So is Nessa usually played by an understudy for Elphaba?

Shoshana giving the most layered complex version. This was basically like Shoshana going to the MD and saying hey I’m the cover, let me do some runs and everything’s fine. Still to this day, you will not hear any artist do that many runs in the WWOTE.

Some of them were embarrassingly bad.

Deedee Magno Hall is one for the books. Acting, voice, phrasing, and inflection, to me she's the right combi.

Kerrie Anne Greenland should play tzeitel in fiddler on the roof

Jenny fellner should play Christine in phantom of the opera and tzeitel in fiddler on the roof

Can you please post the whole with Paige O'Hara please???

What abt Giselle (I forgot her last name)

Hannah the best 🥰

it’s DeeDee & Catherine for me

how tf did you find a video of the original japanese cast

She should never be teaching (hope this amazing talent is appreciated) she should have been one of our greatest stars but people don’t realise disgusting boundaries still exist. Is why we’ve not seen her doing so many varied west end show or just various shows in general. She’d have done much better in America but Britain still likes to see and promotes the usual look. Ask yourself why has such talent not been omnipresent!!!!

Heidi Kettenring is theee best Necessarose. From the Chicago run. Hands down. She is Necessa…

Diana Kaarina is my favorite one!

i love randy graff's version, the amount of emotion she puts really hits me

They’re all great but Betty Buckley is like watching a god

isay is always my gigi 😊

Isay

Laura Bell Bundy is the best! Her voice, her facial expressions and her moves. She’s the best 💕💕💕

I saw Simone live way back in the day and she was phenomenal!

Mulan is Lea Salonga her singing voice

I prefer the “eat too much ice cream” line. It just gives me more visuals of what Gigi sees in her dream

Isay and Milanie have the best technique (spot-on pitch and timbre) and cleanest execution. Sustainable and vocal-chords-friendly for multiple shows/repeats. Rachelle sounded pop and not the best for theatre.

Wow. What an amazing compilation!

While I love Sarah Brightmans Christine, I think my favorite has to be Patti Cohenour. Her operatic singing and her clearness on the song makes her my favorite!

it’s like Philippines versus Korea. Koreans have the highest notes. I think the Koreans are better than Philippines

Deedee Magno Hall will always be my fave <3

1:15 What a powerful and strong voice, really shows her anger and pain

THAT SHERIDAN SMITH CLIP ONE WAS SO CREATIVE

Too much of a good thing. The same song excerpt 100 times causes fatigue.

Fun fact: Amy Nuttall (1st UK Tour understudy) went on to be in Downtown Abbey.

Betty Buckley for me. I heard Elaine Paige too but in terms of vocal performance Betty Buckley is amazing . But in terms of acting performance Elaine Paige is the top pick for me. Jennifer Hudson is good as well in terms of the strong vocal emotional performance.

I have to give a special mention to Katie Rowley Jones (UK TOUR 2005). She was my first Belle when the show came to my.home town and she was wonderful! In fact this recording does not do her 100% justice. She is also a very lovely person as I got to meet her after. Her yellow ball gown was also the most movie accurate (though I also love the original Broadway dress) it had about 5 layers with a massive hoop underneath. I was in the front row so I could see all the beautiful details...I remember she said it was "very heavy. " Nic Greenshields was also a wonderful Beast and he and Katie had great chemistry on stage. ✨🌹

Becky... I believed that she believes she IS 'So Much Better'

Lee Kyung-Soo 9:32

Imagine having to learn a foreign language and perform onstage. 😱 These Filipinas are incredibly talented! 🫡

Elaine Page has a great voice, but I don't like the style she sings the song in. She overdoes it or something. That, "Touuche-a-meeEEe." Don't like it. There's far too many singers here to listen to the whole thing, heh. I saw Laurie Beechman when she was doing her Broadway run of this. It's the first voice I heard singing this song, and when it was live, my memory (wink) of it sounded better than what I'm hearing here from her. It filled the whole theater at that "touch me" part and I was thinking, "wow." Betty Buckley is the voice of the U.S. cast album, so I'm familiar with that and it sounds good to me. And Lea Salonga is always spectacular. There's a bunch here who can belt it out pretty good. But, I can't sit through 36 minutes of the same part of a song, so I can't judge everyone.

I LOVE Jennifer Paz as Kim! Specially in ''you will not touch him''

I don’t care for that lisp Nikki James sang it with.

I must be high. It’s almost midnight and I’m watching a 40 minute long video of every Eponine to ever sing on a stage… and commenting on it. France is the gold standard. Facts are facts. 💁🏼‍♂️

Pioneer Theater one…. 😂 Ello lil boy. 😂

I hate when the costumes looked like freshly washed clean clothes. 😂 The original original cast was gritty!!!!! And I loved it.

2002 Broadway was great. Unpopular opinion, I love Lea, but not for this song, I thought she was a tad boring. I prefer the thrilling belters. Isn’t it interesting how we all appreciate different things?

If the idea of cultural appropriation existed in the 80s we wouldn’t have Les Mis and it never would have spread around the world.

Kate is still the best, but Laura is iconic and her acting is stellar
