Her performances just make you want to stand up on stage and be able to do the same thing. That's what's so fantastic about her. She inspires others to do what she does. She's fantastic advertisement for the theater industry. Anyone with that rare trait is.
I love her, she's awesome, and her voice is amazing!. I could not hold these notes as long as she did. She can belt the place down, with asthma and all. And i probably would have broke out into an attack or even fainted. That's why she's my favorite Elphie. She has the whole package and a little extra, she rocks!
@nelolaura-I don't think comparing Idina and Wilhelmijn is fair or accurate. One is doing it in Englisn and the other in German. They are both incredible singers. No one who performs this role is not without vocal talent. What I will say is this: Idina did it first, she set the standard for how the character is portrayed. Tell me how that makes Wihelmijn 'better' than Idina?
@lyssalunatic I didn't. These are official Proshots of the Original Broadway Cast :)I don't know when they were recorded, but they were done by the theatre.
@WickedProshots they were filmed by the Lincoln Center Archives. every show on broadway is filmed by the LCA and used for press clips and such. they keep the full shows at Lincoln Center :)
Thank you so much for posting all of these!!! They, and you, are AMAZING!!! Do you have Defying Gravity or No Good Deed from this performance?? If you do, and post it, it would be great and i would be thankful. If not, i understand, but i thought i'd ask. thanks, again!!!
@IHopeYouAreHappy11 Sorry, this is all I have I'm afraid :( If I ever get my hands on them I'll be sure to post them though. If only somebody had leaked the entire show!! Seriously, there isn't enough accidental leakage going on on Broadway these days.... :(
@WickedProshots it's all right. i wish i could see them, though!! haha i don't think i've ever seen a no good deed proshot...hmm...oh well. thanks anyway. and i know what you mean about the leakage..i guess they're cracking the whip lol. Thanks for these, though! keep them coming, seriously!!!! =D
She is beyond flawless!

They need to release this full show. I would much rather see this than a movie. And if they don't release it, somebody needs to find it and leak it.
Maybe they will when the show closes or is losing it's popularity...
