I put as many different portrayals here as I could. If a certain actor doesn't appear here I either couldn't find or didn't have audio/video of them singing the song, or they didn't perform the role until after the video was published.

Danny's Domain I think it's the best way to test their skills to see if they are capable of tackling Elphaba. Because of Nessa's turnaround in the second act it's a great way to put their acting chops up to the test

Original Lyrics: Save him, please just save him, my poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him. I remember how he held me at the dance. And no matter what his crime, if I could, I'd turn back time! Is there a chance, Elphaba? With one of your chants?

Love some, of those early rare clips. Eden actually went on a fair number of times as Nessa. She performed as Nessa publicly months before debuting as Elphaba, and actually went on at Jennifer Laura Thompson's second show in July 2004 and her last day in the company (for the first time) in September 2004. I'm not a huge fan of Nessa as the character but I do,consider myself tremendously lucky to have seen both Eden Espinosa (twice) and Shsohana Bean in the role

Did anyone else notice that Stevie Tate-Bauer's one sounded exactly like Cassie Compton. I had to listen to it several times before I realised. If you listen carefully to Stevie's one, and then Cassie's one, you'll notice that the voice and the riffs are exactly the same. It might just be me but I think they used the same recording twice for those two actresses.

@thebrideinthemirror2030 7 жыл бұрын

Well, I do know that Stevie was Cassie's understudy. But I have heard clips of Stevie singing and it didn't sound like the clip in the video. I've seen Cassie live and she sounded exactly like that.
