ElphabaScaresMe - the girl is my friend Kandice who is the current Miss NY. I have her on there cause we were talking about Miss America late last week and I found this ad she did for Danskin that I thought was too fabulous to not share! :)
My vote goes to Julia Murney or Heather Headley. They are both very emotional singers with awesome ranges...and i think the thing that many Elphabas have been missing is emotion in their singing. Not melodrama...but real emotion. of the five Elphabas I have seen, Ana probably came the closest, and Shoshana didn't have a clue!
what about mandy gonzalez? i'd love to see her in the role. either her or sherie rene scott. or someone completely new who has never played elphaba ever.
