Contains several vocal gems, including her new, extra developed new "with the Wizard" riff, as well as something special on "my life, and I'll want nothing else till I die" and Willemijn's exquisite tone and belt.

What the fuck have I just listened to? Could it be the best version of the Wizard of I ever heard?! I think so! I wonder if she got a slap on the wrist for this craziness?

@AJKoehler 7 лет назад

changedforgood91 you have to get riffs approved. She definitely got these approved

@stephenvalentinemusi 7 лет назад

Eden Espinosa would try things out in her early days without asking, so she might have done that to this too. They're so killer though, how could she not share them.

@rossharmon1171 7 лет назад

Andrew J Koehler from what I can gather, James was away so wasn't there to approve them...

@AmberLiusStrrawberry 7 лет назад

Andrew J Koehler But why? Couldn't they just do it? And what if the actors came up with it at the very moment?

Not only was she coming for blood; the freaking orchestra was keeping up with her. The orchestration had some new, sexy things going on that kept up with her vocals resulting in my wig being completely snatched..

More than 2 years later and I still have to come back here and listen to this every once in a while to have my wig blow away by Willemijn's tornado of a voice and consequently feel replenished and suddenly life is good

@musicatheatrefan 7 лет назад

I love this video. I got to see Willemijn live on April 11th and I was freaking out the entire time because she was so amazing and perfect. I was so lucky to get the chance to meet her after the show along with Suzie Mathers (Glinda), Mark Curry (the Wizard), Oliver Savile (Fiyero), and Sarah McNicholas (Nessarose). I will never forget that time when I got to meet my role models. It was so amazing. Too amazing to put into words.

@harryincorde 7 лет назад

Elphaba Thropp wow how lucky 😍 I went and saw them on May 30th except for Suzie. I was literally petrified for the 3 hours. It was so good.

@musicatheatrefan 7 лет назад

I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Especially during Willemijn's Defying Gravity and No Good Deed. I cried during For Good. Every time I have been to see Wicked, For Good has always made me cry. So does the melting scene, even though I know that Elphaba only fakes her death. Willemijn and Suzie are just so amazing together onstage, and the way they portray Elphaba and Glinda respectively are just too amazing to put into words really. And Sarah made a brilliant Nessarose, especially during the Governor's Mansion scene and Wicked Witch of the East.

@harryincorde 7 лет назад

Elphaba Thropp I totally agree! The way Willemijn interprets Elphaba is just so perfect and exactly how I pictured her! So strong and open and vulnerable at the same time with an amazing sense for sarcasm it's just unreal. I've never had this feeling of being so blown away by a performance. You are right, there are just no words 😩 I hope so much that I can make it one more time.. maybe see Suzie and Willemijn together.. the singing, too is just... I'll stop here cause I could go in forever 😂 let's just say she pretty much mastered that role. For me, she IS Elphaba.

@musicatheatrefan 7 лет назад

I completely agree 100%. Alexia Khadime may have been my first Elphaba (and she was awesome), but Willemijn will always be THE best Elphaba ever, though I would say Rachel Tucker came a pretty close second.

Jay Robinson breath support, my friend....breath support.

@GayLoveKicksAss 5 лет назад

Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga What does that mean?/How is she able to go so long without appearing to breath? I've always wondered how it was done. (I'm sorry I don't know very much about singing, I just like listening to it).

@whittosjuju 5 лет назад

Practice your breathing control, how you breathe and inhale to sing out notes with more fullness and power...strengthening your diaphragm, all that good stuff.

@GayLoveKicksAss 5 лет назад

@@whittosjuju Wow thank you for answering. So the stronger your diaphragm is the more air you can hold/can exhale for 'x' amount of seconds?

@AlexFry01 5 лет назад

It's more the more control you have over your diaphram the better you can manipulate it and create bigger sounds with minimal breath being used. The best belters use less breath when belting big and loud because they achieve the power through breath support, really good technique, sound placement, and a healthy mix voice, whereas weaker belters will push more air to force the notes louder.

@stormbob 5 лет назад

I get it. I see how it is. This girl is just gonna march right up here (or fly right up here), snatch my wig right off my head, and walk away. There have been a lot of extremely talented women who've played Elphaba (Shoshana Bean, Jenny DiNoia, Stephanie J. Block, etc.) but Willemijn is just in a whole other league. There's outstanding and then there's "how in the hell did she do that six shows a week for a year on multiple occasions?"
