@@carlaroberts1386 no no...she was cast as Elphaba during the workshop....it was he chemistry with Chenoweth that made the whole Glinda Elphaba storyline. But SJB wasn't very famous so they wanted to cast someone bigger( they initially wanted Alanis Morrissette). Idina auditioned and was cast before rehearsals started for the Curran Theater tryout. SJB was the standby in SF. But when the show left for Broadway she got an offer to play Liza Minelli in Boy from Oz ( starring Hugh Jackman) and went for that. Eden Espinosa became Idinas standby.
is nobody going to comment how in control she is right here? She literally takes a moment to react to the guards blasting the door open. She then disappears into thin air, and literally within 3-4 seconds she is ready to fly and begins her pre-flight lines, which she delivers with a menace and sarcasm in her voice... she sounds like the original Wicked Witch in the classic film. Most actresses are so desperate to get into the lift, they rush all these pre-flights details. Stephanie is beyond a pro, she's just unbelievable.
There was a Wicked show in my area and one of my friends went, she gave me the playbill because my mom forgot to buy tickets for the family and I found out that Stephanie J Block was playing Elphaba.
Hi 💚
Do you have the full copy of the bootleg?? Can you send it via email?
Hello
the way she sang "it's meeeee" took me by surprise omg ive never heard anyone put it up a key 0:36
That's the way it's supposed to go
@@x0xTHLover4Lifex0x true she was the original Elpheba
@@puppymcpupsters she was not. She read for the role a few times in the workshops before Idina auditioned.
this is the most in tune version of this song i’ve ever heard
You can tell it was written for her😭💞
She’s the best. Period.
That woman is extraordinary.
She was almost picked before Idina for the first Elphaba.
They asked her, but she turned it down and did the Pirate Queen instead. It should have been a criminal offence.

everything was written for her
@@NairAthul so freaking sad. she deserved to play Elphaba. Oh damn she couldve played Elsa as well if she stayed with Wicked and got vv famous
Athul Nair I can see Alanis playing this role
she still gives me the tingles watching it over and over again.
Always was and always will be the Elphaba for me. That power 😍
There goes my girl
