Yeah, 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)

Eh, changes a lot I guess. Today it's Shoshana, but I like Julia a lot too.

Shoshana Bean!!!!!

re: Your favorite Elphaba....

for 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.

re: Your favorite Elphaba....

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.

re: Your favorite Elphaba....

Coming back to rank the Elphabas I've seen live.

1. Idina Menzel
2. Lisa Brescia
3. Eden Espinosa
4. Carmen Cusack
5. Ana Gasteyer
6. Dee Roscioli
7. Maria Eberline

I didn't dislike any of them. They all had their strengths.

re: Your favorite Elphaba....

Stephanie J. Block is my favorite followed closely by Dee Roscioli,Lisa Brescia,Kerry Ellis,Julie Reiber. No one after SJB is in order though.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Idina, Shoshana, Eden, Stephanie, Julia, Kerry, Saycon, Victoria, Caissie, Hamada, and Willemijn, and I think I'm going to like Amanda.
