Hi, so you have your Elphabas That you know and Love and over here in England we have ours, so weve never really heard your verdict on ours. You always hear ours, oh Idina is fabulous, SJB is just AMAZING! So what do you think of ours, truthfully! Mainly Of course Kerry Ellis we all LOVE her and think she is the best Elphaba ever, but what do you guys, who have never seen her live, think of her?

If we've never seen her live, what are we supposed to think?

i saw some youtube vids of her, and she definately seems more than adequete...which means she is probably phenomanal live.

well, what i mean is go by vids on the internet, thats all we've ever seen of most of yours, like SJB and we can tell what they're like or if they're good or not, so that what I mean, would it be better if I said, "Based on videos on youtube etc. what do americans think about british Elphabas?"

It would be better if you wrote more coherently, for starters.

I smell the next antonijan, although nowhere near his caliber of fantastic.

IMO, Lizziecurry is the voice of BWW. She states what some of us think. She just has the gumption to write it!!

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 6/29/07 at 6:00pm

well I have the gumption to call her on being a prick, deal with it.

No one could ever aspire.

WALL!

"and ps. ur ugly."

Awesome.

Lizzie, I dare you to measure up to that caliber of wit.

YOU CAN'T, CAN YOU?!?

haha. THanks for the suppost "sorryGrateful"....and the allies begin...hehehe.

The difference between my comments and yours "lizzie", are that I'm not degrading another member of this message board (unless mel brooks is on here and then ill make an exception). You personally criticized another member of this community, and that is "not nice". So cut the crap.

Yeeaaah, that wasn't support my ridiculous friend. My allies are the ones who can string a proper sentence together with good punctuation, capitalization and a semblance of maturity. Calling someone ugly because s/he disagrees with you doesn't measure up.

But, you know, good luck finding other allies!

I saw Kerry as Fantine in Les Mis two times while I lived there...

she was fantastic in that..so I would imagine she is pretty fantastic as Elphaba.

Feel free not to speak for ALL of us in the UK, please. She is rather good in the role, but most certainly has enough flaws that mean I don't "LOVE her and think she is the best Elphaba ever".

It's times like this I wish there were BroadwayWorld cage matches. I'd definitely pay to see those.

[EponineThenardier]

Kerry is the best Elphaba I have seen. Gorgeous voice and pitch perfect acting. Loved her.

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 6/29/07 at 7:20pm

Cage matches??? Sign me up!

BrianIdol shut up, when you visit BWW forums there are a couple of things you need to know.

Rule #1: Don't mess with Lizzie
Rule #2: Playbills+Wall= Complete Humiliation

This is one lame Friday breakdown. Jeez.

[BrianIdol]

Posted: 6/29/07 at 7:47pm

that's one thing i'll have to agree with.

The last couple of times I checked Wicked in London they were posting understudies. Does Kerry have a problem?
