Posted: 6/1/08 at 10:28pmYeah, HoshiForever! Her Defying Gravity (especially her "look to the western sky") sent chills down my spine.

Eden Espinosa stole my heart the first time I saw her.
I also adore Kristy Cates and Julie Reiber.
All 3 are the fiercest women to play Elphaba. (IMO)

Posted: 6/1/08 at 11:41pmfor me, Julia Murney is the only one who somehow channeled Margaret Hamilton, which really game me the sense that Elphaba really could turn into a wicked witch. For that reason (and becuase I think her voice is a revelation compared to all other Elphie's) she is my favorite.

I'm not that much of a Wicked fanatic and I haven't even heard half of these people you've mentioned...
But I heard Kerry Ellis recently on youtube, and I think her vocals are really effortless and beautiful.
