I love Lea Michele, don't get me wrong.....but there's no beating Idina.

Now all I need is to hear her sing No Good Deed and my life will be complete.

@Gleek1able Thank you!! YES! That's what I mean! Finally someone understands!! :D:D

@Adlea13 Damn.. it was pretty bad.. strange I feel like now she could totally do better. Her range has grown with glee just because she has to do so many different songs.

[Gleek1able]

@itasjef I get what you're saying. No one can have the connection with the character like Idina does. Although they might be better singers or actors than her they won't do that part better.

It really annoys me when people say that a role belongs to a certain person. If you truly think that then you don't understand theatre at all.

I loved that Mimi chick I saw @ the Pantages theatre. She had power pipes. But, it looked SO effortless. I wad geeked & jealous @ the same time....

Lea Michele is the future Idina Menzel. I can totally see her in about 10 years on that stage beltingout the high notes of defying gravity, and illbeon the first row cheering her on!

>< the climax was bad. she just doesn't have the range to pull elphaba off

[stevmar96]

@acapellagirl24 AMEN!!!! XD

@FireflyFanatic3 The singing part I can understand, that's genetically given. But, I still believe that there can't be a better performance of Elphaba. Because I also strongly take at heart that some of Elphaba's character has been made by Idina, she made that up. And all following actresses just "simply" (well, not just simply. You know what I mean) play the part. Not meaning that those actresses aren't brilliant in any way, they must be. To play Elphaba!!
