Willemijn Verkaik - Catfight Scenes 

Even if Willemijn isn't your favorite Elphaba, I think everyone can agree that she does the absolutely best Wicked Witch cackle of them all.

It's interesting how in different languages/cultures the actors' reaction to the slaps are different. Even the battle sounds differ.

This is how I feel the Catfight scene should be. In the US, London, and Australia versions it's always so comical and it doesn't fit. Elphaba and Glinda have so much history together. From hating each other to being best friends and having to separate and Elphaba being on the run, then Fiyero leaving Glinda for Elphaba and now Nessa dying... They should be angry at each other and it should be heartbreaking to watch. It really takes away the gravity of the situation when the audience is just laughing the whole time. Especially considering Fiyero is about to be tortured and lose his human body forever.

Just watched her in a English production and her accent is barely noticeable, her ability to adapt to different languages is amazing.

I don't know one word of German but this is freaking amazing

I always find this scene just so corny! But that does not detract from the performances of the two ladies. Just look at Willemijn! Every tine I see her I think that I really am watching the real Elphaba Thropp. The woman is just so utterly brilliant! So much talent! So, so very, very good at what she does. I have two favourite Elphabas. One is Idina and the other is this utterly brilliant lady. I just don't have words that can praise her enough.

I don't know why the "nein natürlich nicht" made me laugh so hard but omg

Lol! What the heck is that sound Willemijn produces after the witch cackle of the first catfight (02:33)? Sounds like a whistle tone or a dolphin whistle or something.

She is an amazing elphaba I saw her in London I'm surprised how she has done the show is so many different languages

"Nein natürlich nicht." made laugh so hard omg

her laught is just amazing!!!

I once saw a bootleg of the 2013 Dutch production where Fiyero comes in with a broom instead of a gun :D I would've loved to see what was going on backstage just before it happened.

I love how the guard just picks glinda up and carries her it's one of the funniest moments in the play

Thank you so much for sharing! Willemijn is a phenomenal Elphaba, she is so passionate. All of the other actors are brilliant too, better than most of the English speaking casts I've seen.

This acting is better than American acting

She wore the exact same hat throughout her time in Wicked.

I think her mocking them is the funniest thing ever 😂

the actors' expressions are amazing!

cool! Willemijn is Worlds Best Elphie!

I LOVE IT 💚 I miss this amazing musical so so much!

I CANT UNDERSTAND A WORD BUT WHEN ELPHABA MOCKED GLINDA IN THE LAST ONE I CRIED DJSJFJ AND WHEN THEY LIKE GROWLED AT EACH OTHER IM LAUGJINH

I don’t know German but I still understand the entire conversation

1:20 - her impression😂

That Glinda, though.

2:54 that scream will be in my head forever

I don't understand a single words but it is so funny 😂😂😂

Willemijn is by far the best Elphaba.

I don’t speak this language but love to watch this scene

My favorite part is when Elphaba is attacked with her own hat. It wasn't in these ones though. Guessing the timing was wrong and Glinda doesn't have the chance to.

Chantal zal altijd mijn favoriete Glinda zijn ❤️ zo hilarisch haha

Wir können ja nicht alle per Luftblase an und abtanzen!!!!!.super ,und diese Mimik einfach köstlich selbst in NL.saukomisch

best elphaba besides idina

Does anyone have a link to the play where Jim (Fiyero), uses a broom instead of the gun by mistake? I've been searching for it but I can't find it

Ich hab mir das schon bestimmt 10 Mal angeschaut immer noch super witzig.fur mich ist Willemijn Verkaik,die Nummer 1 der Elphabas, man sieht's auch an ihrer Mimik , Reaktionen,das sie einfach Elphaba ist.danach kommt Idina Mentzel.und dann Rachel Tucker.

I don't speak German, but that Fiyero is legit

Diese erste Scene von 2009 find ich die beste unter allen.willemijn ist und war die beste elfhie , Platz 2 die 2.te Version in dutch..wenn man den deutschen Text kennt versteht man auch dutch.

Irgendwoher kenne ich Elphabas Verhalten doch... Wenn ich mich ärger geht das genau so ab... Nur sind die, die mich kennen spätestens mit Sicherheitsabstand in Deckung, wenn ich mich so ähnlich verhalte wie Elphaba bei "Dann glaubst du also, dass Wirbelstürme einfach so entstehen?" (Ich weiss, heisst ein bisschen anders), weil bei mir die Explosion/Keilerei etwas schneller kommt ;)

I like the contrast from Stelley. Glinda, in Maguire's novel and in pretty much that same scene, is just like (very calmly) "You need to get your shit together, we won't talk like this, I had more right to those shoes than you did, bitch".

Idk what their saying (well I kinda do cuz I know the scene) but this is so cool

What language is this in?

Do you have the entire show?

GEWELDIG

Is the first one German?

does somebody have the entitre show with chantal janzen or keet

Céline and Chantal mixed would be the best Glinda ever. Also, I love how Willemijn's accent was still so Dutch in 2009 Also, why they ever allowed Keet to do this is just beyond me. She just cannot act. Also, why did they choose to say doro-tee in the Dutch production. I know the th sound is harder for Dutch people than Germans, but it just sound stupid.

The scene definitely flows differently in German. Would anyone be able to translate it?

7:38 is met chantal love itttt

2:33 teekessel activated

Do they ACTUALLY slap each other? Or do they just pretend to hit each other?

jA NoU hEeL FiJN *Pets*

omg 1:38 IS SO FUNNY JASJJS

Do they say things in english at times in the netherlands one!
