Im from México and let me tell you, SHE'S THE BEST!!!!

[@AaronEscence]

Let me tell you... I had planned to go to London on August because of her. I'm from Spain, and I was waiting just for watching her on Wicked. I'm really sad because it was like a dream come true, she's my favourite Elphaba, and when I knew she left the show I get really painful. But I wish the best for her, and we will always have the memories of her amazing voice playing Elphaba!

[@luciahuang4231]

Wow!

[@henryleeactorsinger]

MostlyMe Hong Kong as well!

[@levi-dz9je]

Slovakia!! :)

[@pip1278]

Savannah being Willemijn's number one fan is the cutest thing ever !! 💚

[@britishbeauty1016]

Nope, that's fine. I didn't need my feelings anyway. It's okay just take them all.

[@Sojourner8]

Thank you for posting this! It gives Willemijn's many fans an opportunity to be there to share in this night vicariously through this audio. God be with you Willemijn!

[@mostlyme9828]

It's a pleasure! That's why I did it :) Wish it could have been a video, but alas, I'm not brave enough for that!

[@abbiecopson9034]

This made me cry. In my opinion she is the best Elphie, I feel so privileged to have seen her in February and she became my favourite Elphaba by far.

[@mattcookie]

I don't usually cry much, but this must be the very first audio recording fron Wicked to actually make me a little teary eyed, so touching! It'll remain one of my biggest regrets not going to see her sooner, was going to go last show in October but never mind, the prospect of seeing Kerry Ellis again is very exciting!

[@AndrewMEwart-uz2yv]

So sad!;( she was also cryingg! we love you willemijn

[@Osnapitzcaitlin]

i can't stop crying, wow i'm going to miss her so much. she's definitely superelphie, nobody could ever replace her. Savannah was so sweet

[@IA1212]

Oh the tears... my first of my five Elphies. The beginning of an obsession last year that's led to me seeing the show 18x to date... wow. Love this lady.

[@MirkaKaroliina]

I'm crying like a baby here

[@luciahuang4231]

ME TOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

[@TheRrulezz]

I can't thank you enough for uploading this!

[@mostlyme9828]

It's a pleasure! :)

[@BEKKY2131]

this is so sweet but also kind of heartbreaking! ♥

[@michaelpearce238]

So thankful I got to see her perform

[@EmilyEaton14]

The tears won't stop falling

[@nessii6325]

I would have loved to see her, unfortunately my travel to London wasn't until August so I wasn't able to see her. Kerry Ellis was really great, but I hope that Willemijn will come back. Even if it was for just one show, I'd fly there no matter where and when it was.

[@Varoon1]

Oh God, I'm so emotional now. )'x We love you Willemijn!!

[@Richarmed]

Love you for uploading these so quickly. My god I am crying so much right now my head hurts. Broke down when she mentioned her tough couple of months. It's all so sad. It should not have ended this way. Not because of this reason. But my god I admire her strength. She's such an inspiration. I love that woman.

[@fruupke79]

Thank you so so much for sharing!

[@englishcowgirl27]

Incredible Elphie to the end, much love to Willemijn x

[@Escapist96]

I don't even particularly like Willemijn (I think I am the weird one here) and this video still had me crying, because of Savannah... poor Savannah was nearly (or definitely) crying and so was Willemijn! That's so sad for them :(

[@eggmcmuffin8161]

I can't stop crying, between the emotional speech, and having similar experiences where I've had to part from people I love. Just hearing them talk, clearly crying is quite enough to start crying, but this is amazing! Thank you SO SO SO much for uploading. And do you still have the full recording? If you do can you send it my way?

[@Ravia1412]

I'm crying... She's definitely SuperElphie. And thanks for uploading so quickly! If you have any other audio of this night would you please share?

[@smiggles6963]

The thing I love most is that when Wicked recognised her talent, the UK were like “We have a strong European Elphaba so we can’t not have her in London”

[@sophiastolte942]

i am not crying, you are🥺🥺

[@jessicabustamante8061]

She is the best elphie in the world

[@TPappasFandubs]

:( I hope to see her in something someday.

[@luciahuang4231]

Ikr

[@KLK1618]

She really is the ultimate Elphaba!

[@mostlyme9828]

[@tomokelly7065]

These videos are fab, do you have a recording of her last one short day?

[@willbenra2634]

Can you please tell me what she is referring to when she says, "a rough couple of months?" What is wrong? Thank you. I searched and cannot find info anywhere.

[@mostlyme9828]

Dot Matrix Yeah, I don't know if you read it but here's the announcement that she was leaving: /www.wickedthemusical.co.uk/readnews.asp?id=102wkd She has to have surgery to treat her back injury. She's been struggling with it for months. She has been missing a few shows a week since mid-March/early April because of the injury, but has soldiered on and still continued to perform even though it sounds like she has been in a lot of pain!

[@willbenra2634]

***** Thank you both.

[@jesslintjongatjoe6493]

Has someone that video???

[@mostlyme9828]

Jesslin Tjong A Tjoe Apparently someone did film the curtain call and speeches and said they would post it on YT, but they obviously haven't yet and I don't know who they were. But let's just hope they do! I was there, obviously, but I'd love to have a video of the speeches!

[@nvnhjkennd]

MostlyMe Ow that's so cool! I really hope it will be on YT soon!

[@emmah.9356]

MostlyMe I hope you have reason. I am waiting for the video.
