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.

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

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.

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

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

"Nein natürlich nicht." made laugh so hard omg

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.

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

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.

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

This acting is better than American acting

I think her mocking them is the funniest thing ever 😂

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.

1:20 - her impression😂

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

2:54 that scream will be in my head forever

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

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

the actors' expressions are amazing!

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

That Glinda, though.

cool! Willemijn is Worlds Best Elphie!

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

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

Willemijn is by far the best Elphaba.

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.

best elphaba besides idina

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

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

GEWELDIG

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.

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.

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

Do you have the entire show?

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".

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 ;)

Is the first one German?

What language is this in?

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

7:38 is met chantal love itttt

2:33 teekessel activated

does somebody have the entitre show with chantal janzen or keet

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

@dinawawer Hi maybe a strange question but do you still have the recordings of kara lindsay and Caroline bowman they are deleted from KZfaq I know but can you please send them to me via email??? thanks

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.

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

jA NoU hEeL FiJN *Pets*

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

LOL @ 1:29

German 😍

omg 1:38 IS SO FUNNY JASJJS

Glinda is Xena

2:25 6:13 9:37
