EDEN DID NOT LEAVE LA, I SAW HER ON SATURDAY THE 25TH AND I SAW JULIE ON THE 1ST OF SEPTEMBER - my mom liked it so much, she was all like lets go see it again, lol. Julie was great, but eden espinosa does not leave until the end of september.
i was disappointed bout not seeing eden too, but julie was fantastic. i give standbys a TON of credit. it must be SO frustrating to not even get to be in the ensemble, but to sit backstage til u can go on! great job julie!
i saw her 2 days ago. and i must say i was dissappointed i wasnt going to see eden. but she ended up amazing. and she is so brave to change the song her own way just being an understudy. i think thats true courage right there. i LOVE HER!!!
i just saw julie on wednesday. i really liked her! and i have seen eden preform. there was just something i really liked about julie, i feel it came a tad bit more alive. it was amazing!
I saw her last night, hoping to see Eden. I was upset when I saw the insert in the program, but I was pleasantly surprised & thought she did a terrific job! She was way better than this video portrays. She puts some great styling of her own into the songs, and she just blew us away on "No Good Deed". I don't think you can really compare her with Eden because her voice and style are very different. I love both of them for different reasons :) Rock on Julie and good luck next Saturday! :)
I just went to Wicked in LA expecting and looking forward to seeing Eden, but walked in too see "At this performance the part of Elphaba will be played by Julie Reiber" and I almost cried. But as soon as she sang her first few notes of this song I fell on with her. This video is an understatement of how great she was. Phenomenal for an stand-in! And a really sweet person. She blew DG out of the water too =)
her voice is pretty good... I wouldn't mind seeing her sometimes in Wicked LA... I've seen Eden 5 times so far (and I LOVE her) but I wouldn't mind seeing Julie
Oh it's alright that she messed up the lyrics, you try getting up in front of an audience that really doesn't have to pay attention or be quiet and see how well you handle it. I personally loved her, I thought she was clear, crisp, and def. worthy of being Eden's standby!
I didn't say there was anything wrong with her! Actually I said she was really good? I know I couldn't do it? but she is a standby for a huge show like wicked so I wouldn't think the audience would be much of a bother to her! Anyway I thought she did really well!
i saw her in all shook up on broadway and i thought she was ok but her oice sounds so much better as an elphie and she has alot of power so i cant wait to hear a DG
maybe they changed the lyrics on purpose...it sounded natural, if it was a mistake it wouldve been uttered or she wouldve slowed down or gave off some sort of hint of it..
not all the time lol, I saw Brandi and she messed up "defying gravity" where she is flying and when she goes "I'm flying high" she went "Kiss me goodbye" and she didnt give off a hint of messing up lol
her voice is just plain awesome!

NOT best Elphaba I've seen, but best standby I've ever seen/heard. Very good with the emotions! ^_^ I wonder if she'll get to ever be th main Elphaba?
...course new Elphaba would mean new Glidna... and honestly... I get worried more about a new "glinda" since not all of them are super funny...

There was audio of DG but it wasn't that good and made her voice sound weak (which it isn't)It was taken down though due to a copywright claim.

she said "maybe at last i'll know why, oh what a pair we'll be" it's supposed to be "maybe at last i'll know why, when we are hand in hand"
and "fixated by your verdigris" it's supposed to be "fixated on" but she still has a beautiful voice
