I think it's amazing how she even switches up her English accents. So in London it's a British-English accent, and in the US it's more of an American accent.

Willemijn Verkaik is one of my favourite Broadway actresses! I love her so much!

@tischiisBAD 10 лет назад

I just love Willemijn so much. It's a shame that I missed her as Elphaba in Germany and London :x

@RaelEmpire316 10 лет назад

She's beautiful. She does a great job speaking in English and could control her accent very well.

Thanks for the great interview. I love Willemijn!! She is incredible and seems like such a genuine and lovely person. I wish she was staying on Broadway longer and I really really hope she comes to Australia soon!!!

@Richarmed 11 лет назад

Gotta love Willemijn!! She's so humble & kind. And an amzing Elphaba. Lucky you for seeing her on Broadway! Thanx for the interview. Love it!

@Nerwen1000 11 лет назад

Thank you so much!!! Such an amazing interview. Love Willemijn. Can not wait to learn what she will do next, too bad she didn´t said but it surely will be awesome.

@SupermichieldeDudexx 11 лет назад

SHE IS SO AWESOME, I'm one of the biggest 12 year old WICKED! fans in Holland, and I'm collecting money to see her in Londen. Willemijn is my favorite musical artist ever! If everyone would hear her they agree with me. Thanks for the video

@jjohansan 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us! means a lot!

@mr.bernji 11 лет назад

Hey from Austria, i saw her at WICKED in Stuttgart, SHE WAS GREAT!!! I think 26th may is to short! :-)

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

I watched this again to see what you mean and I think she is just positioning herself to have a better conversation so she could turn to me more..she was certainly lovely

@JessicaKOfficial 9 лет назад

SHES AMAZING

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

Yes-I agree-she is AMAZING xxx

@broadwaymike92 11 лет назад

Missed Willemijn when I saw the show the second time... Donna Vivino (her Standby) was amazing as well!!

@Roberco 11 лет назад

I love how she starts leaning farther and farther away -- just interesting! I'm from TX and we all get close too, but some people are put off by it!

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

YES!!! I agree-she is exceptional xxx

@aspoonfulofpaolo 11 лет назад

I really enjoyed this interview Megan! Such great questions & love that we were able to see the backstage. You rock!!! :)

@ryanjensen8371 11 лет назад

You are so lucky, Megan, to go backstage to all of these great things, especially Wicked! I would kill to go backstage & to have the chance to interview the cast haha! Thank you so much for all of your great videos! I've been a long time subscriber & I always love the videos that you post! Thank you so much for another amazing interview! I saw Willemijn on her Broadway debut & she was amazing. I'm seeing her again on her last show & I can't wait!! Thank you again for the amazing videos! ~Ryan

@sarawareham2573 10 лет назад

Great video! :) I just saw Willemijn perform in London on Saturday 21st of June and she blew me away, Defying Gravity & No Good Dead gave me goosebumps! I've been lucky enough to see a few musicals and up to Saturday the Lion King was top of my list but everything about Wicked just topped that & then some. The songs, the set and Willemijn & Savannah as Elphaba & Glinda were flawless. Will be seeing it again soon I'm sure. And Willemijn seems soo nice in the interview :)

@Skatjekim 10 лет назад

Great interview, thnx 4 sharing! Love Willemijn! She stopped early at West End because she had to undergo back surgery and she is currently recovering from that. On facebook she said everything is going well, so I hope we get to see her on stage soon again, hopefully in The Netherlands too. Maybe in the musical of Frozen, that would be cool!

@jewelchic 9 лет назад

Skatjekim Thanks-I didn't know that x

@Skatjekim 9 лет назад

She is currently rehearsing for her new role. copied from the net (faster then typing :P ): Willemijn will join the cast of ‘Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown’ at the Playhouse Theatre which opens on 20 December till 9 May 2015. Willemijn will play the role of Paulina Morales. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is adapted from Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s Oscar-nominated 1988 film of the same name. The story revolves around a professional movie dubber who discovers unsavoury secrets about her married lover after he abruptly abandons her.

@WTH828 9 лет назад

Can you copy and paste the link to her FB page? I tried and could only only find a fan-based page. It wasn't her actual page.

@jewelchic 9 лет назад

I think that is her only page

@talenttrapp 11 лет назад

Will you ever stop seeing Wicked?! This is fantastic, thanks so much :)

@chris6770 11 лет назад

Great interview, Megan, you're a natural :)

@1217WICKED 11 лет назад

Great video! Thanks Meg for all of your Wicked videos! Are you making a video for your taco night with the LB cast? I hope! :)

@angelinapilarz6772 11 лет назад

WILLEMIJN hopes that she will have her own album of Wicked in English! I say go for it, there is nothing stopping her from achieving her dream!

@Ravia1412 11 лет назад

12:12 There's a letter from a Dutch fan on the door! How nice :D (for English people: it says good luck) And there's another one in the back, but I can't read it. And this interview is just fantastic, like Willemijn is!

@denman2991 11 лет назад

yeah it's true she starts on west end november 18, 2013 and will be there for almost a year if you get the chance go see her she's absolutely AMAZING

@Racheltwin94 11 лет назад

Wonderful video- she seems lovely and is ridiculously talented! What a great opportunity for you to be able to get an interview backstage on broadway! At the end of the year Laura and I are spending 2 weeks in America (first time overseas- woohoo!!) and I was wondering if you had any suggestions for places to go or things to see in LA, Chicago or NYC (preferably student-budget friendly!)? xx Rachel

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

You will LOVE her x

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

Actually in early 2000 Block read the part of Elphaba in the first reading of the new musical Wicked. After a few months of reading she was replaced by Idina Menzel, a decision that left Block devastated, but accepting of the decision that had been made to cast a more experienced performer in the role.

@williamjorgensen6982 10 лет назад

such a beautiful woman

@TotallyMusicals 11 лет назад

A lovely video! You need to come and see Willemijn in London in November!

@angelinapilarz6772 11 лет назад

She hopes that she will make a new album that's her dream to make a debut album of Wicked from her experience with playing the role of Elphaba in broadway! That what she said in the video tho :)

@angelinapilarz6772 11 лет назад

I tried to find it and I found it on Amazon (but my uncle won't by it for me), and I found out that I can download it online on your computer (my computer is busted) so I'm using my iPod to do everything including RU-vid! So yeah.........

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

Yep-we will make a video :D x

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

@WickedGrindle1115 11 лет назад

Yay, Megan!! :D

@Nerwen1000 11 лет назад

Would they make a new album? I mean, they already have an english cast album with Idina & Co. But if would of course be great if they would give her this opportunity.

@bectayler 11 лет назад

i bought mine on amazon :)

@daisy-ci7cx 10 лет назад

Cool

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

No idea-but I'll keep you up to date on my Jewelchic "like" page on FB

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

Yes very xxx

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

She means an album of her OWN music...not Wicked xxx

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

No No-she means her own album, her own music -not a Wicked album x

@Ravia1412 11 лет назад

Really?! That would be amazing! But in Dutch would be even better, because we don't have a cast album :(

@jewelchic 11 лет назад

I'm not sure-maybe google search it

@disneydanny2 11 лет назад

the dressing room you were in is now in the process of being remodeled into more women's restrooms. as a result Elphaba now has the Wizard's old dressing room and they have moved the wizard's dressing room upstairs

@Nerwen1000 11 лет назад

Any idea what her plans, which she can not say anything about, might be? Is it another musical? I doubt she was talking about her album, couse why shouldn´t she be able to say anything about that?

@WTH828 9 лет назад

This is so weird! In her British interviews, she has a British accent but here she doesn't I wonder witch accent is just an act. Still adore her though.

@phoenixb9909 9 лет назад

+TheNancyc1 presumably both of them are an act. her natural accent is likely to be dutch.

@TheEmAndNic 8 лет назад

+TheNancyc1 Many dutch people learn english in schools with british tapes! My best friend from the Netherlands has a bit of a british accent in english!
