Stephanie J. Block still has the goods! Singing both I'm Not That Girl and Defying Gravity at a benefit concert at 54 Below night club, November 14, 2015.
The first n greatest elfba ! She brought her soul to this role. She should have been given it to open on Broadway. Stephanie is brillant her strength pitch consistency is unbelievable !
Her voice is so technically perfect and precise. I know it's not everyone's favorite, but seriously I wish my voice had that kind of discipline and control. It's so clean and natural. No, she doesn't do any real riffs or improvisations, but I can always still tell it's her voice.
One1Critic I think SJB got a better role to portray as Liza with Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz & she got to record the soundtrack :) She should have won the Tony instead of Idina though.
No need to put Idina down in order to lift Stephanie up. Idina still made Elphaba what the role is today so deserves at least some respect - even if her voice isn’t to your taste. You also don’t win a Tony Award if your performance was not good. Stephanie is incredibly talented but I saw Idina in Wicked and can confirm her voice sounds 100 times better live than it does on bootlegs. She blew the roof off.
Where's that high note everyone talks about? Well, not everyone, but Seth Rudetsky said that in the video he did with Mandy Gonzalez and I've been watching performance after performance of this song and I haven't found it yet.
It's the low note he mentioned, he changed it so it ended on a high note. That note, however, is not in this performance. SJB changed it to segway into Defying Gravity!
In the words of Seth Rudetsky: STILL GOT IT
I love how she took away the microphone and she was still just as loud basically!! She's amazing!
I know I know! The flex of it all.
How on EARTH could a being like Stephanie ever be topped in anything she does?! Especially that segway into defying gravity!

alvin medina I think she got a much better role playing Liza Minnelli starring with Hugh Jackman & Isabel Keating
@@pabloluisperez5265 that's interesting . Ijust feel she brought so much to this role. thank you
Today is 10 years since I first saw wicked, on tour in Tampa with SJB as my elphaba. That day truly changed the shape of my life!

I wish they could release a live album of her concert. She's amazing
Anyone else crying? I love her so much!
definitely not crying **wink wink** I can't with stephanie
That 'from' riff is fantastic! Brilliant performance from SJB, as always.
Stephanie still has it! Slay momma!
THOSE NOTES AT THE END GIVE ME CHILLS E V E R Y T I M E
Friggin amazing....it's too bad Idina got more of the spotlight with this role. Stephanie's voice is far more incredible.
