[@AlexHurleyMusic]

I feel like the golden age of Elphaba's is returning! I love the amount of fresh faces we're seeing for a show that loves to recycle old cast members. They're all coming in and showing from day one that they're gonna give the audiences the best experience they can have😭 With the movie coming out as well which is just going to further solidify Wicked's life onstage, plus the some of the best casts we've had in a long time, understudies and standbys included..wicked seems to be future proofed for I'd say another ten years. God I love this show 😭💚

[@scottspector6094]

Every Elphaba we have right now is so vastly different and incredible. Love to hear it.

[@justin3132]

Oh she's good. Like very very good. And this is her debut? Insane

[@veraelphie0306]

THAT was a LONG "IT'S MEEEEEEEEEE!" keep doing it your way, girl, never shorten it! It was about time someone made it longer again!

[@dawiz98]

This is her debut? It’s stunning! Her riffs at the end… I’M FLYING HIGH DEFYING GRAVITY… BRING ME DOOOOWN… OMG!!! 😱

[@Scandisk10]

If she’s not bumped up after Lauren, I will riot.

[@passionbowl]

I’m so glad you got this! I was at this show too and witnessed Carly’s debut, and I came out of it telling everyone she SLAYED Defying Gravity. Makes me emotional thinking of what that must feel like being up high in the spotlight, hitting that last note for the first time

[@KLK1618]

Oh my god I love her. She sounds like a mix of Jackie, Alison, and Marcie

[@mitchell104]

Omg that IS Alison Luff I’m hearing 😳😳

[@mitchell104]

It’s the “y-EVERYONE deserves the chance”, and the “tell them how-HIIIII”

[@Scandisk10]

No one is mentioning the ever so slight Hannah Shankman essence that’s going on too.

[@thenewmmc3]

Oh my god. Standbying some imitating the lead, regardless AMAZING omg!!! So great. Go girl!

[@levan874]

She is so so so good. There’s something about her voice that reminds me of Alison Luff.

[@itsmehoang]

agreeddd especially “how i”

[@MeredithJoyce-Houghton]

Omg, She is incredible! Outstanding debut! I got chills ❤

[@Itstonytime77]

I’m obsessed Carly!

[@TimeToBlowYourMind]

Such a beautiful voice! Incredible debut 🤩

[@alejandrogarcia_1]

If Mamie Parris and Alison Luff had a love child 😮‍💨 so fucking good!!!!

[@nicob2063]

With a sprinkle of Jackie Burns!

[@virginializcano3935]

Mamie, Allison AND Jackie!! I can’t keep myself composed here!

[@KLK1618]

Marcie too

[@jalon24]

Honestly it hit way different without the spoken “it’s me”. I like her timing. I could totally get used to that. 🙏💚

[@la24828]

oh she ATE this

[@miseceltic]

Wow, how is she not already Elphaba full time? She's the first one I've heard that, for me, comes anywhere close to being as good as Olivia Valli.

[@confusedvictorian]

Iiiiiii sense a lead on broadway happening very soon.

[@chrisroderosvlogsroderos267]

Just saw the final show today somebody better have the bootleg of Lauren’s defying gravity because I SWEAR that was the BEST defying gravity I’ve seen and heard and I’ve seen tons of Elphie’s (saw Wicked when it first came here in 2005 with Stephanie J Block)

[@Nepzer1]

Agreed also was there too plus in tears when Lauren sang her heart out during Defying Gravity.

[@chrisroderosvlogsroderos267]

@@Nepzer1Right I cried MULTIPLE TIMES during that show it was so special 😭😭😭

[@virginializcano3935]

We love an amazing standby!!!!

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

She’s better than many principles. Werk.

[@maicon.93]

she's so good!!!!

[@sheismymom]

I wish Wicked could stay in Toronto forever

[@Nepzer1]

Same here.

[@Puppet_Doctor]

I agree!

[@Broadwayriah]

Wicked should open a Toronto production !

[@Nepzer1]

@@Broadwayriah agreed

[@actuallygoldfish]

@@Broadwayriahmy wallet is begging you not to put this out into the universe

[@mitchell104]

Soooooo clean and giving Felicia Ricci boooots

[@triplem327]

Giving Alison Luff lowkey

[@Broadwayriah]

The difference in pre-flight lines remind me of the old school Elphaba & Glinda chemistry tbh

[@Scandisk10]

You mean the quiet intensity that can be more powerful than the current trend of screaming the lines? Yes, 100%

[@Broadwayriah]

@@Scandisk10Yup!

[@davemizzoni]

A legend!!! Go off girl!! Xoxox

[@Puppet_Doctor]

Such a beautiful and powerful voice. Hopefully, one day she will become a full time Elphie.

[@kevingirardbender]

Incredible!!!

[@ItsRickLopez]

This is het DEBUT? She is incredible! Amazing vocal control.

@@MBOYTWO34 I don’t, but she went on again at today’s matinee in Denver, so hopefully someone was able to catch her!

[@space_9501]

Preflight lines was slightly messed up but still great!! I vaguely remember another Elphaba made the exact same mistake too but can’t remember who exactly.

[@justin3132]

Shoshana Bean did. And Jessica Vosk screwed up her first in a different way

[@finnegan274]

I kind of prefer it like this rather than rushing to get all of them out… though I must admit I think Shoshana’s Halloween “mess up” is my favourite

[@space_9501]

@@finnegan274 Definitely and especially how she went mental with riffing after that

[@andrewewart7903]

It’s not really a mess up, she just missed out the “it’s me” before the long one.
