Wait, an audio from this reading actually exists?! Do you have anything else from it you would be willing to put up?

This show should get more recognition!! The music is amazing, the emotion of the plot is brilliant, could not stop crying in the end.

She sounds too old for the part, but she sounds WONDERFUL. She's terrific.

Shoshana's Issue is that she is not only one of the most recongnizable Mezzo Soprano Riffers of Broadway but she is also one of the most recognizable voices for Wicked...

The problem with this song is that anyone who sings it is in a Catch-22. It's a devastating song, but it's also brutally hard to sing from a vocal standpoint. I've seen versions of the song where the performer errs on the side of raw emotion and forget about the vocals (or can't handle the vocals), and then there is this version, where she obviously has the vocal chops but is doing inappropriate riffs and rock n'roll styling for a song that is a "rock" song but shouldn't be sung with adornment.

wowwwwwwwwwww

For some reason or another, Shoshana has become the most reconizable voice for the Character of Elphaba. Do I think her version of Elphaba was different than the others .. Maybe... But she has definitely been given a.. Uh, that doesnt work. Shes too Elphaba..

I love Shoshana and all, and she sings this brilliantly, but I like Jenna better..

I disagree I didn't get any Elphaba. I think she is much more raw in this song. I actually don't hear much Shoshana in this song either. It is still awesome though!

out of context with her being Ivy... this is INSANE.

She's an alien.
