The Julie Reiber Appreciation Thread

Why not?

Everyone else seems to get one, and after the stunning performance she gave this evening, she deserves one. Plus, all the positive comments about her performance are currently being lumped into a thread about the whereabouts of Kerry Ellis. So....here we are...

Julie continues to amaze me in this role, and I hope to God she gets to succeed Kerry Ellis or something, because this girl is the best Elphaba they've had in a LONG time.

As usual, she knocked it out of the park again tonight. This was my third time seeing her, and her performance is always so fresh, and I'm always discovering these little nuances she has. Tonight it was her reactions to the Boq/Nessarose bit in the Wicked Witch of the East scene, when she is standing off to the side.

She had a different riff tonight on the end of Defying Gravity that was awesome. As usual, her No Good Deed was crazy good.

Funny mishap tonight...during One Short Day, one of the ribbons got stuck in the wheel of one of the moving platforms that slide on and off stage. The ensemble member who was using it got himself all tangled up, and then they couldn't yank it out, so he dropped it and carried on. Then you saw the ribbon get pulled taut as the (presumably) stage crew tried to yank it off from offstage. Finally, the Wiz-O Mania guy went over and untangled it.

She was phenomenal tonight. I think she is definitely my favorite Elphaba and coming from a HUGE Stephanie fan its not an easy thing for me to say.

If anyone deserves to be the next Broadway Elphaba, it's Julie Reiber.
She is amazingly talented.
Not to mention beautiful. She is truly one of the rare women who play Elphaba who look stunning both green and un-green.

adamgreer,
What was her reaction in the Nessa/Boq scene?
The 2 times I seen her she had a different reaction but there was also two different Nessa's also.

I am all for Julie becoming the full time Elphie when Kerry goes back home to London. I don't think the producers will slap her in the face twice. At least I hope they don't.

That's the impression I get from her too. She almost started crying when I saw her with Cristy. With Lori Ann it was bit different but she still had the same look on her face. Lori Ann's Nessa was a LiL meaner to her though. Pushing her away when she tried to comfort her in that part where Nessa walks over to the table so Julie was a LiL more angry with her.

She is incredibly difficult to work with.

I've worked with her before--and these testimonials were starting to make me nauseous.

---

She is great!

---

She just sent me the nicest message on face book. She's that nice!
