So happy for SJB to be taking over the role officially!

The most underrated actress ever. Incredible voice, sumptuous in 9 to 5, a power house who made the role of Elpheba original again....

@lwclark96 No she was only there filling in while Sutton did a small intro to a new tv sitcom.

Stephanie J. Block has been consistently good, if not, GREAT in every production she has done in the past decade. When I saw her in "The Boy From Oz", I was convinced that I was seeing Broadway's next big star, but no Tony nomination. Since then, she has been an Elphaba replacement (one of the best), been the lead in a flop (Pirate Queen, and she was good in that too) and she was wonderful in 9 to 5 (why she didn't get the best notices is a mystery) and here..wow..she needs a vehicle and a Tony.

Stephanie Block > Sutton Foster

@theatrekid32 I never said anything about broadway. In the SF tryout, where Wicked was produced originally before moving to broadway, Elphaba was played by Menzel, while Block was in the ensemble and u/s. It was during this tryout that Block left for TBFO. She left before the broadway production, at which point Shoshana became the new u/s, which I believe is the cause of confusion.
I saw Stephanie perform this too and she was FANTASTIC! I'm not taking anything away from Sutton Foster but SJB plays this part so much better. She comes off being sexier, she can dance just as well and her voice is SECOND TO NONE! I'd love to see a video of her performance. Sutton is lucky to still have a job when she came back from California. There was a reason why Stephen Schwartz wrote the "Wicked" music for her, she's the best there is. She's way overdue for a Tony.
