I just realized almost every Elsa in Frozen was an Elphaba Idina Menzel (OG Elphaba) (Elsa Voice) Cassie Levy, Alyssa Fox, Caroline Bowman, Jenna Rix were Elphaba at some point hoping to see Ciara Renee and Sam Barks as Elphaba
Jemma* She was Elphaba at Universal Japan and then for over 2000 shows across Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and back to Aus. Jemma and Caroline my 2 fav Elsa’s (I’ve seen 6 different Elsa’s live)
You're right. Elsa and Elphaba have similar themes in their stories. I also would love to see/hear Willejmin Ver kikh ( spelling?), the german/Dutch elphaba play elsa.
Big news in Aus, Jemma just reprised the role of Elphaba last night as Special Guest. When it was announced hrs before the show, the ticket website crashed from people trying to buy the last seats. Jemma was of course superb (I have a recording) like she never left.
@@remitheninjacat Lol thanks. It's a shame that Ciara and her cast didn't come back for the tour or anything. I would have loved to seen them. From what I've seen so far, I really liked that cast.
Hi, I think she has an awkwardness, especially in the beginning. At first, she seemed to have a bit of a local kid doing a REALLY BIG SHOW vibe. The blonde wig and dark eyebrow contrast don't help. Also, her lower register didn't seem on point at the start of the song. She definitely seemed more at home as Elphaba, I thought she was exceptional in that. However, by the end of this song, she won me over. Although she seemed tentative at first, she won me over by the end. I thought she was amazing. I saw a video of Ciara Renée the Elsa replacement she had pitch issues in one but not the other. Judging from Ms. Fox's other videos I think she's also vocally consistent.
