5 Cities, 4 Countries, 3 Languages, 2 Continents and one perfect Role! Over 10 years! This Woman is Amazing!!!

[@Basssss]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WILLEMIJN SLAYED THAT PERFORMANCE!!!

[@Basssss]

And that was fast haha Thank You

[@stormbob]

That riff at the end of DG. Holy shit.

[@KLK1618]

Her Defying Gravity always leaves me speechless! She's absolutely amazing!

[@paulh.7015]

Willemijn is so so so so so sooooo good! Netherlands, Germany, New York City, London!!!! And she deserves it! What a talented woman!!!♥

[@kealasantiago7810]

SHE SLAYED THAT PERFORMANCE!

[@annikaverkaiking554]

Willemijn Verkaik is so indescribably good. She is the best musical singer of all time 💚

[@annikaverkaiking554]

Domi H. They are all amazing but in my opinion not as great as Willemijn 💚😍

[@aiya3130]

Willemijn is amazing! It blows my mind that she's sung in so many different languages!

[@xavierdallenmusicuniverse6304]

Alice Fearn and Willemijn are Queens

[@OkieAllDay]

I'm not gonna argue with you on that one. She is the best in 3 different languages on top of it all

[@minihobo89]

That final riff is INSANE!!! WOW!

[@katiearchbold6089]

Suzie and Willemijn sing For Good so beautifully! 😭💚 And Willemijn's riffs during DG were amazing! So lucky to have been able to see this! 💚

[@zalua]

1:27 - Willemijn starts singing Crowd: WHOOOOOH!!!!!

[@daveg5978]

I could watch this video all day. And it always leaves me feeling better. I've become such a big fan of Willemijn after seeing this. Wish I had known about her sooner.

[@ellengibson486]

the best Elphaba/Glinda combo for sure! Willemijn is just incredible! Feel so lucky to have caught her in Wicked this year.

[@all_is_well_Mara]

Willemijn 🙌

[@musicatheatrefan]

Wow, I was completely blown away by that rendition of Defying Gravity. The end riff was insane! And in the amazing way. Willemijn is just so amazing. She and Suzie sang For Good so beautifully. I was lucky to get to see these two amazing women live at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, and I was also lucky to actually meet them afterwards. I was pretty much speechless when I met them. Both of them are just too amazing to put into words.

[@aidenoliver1681]

Elphaba Thropp hi Elphaba hows life?

[@hayleycarson4700]

Willemijn is just a goddess - what a voice & These two are by far my favourite duo 🔥

[@hayleycarson4700]

6:45- is a goosebump moment 👏🏽👏🏽

[@sylvani1]

I would love to see willemijn Verkaik and idina menzel sing together

[@elisecrauwels6537]

Willemijn is so amazing!

[@bethblalock1644]

I Love this song

[@suzanoldenbeuving5791]

The dutch were represented very good, I mean Celinde Schoenmaker AND Willemijn Verkaik.

[@heyyoufoundtheviolet]

i was incredible lucky to see willemijn as elphaba in march when i went to london, and let me tell you, watching her live is an experience like no other.

[@caiaugustphoenixjarvis3834]

heyyoufoundtheviolet same

[@verkaiking7450]

This IS Elphaba. End of discussion.

[@elsiepawul6830]

Ikr!!!!!!!

[@Luisa-ev1eq]

YES!!

[@aidenoliver1681]

So true I’m literally crying

[@braziliansimon2737]

Y E S

[@tobealostwanderer]

I always get goosebumps with Defying Gravity

[@amyvsmith1989]

I have to say that this gave me goosebumps yesterday live. Incredible Defying Gravity

[@LauraLouTravels]

Actually held my breath at the end! AMAZING!

[@Unbreakable86_]

I had the great honor of being blown away by these two in July 2017. Willemijn has been my favorite for 13 years and to finally see her live (and meeting her) had me sobbing in my seat at the Apollo. And Suzie? Damn, their chemistry on stage was everything !!! And such a sweet, lovely human being off-stage, too. Best day of my life.

[@lostndk]

Saw it for the first time Friday July 14 and Willemijn Verkaik blew me away!!!! Loved her and the whole cast . Wish I could fly back and see it again.

[@kristiendebeuckelaere3563]

Goosebumbs!

[@Schattenspiegel]

One of the best casts that wicked ever has. We´ve been in Wicked because of Willemijn Verkaik and it´s such a moving story. There is a reason, why people love this show so much and it´s going to celebrate the 11th year on westend in september.

[@ryosup560]

She’s the best elphaba ever…

[@auryn8450]

Willemijn is such a queen

[@thomasnicholls7151]

This so needs to be made into a film!!

[@glitterbaby00]

Aside from the Chenoweth and Menzel version (For Good) this is by far my favourite!! Such a pleasure being able to watch all the amazing performances live today, huge well done to everyone involved. Thanks for uploading so quickly 😊💚

[@rentsy3444]

check out the Thanksgiving version with Shoshana Bean and Meagan Hilty

[@justaguy1768]

LITERALLY NO REASON that her name shouldn't be a household name. Flawless performance, still with emotion, even though she's probably sung that song 5,000 times (and I'm not really exaggerating, between 3 languages and at least 4 countries over the last many, many years). Love her.

[@thebullandtheshewolf]

Justa Guy 5

[@orchishmamukherjee5250]

Over 2000 times in the show. Plus countless live performances and one cast recording

[@helenbrown5369]

Love these two

[@claudiafelton9267]

I went and saw this yesterday live in the Victoria theatre in London !!!!!! Amazing ❤️

[@nh3208]

Aside from the Chenoweth and Menzel version this For Good is by far my favourite!!! Such an amazing day at WestEnd Live and watching all this talent live. Thanks for uploading quickly ☺💚

[@angelwood7729]

[@emmahirst1344]

emma courtney I agree FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE AGREES SOPHIE AND ALICE ARE THE BEST 😂

[@MrDefyinggravity1]

[@emmavaughan7295]

[@ClaudiaBronte]

WOW! That's all I can say

[@laso2030]

Claudia Bronte Appena pensavo : conosco questo profilepicture :') Sei stata cosi fortunata a vedere Willelmjin come Elphie quando sei stata a Londra :)

[@ClaudiaBronte]

Sirenetta 20 Ahaha xD sono io! Si, l'ho vista con Suzie ed è stato fantastico 💚💚

[@laso2030]

Claudia Bronte Adesso che parliamo di West end live , hai visto anche la performance di Les Misérables :) ? Il Enjolras è nella mia opinione uno dei migliori che ho visto (su video naturalmente😂)

[@ClaudiaBronte]

Sirenetta 20 Si, l'ho vista! Mi sono piaciuti tutti 😍

[@laso2030]

Claudia Bronte Siii 😍

[@declanparkes9875]

Sie ist erstaunlich! Sie kann dieses Leid in drei verschiedenen Sprachen singen! She's amazing, she can sing this song in three different languages.

[@Linseyap]

How did anyone dare go on after her?!

[@martjeh9499]

Willemijn is my 2. favourite after Idina Menzel of course💓

[@PutmanNiels]

[@emelygarcia5578]

[@sophiastolte942]

Who dislikes? :/ it’s just amazing!!

[@onefaintrobin]

is no one gonna talk about that little peck on the cheek at 4:12 ?! I MEAN IT'S SO COOT :DD

[@zhengabbie3508]

Does anyone think 5:47 is the most difficult part of defying gravity , too ?

[@pkminpkmon]

Will you guys be covering all of West End LIVE this weekend??

[@tazgriffin]

Suzie Mathers is the best Glinda for me and Jemma Rix for Elphaba :P

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Is this after her back surgery?

[@bethblalock1644]

Willamina will always be favorite Elphaba she can sing

[@sophielafayette3333]

I can't help it but there are some moments when Glinda looks similar to Umbridge to me :| Absolutely talented, though!

[@bethblalock1644]

My favorite song is Defying Gravity

[@margaretlinsey]

So sad that they are both leaving the show 😣

[@isabelmayes564]

Margaret Murray if it helps, this means we get to see a new take on Glinda and Elphie and these two can go on to greater things

[@megw4475]

Margaret Murray when are the leaving?

[@amyw7976]

The Election Of 1800 they've already gone. Willemijn is in Germany now performing

[@megw4475]

Amy Whitewood ik isn't it alice fearn and Sophie Evans now?

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

The Election Of 1800 yeah and they're amazing

[@bethblalock1644]

My favorite song is For good

[@sylviab8482]

The mic can’t handle her vocals! Personally Rachel Tucker is my favorite Elphaba, but Willemijn is a close second! 😁

[@bethblalock1644]

Irina will always be favorite Elphaba she can sing

[@bethblalock1644]

Rachel will always be favorite Elphaba she can sing

[@user-jl9by3qi1o]

What's this song?

[@pip1278]

The first is "for good" and the second "defying gravity"

[@user-jl9by3qi1o]

Pip's & Co Thanks(^^)

[@xavierdallenmusicuniverse6304]

7:56 my WIG

[@Louise-jx6lp]

The last note was good but the rest sounded a bit strained, which I can understand

[@orangebar2693]

It's weird what order they did the songs in

[@isabelmayes564]

Chris Collins I think they wanted DG as the big finale

[@isabelmayes564]

Sarah Louise ah well it is an exhausting song

[@Budcat101]

Turn up the damned mic!

[@sunnyholey5670]

HEY IT'S ELSA!

[@joshuaandres9828]

Idina who???

[@angelwood7729]

Joshua Andres That burn though.

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

Dazeem

[@beccasouthwick]

Joshua Andres adele dazeem

[@transportandtheatrekid2298]

Menzel

[@vsstud]

THE. BEST. ELPHABA.EVER! (Sorry Idina :-((

[@paigenicoleandrews3195]

Willemijn is so good but my personal fave is always going to be Emma Hatton

[@dottysez]

So good! Still my fav is Rachel Tucker 😬

[@pikeybot]

Not a patch on Kerry Ellis.

[@inactive51]

chris d I met Kerry Ellis she’s so energetic and fun and loves talking about Alfred her kids I was at wicked workshop and sang defying gravity with her 😦😱🤗

[@Cecilialam888]

It’s unfair,when suzie started singing,there was no reaction but when willemijn sang every one cheered.In my opinion willemijn is overrated,her acting and comedic timing is horrible it’s only her vocals that are really good,she is also a sweets person in real life.I think that suzie is a better singer/actor

[@TabrisFruLar]

With all due respect, I don´t like this Glinda. Not at all. Vocally, she's ok, but I don`t like her for the part.

[@sophiecalverley8668]

I'm actually not a fan of this elphaba..

[@amyw7976]

Sophie Calverley She's Dutch so English isn't her first language. She's the longest running elphaba in the world (running for 10 years) and she's performed in 4 different countries in 3 different languages. So the west end isn't her full commitment

[@sophiecalverley8668]

Amy Whitewood gosh im allowed an opinion..

[@davidfletcher3638]

Meh

[@elisecrauwels6537]

Willemijn is so amazing!
