Jennifer Laura Thompson was an incredible, incredible Glinda. The only one I've seen since that comes close is Erin Mackey in Chicago.

I think she was the best so far.

She was the best Glinda, in my opinion. She was HILARIOUS.

I thought she was fabulous, but looked a little to old to be playing college Galinda.

I loved Cheno, but I loved JLT a lot more. She was by far my fave Glinda.

I feel that JLT had her moments in wicked. I feel like once Megan Hilty took over(I was so excited) people started to forget about JLT.

Of all the Glinda's I've seen come and go, Thompson (in my opinion) is by far the strongest (even over Chenoweth.)

While I felt Kristin Chenoweth was great (she IS Kristin Chenoweth after all,) I think alot of what she did was her traditional 'shtick, where as I felt like Thompson really took a concious effort to bring out something new in the role.

Jennifer was able to take the part and make it much more than a bubble gum stereotype of a crazy blonde. She gave the character heart, charm, humor, and depth, which is something the overwhelming majority of the actresses to play Glinda just aren't able to do. She may have had a bad tendency to go for the laughs a bit too much (a fault she herself admits to,) but I still found her performance wonderfully engaging and incredibly enjoyable.

When I saw Jennifer, I fell in love with her. Everything she did in Wicked was perfect! Her singing, her acting, her timing...everything. I hope one day she comes back.

I loved her and her Glinda. She had the best comedic timing of anyone I have seen in the role and she always looked comfortable in the role. I wish her the best.

Wow, she would have been awesome in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.

But yeah, she's my favorite Glinda. I always got chills from her "Thank Goodness".
