Shes bloody brilliant on Wicked, but on this i think she's just doing her own thing, which she has the right to do, but i think we're not used to it as much (obviously)
I think Idina is amazing. She gave the character life and she is the outline for all the other Elphies out there but Rachel is in my mind just as wonderful. I love them both.
Personally, my fav Elphie out of the three ive seen. Im sure all the other performers are better live than on video, so I wont judge them unless ive seen them :) But Rachel just blew me away.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Someone make her stop! She struggled on the first half and then just began belting way too soon, so by the time she got to the end, my ears were bleeding! Earn your right to belt!
I saw Wicked at the Apollo in London a week ago and was completely blown away by Rachel's voice. I agree, she is the best Elphaba as a complete package. I think she was born to play this roll. So much talent!
Well I saw her in Londodn and I liked her as Elphaba, she got the character really well and she has an awesome voice! But sadly I think she rushes through all the songs, not giving time to fully enjoy them! And I thought that was kinda sad so the best elphaba ever? No! That's Idina! =)
I totally love Idina - have loved her ever since I saw RENT the first time... But I saw Rachel as Elphaba on Wednesday, and totally and utterly fell for her charm and version of the Witch. Totally enthralling and loving. Love you Rachel!
i went to see her but she couldnt be in the performance on the night so i saw her understudy nikki davis jones and i have to say she should NOT be the understudy ... As amazing as Rachel is I have to say i think Nikki is better ... Her version of defying of gravity was the best version i have ever heard
@fe4therduster Nikki was, amazing. I saw her as understudy and I was completely blown away by her voice. I hope she stays and gets Elphaba when the cast changes over. fingers crossed.
I'm so happy that i got to see this cast (just a few days ago) and i have to say, although Idina and Kristin started the legacy and they have contributed so much to make the charecters what they are, the current London cast is superb! It exceeded all of my -very high- expectations!
So even thu i never got to see the OBC i'm happy that i got to see this cast, and if i lived in the area i would go see this show once a month :D
@manuspooface In this performance she's kinda' more free... however I like that she doesn't sing exactly as you can hear the OST from broadway... Is a different personality.
@MetalReveries I do have to agree with you there....and i am a BIG Idina fan....but Rachel just gets the character down so beautifully and that voice...brilliant.
Truly a treasure to watch and listen to. So happy she didn't win the Nancy programme. No way does Nancy show her off even half as much as Elphaba does!
@Sam4God my bad!! I read nikki's tweet as off to work for 2 shows as in she was on for 2 shows!! I thought why isnt she on when shes singing like that!! Brilliant version!!!
Such a stunning voice and that riff at the end is just incredible! I'm seeing her on Saturday and I'm so excited :D

I'll admit, from this performance, I was impressed, but thought Idina was better. I saw Wicked Saturday, and Rachel is the best Elphaba.

xjellymixx 1 year ago 2
@MetalReveries Disagree. She's good, but she's no Idina. And no Eden Espinosa on No Good Deed.
But she is very talented - I'll give her that.
Sadly, Eden sucks on every other song in Wicked (except No good deed), so I think of Rachel as the next best Elphaba ever.
