By pure coincidence I saw her as both Nala from The Lion King AND Elphaba in Wicked - yesterday, in fact. And she blew me away on both occassions. Such a beautiful and talented young lady. But my fave was definitely Wicked. ;-)

@dalis902 The green makeup (they usually use) is Mac Chromacake in the color Landscape. It's part of their "Pro" collection, so you have to have a pro account to purchase it from their website, and it's fairly expensive. Some alternatives for the green are Paradise Makeup AQ, which is about $10. The powder is a theatrical setting powder which is translucent. Baby powder would make the makeup look chalky because it's white, and wouldn't keep the makeup from smudging. Ben Nye powder is also $10.

what kind of Mack up u use and the powder was just baby powder?

@LoveBroadway1510 It could be Pros-Aide which is acres stronger than spirit gum as far as adhering goes. Or it could be regular spirit gum - I don't know for sure though, I'm afraid.

[LoveBroadway1510]

Does anyone know if the glue used on the wig is spirit gum? Or is it a different type of glue?

@Bigbigsmiles It Wasnt Them I Saw... The Video Was A Pretty Old Performance, And Thats Just My Opinion! I Just Didnt Think The Accents Went Well With Wicked... And It May Be Because Im Compairing The London Version With The Broadway Version:)

@gravitydefying94 Maybe you need to realize the difference between "fact" and "opinion." Just because you don't like a certain actress doesn't mean she's not good, its an OPINION. So stop going around saying which Elphabas "suck" and which are "good" cause it's all OPINION!

Also there's something called dialect; it's when people speak with a different accent but it's the same language. Just because they talk faster doesn't mean they rush and it's not acting... Keep your opinions to yourself.
