i'm so so happy she's lead, i've been following her since 2016 during her standby days & she's come so far!. no disrespect to any of the talented women who have played elphaba in the past few years, but i've been missing this kind of witchy, gritty approach to her that MKM brings. i can see her version of elphaba later becoming the wicked witch of the west that we've come to known, while still retraining the genuinely good qualities that wicked's elphaba has. i love the facial expressions, the growls, the acting, the emotion. i'm so excited to see her growth in the next year!

What an absolute treat it must be for anybody to see Marykate's Elphie as their first Wicked experience. I've been following her since I saw her on the Mean Girls tour years ago (and she's been my favorite Janis!) She deserves this so much.

This capture is incredible; it is a pro-shot in quality. I love both MK and AS acting choices and overall pacing; I haven't seen the type of intention and focus in the dialog moments, and there is no rushing, really being present in what is actually happening in the scene/moment.

Truthfully. I keep reading KZbin comments critical of the way she delivers the speech at the beginning of this song, and I really think you have to go see her live to understand why her interpretation works. Her Morrible is not just evil for the sake of it - she’s increasingly terrorized over the course of the show into doing things she knows are awful but that she does anyway to save her own skin. It’s terrifying in light of today’s political climate, and it’s such a smart way to play the character.

I was there that night!!! EPIC despite the midshow technical glitch. The Green Elixir slipped out of either MKM or Alexandra's hands at the top of POPULAR and broke. They continued the scene and then stopped for 5 minutes to clean the mess up. However, DEFYING GRAVITY was a literal rock concert experience!!
@t0kki_tokki27 күн бұрын
She’s my fave Elphaba of the new gen. She gave her own twists, but finally made me ACTUALLY terrified of her at some points. The terrifying and dark aspects of Elphaba is what makes her great, and she made me feel all that. Of course the ones before her were all great but some of them lacked that scare factor. She brought it back, served on a golden platter.
