This is the first time I've seen one of Teal's videos, and I'm pleasantly surprised. :) Oh, and for all you wondering, Elphaba has four mikes on her (if I'm remembering this correctly). One on her forehead in case the one on her cheek decides to not work, and at least one in the hat. There might also be one in her wig.
I've read so many hate comments about Teal... She is AMAZING!!!!! Saw her in August on Broadway and she gave me chills every time she sang. Her and Idina are tied for my favorite Elphaba. She's such an amazing actress and singer and I'm glad I got to see her before she left.
Not sure why everyone keeps comparing every Elphaba to Idina ... She opened with the role in 2003, and she had a very different singing style than other actors who have played Elphaba, I respect every one of them equally, because I know how much they had to go through to get where they are. In fact, though many dislike her, Julia Murney is one of my very top Elphabas.
This just serves as a memory as to why this girl is my absolute favorite Elphaba. Her voice is flawless and she always brings so much emotion to the role (and others...I had the pleasure of seeing her in The Blue Flower as well, which she was also amazing in). I absolutely adore her.
Saw her on April 1st back in 2008. It was a field trip for my sixth grade drama class. I wasn't too fond of musicals. Watching her, I feel in love. With Wicked, Elphaba, and musicals. Teal Wicks will forever best the Elphaba I admire ♥
@pinksparkler13 no i think willemijn verkaik is on her level to. Listen to her once. <3 my best Elphaba's are Julia Murney, Idina Menzel and Willemijn Verkaik
I saw a show the other day (September 4) and the Elphaba made these huge sniffing sounds when she was crying. Her voice was also fairly deep. I thought it was Teal, but now I'm not so sure. Anyone know who?
it's not a happy smile. I'm not sure if you're gonna understand what i mean but it's more like a sad smile of cofusion. Like, when you're trying to hold in the emotion by putting a fake smile but you end up showing it in your eyes. Or, it's a smile when you think to remember something that you once had or were. People do it all the time in movies.
i saw her august 12 2011, and i literally can't stop thinking about it! her dramatic-ness seals the deal for me. it helped me connect to her better, than the other performances i've watched.
I remember when I saw wickede two years ago I had front row seats and I saw Stephenie J block. She was amazing too!! Sorry if i spelled her name wrong.
ok, don't get me wrong, i love teal wicks and think that she is an amazing singer and her voice sounds great singing the wicked songs, but i don't really think she's the elphaba type. she's too sweet looking and sounding. more like an ariel in the little mermaid. i seriously hopes she plays that.
no,fr me there is only one real Elphaba...Teal Wicks...she is so into her character!!! I sat front row and was in awe of Teal from start to finish!! LOVE Teal! LOVE LOVE LOVE ELPHABA!!!!
Just saw this the other day with Teal Wicks and Katie Rose Clarke -- I didn't think I would like it after seeing Idina/Kristin...OMG THEY WERE AMAZING!! I thought Katie almost surpassed Kristin's original performance!
@nicole786 i also saw those two and i think they work so well together. they might even be better than Kristin and Idina. I think seeing them live was even better than a recording. and I agree, Katie was right up there with Kristin
@TwilightSnape Exactly the same for me! Idina's still my favorite, but Teal's the only Elphaba ever who comes even close to her. She definitely my number 2!
