@QM2nerd It's cause she is the original, she created the character <3

@QM2nerd Have you heard one of Kerry Ellis's performance? Idina and Kerry are my two favorites. I think Kerry behaves the most like the book: a little more aggressive than Idina, but both women are incredibly talented.

when i went to see wicked, elphiw was sitting on the floor during this performance:P
-
This song encapsulates the book and that, along with the intensity of the song itself, is why it is probably one of, if not my favorite, show tunes. Idina is just a cherry on the sundae.

absolutely brilliant,flawless and touching,as always!She's the original elphaba and maureen in rent,and no one will ever do better,especially in rent!

She was the first person I ever saw as Elphaba, and I was so blown away by her performance. Hearing her sing "Defying Gravity" for the first time basically made me a fan for life. I've continued to see the show with other people in it, and while I no longer consider her my favorite in the role, her portrayal will always hold a special place in my heart. I also love her as a songwriter and performer outside of Wicked, and have gone to see her in concert twice.

@QM2nerd i so agree! i've always said that Idina did the perfect interpretation of Elphaba as Maguire wrote it. Her successors did the interpretation of Elphaba as Idina did it.
-
my biggest regret in life: i never got to see idina menzel and kirstin chenoweth live in wicked
-
she was the first elphaba so everyone will love her but honestly jackie burns is my fav
-
She is Elphaba
Also she is the perfect Elphaba. I have listened to Eden, Steph, Shoshana, Teal, Rachel, Julia, all of them pale in comparison to Idina. She has the best voice for the Witch, and acts most like the book character unlike the rest
