Elphaba's

The Green Girl.

The Wicked Witch of the West.

Elphaba.

Wicked, the Original Broadway musical is about a physically different, daring, misunderstood, powerful young woman who is dealing with growing up in a world of "beautiful people"

Yeah, I could have explained it better… but its her character I'm after right now.

Elphaba is the type a chick who is a great best friend, but if you piss her off, she might just kick your ass up and down the block.

IT DRIVES ME ABSOLOUTELY FREGGIN NUTS WHEN THEY CAST SHITTY ELPHABAS!

Okay…

A great example of the actress who plays her is a woman who has a sweet head voice, power house belting, and someone who doesn't over shadow anyone else unnecessarily

Someone who makes it their own, but not with ridiculous trills or vibrato also on someone who has control over their voice. While bringing their voice up making it sound younger is a fine idea, they should really coral that talent and dispense it throughout the show or at least until she "grows up".... Then bring it into the older sounding woman.

Someone who DOSE NOT OVER (or under) ACT!

She should also definitely be someone with the intensity and open vulnerability to delight and woo the audience.

She should not be shrill, over acting, screechy, showboating, underdeveloped (character wise), flat, under acting, nasal, and well defined both vocally and acting wise.

So… where some people would be considered amazing pick with amazing pipes, singing the songs they're great!
…Other then that when they're acting, it's more like they're only saying their lines. Either that or they sound drunk and overly expressive.

Others deliver their lines absolutely beautifully but when it comes to the lyrical climax of the entire Musical (emphasis on MUSICAL) they fall short in their deliverance. And it's really truly sad.

There have truly only been Two truly amazing women who have hit the role head on and taken no prisoners, gave it their all every performance eight shows a week. They have my respect and are in my Broadway Leading Ladies Hall of Fame for ever.

two words: Power House
