I was at this show and Stephanie was absolutely brilliant! Recordings just don't do her justice. Seeing her perform this live will blow your mind. She is the BEST ON BROADWAY PERIOD!!! Her voice is not of this earth and she has no equal. SJB RULES!!!
The way she uses her voice is so dramatic. You can truly hear the fight of good and evil within her through the use of her voice and the way she sings. That is brilliance!
She played this role so fearlessly and her Elphaba was unique. No one else sounds quite like her, which is sort of hard to do since most of the women sound similar. Stephanie is my absolute favorite Elphie :)

Her final date in London was June 7. She needed to fly to America and rehearse with the Broadway cast. Did you expect her to just fly out asap and jump into a new production with a different cast without having any time to even adjust to a new country? 10 days wasn't even a lot of time. And it was never announced that her first show would be June 9th. It was always June 17th.
Yeah but Stephanie's last was June 15th and Kerrys first was on the 17th. I guess it was to give Kerry a break between London and Broadway. Probably had some rehearsals before she went on to get some of the blocking down in the Broadway production. I don't know that's just a guess :P I could be wrong.
She scoops up on the "Ye" and has a rapid vibrato on the second part before her haunting third syllable (even though theres no picture i can still see her face on that note"
I'm from the same school as Stephanie, and its a popular story here that Stephen Schwartz wrote Wicked for Stephanie, but they need a bigger name like Idina to open the show. Stephanie is so amazing, and I'm proud to be from the same school as her. And she went on to originate the title role of The Pirate Queen! And now she's in 9 to 5 as well!!!!
Love the rehearsal pic with the broom above her head! Think you should have used a few more Steph/Kendra pics, and the one pic with her and Dillamond sitting on the benches was a tad overused. I don't know about anyone else but I've always found the Dillamond mask to be a little disturbing. Great job overall!
what the hell has Barack Obama ever done for you? John McCain spent years as a POW so that you have the freedom to type whatever the hell you want on here.
ummmm the only thing that you are correct on is the fact that he was a POW... it has absolutely nothing to do with our freedom at all, and to add to it he was a pow in a war that we should have had nothing to do with, so no his being a pow has absolutely no effect on posting what you want on youtube... just sayin...
yeah so would i but in looking at that picture again it almost looks like he just happened to be at the show that night and at intermission he went back stage it really doesn't say much about her political views... so iss all good wit me lol
When actors are in costume, it's usually a photo op. This was from a taping of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. John McCain and Gary Busey were guests, and Steph performed "One Short Day" with the rest of the WICKED cast.
Incidentally, there's a picture floating around of her with Hillary Clinton when Clinton visited the cast of THE PIRATE QUEEN. None of her with Obama (yet), so far as I know...maybe when 9 TO 5 (her new show) opens on Broadway?
great username ;)

Beautifully clear and powerful "supply".
She has a unique second Fiyero that I hear nobody else do. It's just perfect.

I Thought Kerry Ellis Would Be Playing On Broadway At This Date Because She Left London To Do Her Broadway Debut In 9th June Last Year!

They usually only stay a year. Stephanie did Wicked on Broadway for a few months between The Pirate Queen and 9 to 5 (her new show). :)

That photo was from The Tonight Show (Jay Leno). Gary Busey and John McCain were the guests, and Steph performed with the cast of Wicked.
There's a picture floating around of her with Hillary Clinton when Clinton visited The Pirate Queen, as well. :)
(So far as I know, none with Barack Obama--yet. Maybe he and his lovely wife will take in a performance of 9 to 5 in the spring. :D)
