Kristy Cates - "Defying Gravity" - 28th July 2006 - Chicago

[prettyboijay1019]

Love the "in renown".

[BlazedHearts]

How people disliked this, I'll never understand.

[wickedjpan]

@BlazedHearts me niter who

[inlovewithKStewart22]

She is second best Elphaba. After Idina Menzel. She is simply amazing.

[MrDefyinggravity1]

can i trade please :)

[tillyboos]

@MattManOhYeah, yes, both Marcie and Kristy are from Northern California. Kristy is from the Sacramento area I think, and Marcie is from Yuba City, both are close to San Francisco. They are both amazing, BUT, I'm a HUGE Kristy fan, Marcie doesn't really do much for me. @amazinglywicked, really? Teal is replacing Mandy? Wow! Well, maybe she can make up for her final SF show on Broadway! LOL....I LOVE Teal! She's amazing....last SF performance notwithstanding. :)

[BlazedHearts]

Dee studied under her, right? Because Dee sounds almost exactly like Kristy.

Though I do find Dee superior, but Kristy is amazing nontheless.

Also, listen to the "take a message". Mirrors Dee perfectly.

[amazinglywicked]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wicked people get her to replace Mandy in Jan NOW!

[asswhole239]

@amazinglywicked Teal Wicks is replacing Mandy Gonzalez on Broadway.

[tillyboos]

And yes, fellow Wicked heads, I know Marcie is also from Northern California as well, but, well, she aint Kristy!

[tillyboos]

I'm sorry, but Kristy should've closed the San Francisco sit-down, not Marcie Dodd. People can hate me, but Kristy is from Nor-Cal, and we LOVE HER! Teal, and Eden were great though (they are Cali girls too!) Kristy ending it would've been Ozzifyingly brill!

[MattManOhYeah]

@tillyboos Isn't Marcie from north California?

[mattcookie]

i really like her "and soon i'll match them in renoun"

[Fabi4you]

i LOVE her "look to the western sky" :DDD

[WormsG123]

[wickedjpan]

[wickedjpan]

[Wicked1253]

I really miss her! (i want her to come back to Wicked!)- she has a very powerful voice!

[dazisbi]

lmaooo this is so different its like officially my favourite xD

[kayandmiguel21]

Second best Elphaba after Idina Menzel.

[mibm07]

No I absolutely do not like her voice at all! She sounds mousey! Elphaba is supposed to be a much stronger voice than that! Although she is an amazing actress!

[faggyboy2]

@mibm07 you should have seen her live then. this recording does not do her jusitice. i nearly pissed my pants at Stacie Morgain Lewis's last show. she is a FANTASTIC elphaba. they wouldn't have hired her if she was "mousey"

[Elphaboy]

she is amazing! i love her she is very unique in her sound and delivery of the song it's GREAT!

[WickedFreak10111]

She has my favorite so if you care to find me look to the western sky!!!!!!!! :]

[Selftime2007]

If she was giving to much the director would have asked her to pull back after the show.

[dickbagbrandon]

OMFG KRISTY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[wickedjpan]

woooo shes awsome

[Imflyinghighdefying]

She's pretty and has a great voice.

[TheGreenBean14]

why?

[wickedjpan]

acualy she said laak to the weston skie

[jasonmyers9087]

Yes! Kristy was an AMAZING Elphaba!!! Miss her... love her "Loooook to the Western Sky"

[phantom38]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! That first "Me" OMG!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!

[faggyboy2]

I love kristy <3

[Elphabantom]

She is so overlooked and I really feel she is one of the best Elphabas out there. :D

[MATTandMUSIC]

This was my 14th birthday.

Thanks for an awesome performance, Kristy!

:)

[Elphieunderstudies]

ah, i miss kristy.

[UveBeenLuPwned123094]

not only is this woman gorgeous, she knows how to belt her ass off. is there any more you could ask for?

[BriansDeaf]

oh wow. that picture is so diff then the way she looks green :O shes so pretty!

[TreyKenyon]

Talk about a powerhouse....i love how she changes up her phrasing so much....her "match them in reknown" is soo unqiue and awesome and of course you gotta love her "meeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeeee down!!"

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

I was about to post a comment say that I've never heard reknown pronouced that way.... and that me is great!!!

[JMeehan719]

Holy shit. This is by far the best I've heard from her. Anyone else think she needs to come back?

[Elphabantom]

NO KIDDING. I saw her in Chicago three times, I would KILL to see her again.

[Elphieunderstudies]

um yeah! she HAS too! on broadway this time.

[12bmills]

She is the one to her for her first "Bring me down!" The way she does "down" is a mystery!

[sorafdfs]

i know what u mean, she kind of makes them fade but sound like they're echoing

[Elphabantom]

wait I'm not sure what you mean...can you explain?

[discman91]

she blends them perfectly with the orchestra

[Elphabantom]

Oh okay. Yes she does! Kristy really was an inspiration as Elphaba. And did the best riff on that line!

[s0undstrulycrazy]

lovee kristy cates

[bwayindaburbs23]

i thought i had every kristy audio ever recorded but i have never heard this...wow....she was definitely Chicago's elphaba...dee is amazing but i will always remember the days when kristy was rocking the Oriental...i saw her the most out of all the Chicago elphabas, and everytime i stage door'd she would remember me and she was so sweet..miss her , and wicked here
