I want to know what everybody thinks about them.
I truly Believe Ashford is the best Glinda to hit the stage. Her delivery and her facial expressions just makes every song for me, but at the same time SJB just doesn't do it for me. Her voice doesn't fit the part for me really and I find myself feeling like the entire show revolved around Glinda.

What do you guys think?

[wickedlover4ever]

Well... I think that Annaleigh is very good and does a great job but she isn't nessesary my favorite. On the other hand I love Stephanie. Not just in Wicked but in everything. Everyone has their favorites though so, yeah. Thats mine

I disagree, in my eyes, Stephanie far outranks Annaleigh.
SJB has such a great understanding of the character (having help to create who the musical-Elphaba would be), and her voice is just unbelievable.

[actor]

Stephanie has a good voice but she really can't act. She over-emotes everything.

[actor]

erm ... Sarah Shiteman got on Broadway.

The only reason Stephanie got on Broadway was her voice. If she didn't have that voice she would be nowhere near Broadway.

[Felix Felicis]

To be fair, it was probably a lot to do with her husband...

But you could say that of half the actors on Broadway now. Let's take a random Elphaba - Shoshana Bean. Would she be where she is without that voice? No, not a bit of it.

[actor]

Shoshana Bean is a decent actress and deserves to be on Broadway much more than Stephanie J Block.

Stephanie J. Block and Annaleigh Ashford were my first Elphaba and Galinda...

...and they were both absolutely amazing!

SJB - I agree with Felix. SJB far outranks Annaleigh.
Annaleigh - Even though she isn't on par with SJB, she's an excellent Galinda and I love her spasticness (as in Popular)

[wickedlover4ever]

What does Stephanie's husband have anything to do with it?

[wickedlover4ever]

Oh ok, I didn't see that right.
