Willemijn Verkaik - Defying Gravity - 17th May 2017 *EPIC FINAL RIFF

[@kristofferravler3819]

There's no doubt anymore. She is THE Elphaba. PERIOD.

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

Kristoffer Hansen in 3 places

[@isaiahbaumgardner1802]

Jessica vosk though??

[@dima-bg9bs]

@@isaiahbaumgardner1802 I mean no disrespect to any other Elphaba’s because man these ladies are all power houses, but Willemijn really stands out in my opinion. She literally played the role on Broadway, West End, in Germany and in the Netherlands

[@dhrgkbqxtjr2743]

Jessica Vosk exists, so no she's not.

[@kristofferravler3819]

@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 Jessica is amazing. But Willemijn owns the crown 👑

[@IMournTheWicked055]

I love the laughter at the end. Just...disbelief.

[@atolee704]

I love how at 7:34 people just giggle because there is just no appropriate response for the incredible riff that she just did. Hahahaha

[@robbie8708]

It is me laughing and it is simply that exact reason

[@wickedlystemma1635]

That new riff she does on 'defying' at 6:57 is just the type of slayage I need in life. It made me audibly say YAS MAMA! She is just so so amazing!

[@amelialopez1693]

I was in the show and it was.........incredible!!! When I remember it I have goosebumps!!! For me, Willemijn is the best Elphaba!!

[@shanekauffman3820]

hot damn, that battle cry at the end 💕💕

[@hunter8749]

*Tries to belt like her* AAAAAHHH.... *No sound comes out*

[@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913]

H U N T E R lol same

[@MrDefyinggravity1]

I am lost for words ❤️❤️❤️

[@LindaaLoou]

Saw her last weekend. She was incredible!!

[@mattcookie]

Can not frikken wait to see her Wednesday, finally after all these years! Of course if the standby is on that's cool too, I haven't seen her either, gonna try and get to Willemijn's final show if I can.

[@holly-42]

I hope she does this at her concert!!!!

[@xavierdallenmusicuniverse6304]

RIFFS: 6:28 (HEAVEN) 6:56 (JESUS!!!!) 7:15!!!!! 7:32 (YAAAAAAS!!)

[@shanegallagher1391]

She's amazing

[@Jabroniville]

I was at the one two days later- ALSO very awesome! She really holds those last notes and "riffs" (is that the right term?), moving them up and down a bit.

[@ryans634]

Casual Wednesday night

[@akurayama143]

lol

[@Linseyap]

Omg thanks so much for this! I was there and was hoping someone recorded it! Her best I've heard so far 😍

[@WicKedlyGLeeky122296]

Wow ... I Am Lost For Words . Phenomenal.

[@BOWYERD999555]

Who needs money when you've got that rasp on the battle cry to pay your bills?!

[@tipofmytongue1024]

Obsessed

[@s0undstrulycrazy]

I wish she did this crazy shit when she was on Broadway!!! So awesome

[@remyboeschoten45]

She was not allowed to do such riffs at that time. When she first played in London she was not allowed to do her famous '' AAAHHH " riff either. Which is a shame, because she is even more breathtaking when she goes crazy!

[@bubble2245]

why not?

[@remyboeschoten45]

I don't know, but I asked willemijn when I met her in London!

[@bubble2245]

She just said that she wasn't allowed?

[@remyboeschoten45]

She told me she had to sing the songs in the original way. So that means, no riffs. But that was only for the first couple of shows. After that week she could do her famous '' Ahhh '' riff again :) Luckily!

[@BillyAlabama]

Spectacular!

[@robbiemann1695]

[@robbie8708]

[@robbiemann1695]

[@Linseyap]

[@Dan-pv7cu]

Linseyap yeah it's July 22nd, a few cast members have confirmed it

[@Linseyap]

Team Emphaba Who has? I asked her personally last week and she said they're not allowed to say yet.

[@MatisBauwens]
