That riff on 'Defying' while hanging in the air with only 2 support ropes that secure her without a platform to stand on.. She is the ultimate Elphaba!

[@mollylikesspace]

She IS Elphaba, literally noone else can match her imo. I wish she could’ve been the movie Elphaba but whatever 💖

I'm sorry but the fact that she's up in the air flying around out of costume is making me giggle uncontrollably😭 I feel like the flying only make sense in the show. Willemijn sounds as fresh as she did when she opened in Stuttgart. A royal standard of vocals❤

[@OzdustBroom]

You must give props for the effort and the wow factor. And she sounds even better in person, this audio doesn't do justice!

[@ElphabaOrionDoherty]

I wish she comes back

[@godise96]

Literally nothing has changed. She’s just as incredible.

The ELPHABA!

[@doomslayer1984]

I really hope they at least considered her for the main role in the upcoming film.

[@kristoffsven6817]

She could play Elphaba in German or Dutch! Hopefully they dub the films

[@actorjulion101]

Everyone's been cast like 2 years ago lol

[@doomslayer1984]

@@actorjulion101I'm aware. That's why I said that I hope they at least considered her at one point. She is far more deserving of the part then who they chose.

​@@doomslayer1984Why? they chose Cynthia Erivo. Have you ever seen her singing? she is exceptional. There's a video of her singing through whistling and the musical notes come out perfectly. She is one of the greatest
