There's just something so amazing and inspirational about an actress being so talented in a role that she not only performs it in her native country and a nearby country, but she becomes so well known that they invite her to play the part on broadway AND west end as well.

I don't understand the language, but she arguably is the best Elphaba... her voice is perfect for the role, the belting is so powerful and yet it doesn't sound irritating.

"Nooit meer een grens aanvaarden, omdat die grens daar is" is mijn favoriete zin, ironisch genoeg net omdat het exact is wat ik al heel mijn leven aan het doen ben. Autisme, faalangst en gebrek aan sociale vaardigheden zorgen ervoor dat ik liever helemaal niets doe dan het risico dat ik faal of domme dingen zou doen in de schijnwerpers...

Beautiful! It's so funny to read that people find Dutch to be a harsh language. I don't think that at all. People are just not used to hearing the 'g,' but I find that, even listening to people speaking Dutch, it sounds very fluid (especially when comparing it to German).

Saw her debut on Broadway in New York. Phenomenal performance. There is no other way to put it: Willemijn is simply amazing, both as an actor and a singer. In fact, it almost seems wrong to call her an actor: it was so natural, I felt as if Elphaba was truly a real person with whom I could connect and sympathize with. Immense kudos to Willemijn.

Been reading the discussion below about translations... I am a translator myself and on the whole, I think Martine (the translator) did a good job. I saw the Dutch production first and loved it. I only heard the original version afterwards. Without translation the show would not have been the success in the Netherlands that it is. Original lyrics are always better but that does not mean translations are bad. I love the Dutch show and I agree Willemijn is the no. 1 Elphaba of the world! #fan4life
