I have noticed a recurring pattern of Idina and Eden having the same rolls in shows.......but that's not the point!! Edema version has a lot more personality, but for some reason I prefer Idinas o.O
@DassMorris yes,i believe Maureen's character is supposed to be more soprano and she's just a little bit lower than a soprano.so the music is lower as well.
@vengeanceofeden it's in the exact same key. Eden is most obviously a soprano. Sorry :P her voice actually sounds lower because she's taking less effort to sing in the upper part of an alto's range
I love the second she took before she sang "A Leap of Faith!". That shows (to me) that she was very serious about what she awas about to do. She wasn't only performing for her protest, she was performing for those hundreds of people watching and she was gonna make sure that they understood what she meant when she said A Leap of Faith and it was beautifully done. ^^
shaushausa I remember when I was on New Zealand and was invite by my a friend to join a theatre group. We produced TNER, a production of RENT changing all the genders. I was Mauro, and it was awesome to perferm this and Take Me Or Leave Me with my bass voice lol. It sucked, but it was sooooo cool \o/
hmm, I like the way Idina does it when she's rocking her head up and down. It makes her look crazier! It also shows that she is a really bad performer, which is how Maureen is supposed to be.
@TribeHazSpoken Wait! Sorry! I started writing the comment before she did it. I guess what I'm saying now is that Idina did that with her head through that whole rampage. Sorry about that.
am i the only person in the entire world who preferred eden to idina in this particular role?! i LOOOOVE idina, of course, she's incredible. but i thought eden was fantastic.
She makes a more non-sensical crazy Maureen than does Idina. Although Idina makes Maureen more free-spirited, but focused Maureen. I like Idina's body language better, but both do a really good job.
I think it'd be so much fun to perform this song! Yes, it's really random and people would definitely think I was nuts, and I'd probably end up getting committed, but I LOVE THIS SONG, LOL!! Eden must've had a blast and died laughing after every line. Kudos for being bold!
Mooooooooooooooooo! LOL. Isn't it weird how Maureens seem to become Elphabas and Mimis seem to become Monas? I think it is. :D But it's totally awesome!
OMG I LOVE EDEN IN THIS!!! Personally,I think that this could be better that Idina.....nah, but pretty daggon close!! I own this taping of the final performance, an d this part never fails to make me laugh!
she is FIRE!
