen live and I loved her. She's incredible. I have seen a bootleg of Idina in the role and while I love her I didn't like her as Elphaba. I have a bootleg of Shoshana's last and it makes me cry everytime because she's so amazing. Everyone has their own favourites.

re: Shoshana returning to Wicked?...

LOL. I do not know what is funny. That you're gloating about your bootlegs. Or that you cry to a Shoshana bootleg.
