- I put as many different portrayals here as I could. If a certain actor doesn't appear here I either couldn't find or didn't have audio/video of them singing the song, or they didn't perform the role until after the video was published.

I really wish a professional recording of this was on the soundtrack. I know it's short, but it's one of the best parts of the show.
they didnt put it on there because it gave up some key twists in the story.
@@theshadestartsnow9818 I mean... You can say that for every song for every soundtrack ever 😂🤷🏻♂️
Agreed, but it would give too much away for those that haven't seen the production.
I AGREE
@@theshadestartsnow9818 damn a twist in a musical.
It's cool to see how most of the actresses who play Elphaba now started off as the sister to everyone's favorite green outcast. :)
Danny's Domain I think it's the best way to test their skills to see if they are capable of tackling Elphaba. Because of Nessa's turnaround in the second act it's a great way to put their acting chops up to the test
Danny's Domain I think a lot of it has to do with hiring within. Not to mention that many have also covered/understudied Elphaba so they already know it
If you think about it, it's the best way to prove they have what it takes. Having an impressive set of pipes, and being witches lol
sorry but shreks my fav green outcast oops
Initially, it was definitely the best way to test the standby actress. However, as time went on, Playing elphaba on Broadway became so demanding that they needed time off and needed a standby strictly dedicated to only covering that character.
Still bitter that this wasn't on the CD (yeah, spoilers, but still it's one of my favorite songs in the show. The part where she's singing while Elphie is chanting still gives me chills.
Agreed :(
Catherine Charlebois (15:57) is my ultimate favorite. God, I absolutely love the cast from that performance: Donna Vivino and Alli Mauzey never fail to amaze me 💕
Sofia Moreira I got to see Catherine on tour last night
Same here
Same
Catherine is also my favorite, probably because that was the first cast I saw of wicked
Same
Shoshana Bean as a nessarose was a beautiful thing because you really got to see her true Range. Playing Elphaba 7 nights a week for 2 years was definitely hard on her voice.
Original Lyrics: Save him, please just save him, my poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him. I remember how he held me at the dance. And no matter what his crime, if I could, I'd turn back time! Is there a chance, Elphaba? With one of your chants?
The original was more about nessas love for boq, they changed it to focus on the relationship of the sisters and why boq is so important to nessas life.
I like the changed better because I get CHILLS everytime one of them sings "Wicked witch of the east" UGH
Also the “chance/chants” rhyme is sort of terrible.
Shoshana Bean stands out because this was a moment you could hear Nessas softness. The love she had.
I'm surprised not more people are mentioning Shoshana. Such a good rendition with so much range.

3. Deedee Magno Hall
4. Marcie Dodd
True
Jacob DePalma mood and 100% agree
I saw Dee Dee as Nessarose 4 times in San Francisco. Unforgettable
Michelle Federer and Shoshana Bean. Surprisingly, they outlined the 2 sounds of nessa. The real belty evil witch vs the soft belt angry in love witch. The irony that Shoshana was one of the best Elphabas and Nessas. Chilling
I literally had no idea Eden Espinosa was Nessarose before she was Elphaba
When Elphaba and Nessa start singing it gives me chills.
My favourites
1) Catherine Charlebois!!!! 15:57
2)Caroline Kieff 6:12
3) Deedee magno 8:56
4) Zarah Mahler 17:29
5) Emily Behny 21:09
I honestly just love listening this for the different languages and harmonies. Also, let's appreciate how many of these Willemijn is in.
yes!
...did I really just sit through this? Yes, yes I did. IT'S JUST THAT EPIC OMG THE CYMBAL ROLL THE CHANTING THE DESPERATION AAAAAAAAAAAA
I've seen Wicked two times and The Wicked Witch of The East is one of my favorite scores, and I'm upset that it's not on the soundtrack but I understand why it isnt.
Deedee Magno Hall was probably my favorite one. She did amazing!
Catherine Charlebois also did amazing!
Forever mad that this isn’t on the official CD
My god that San Fran tryout costume tho
Thank you so much for this! I feel like the awesome actresses who play Nessa don't get the attention they deserve :(
All these actresses are amazing. Another Nessa actress who does a brilliant job with this song is the current West End Nessa, Rosa O'Reilly. Her voice in this song gave me chills. Nessa is one of the more underrated characters in Wicked, but I think she is one of the best characters in the whole show and one of my favourite characters.
Catherine Charlebois is my favorite! She really hits that Wicked Witch of the East moment.
Pearl = Wicked Witch of the East theory confirmed.
What theory? And how does this make it confirmed?
@@justess797 i think... its a joke
@@nobodyofknowhere973 I think... I asked about a theory I don't know about, cause I dont know who Pearl is
the actress at 8:56 is the voice of a character named pearl on some cartoon
FAVORITES: Michelle Federer, Eden Espinosa, Shoshana Bean, Jenna Leigh Green, Marcie Dodd, Maike Switzer, Caroline Keiff, Lanie Sumalinog, Lillie Flynn, Catherine Charlebois, Zarah Mahler, Arielle Jacobs
deedee magno hall says hi
Marcie Dodd (4:34) is my favorite. I haven't heated of her, but she times the emotions and impulses so perfectly.
Jenna Leigh Green will always be my favourite Nessarose 🥰
Fun Fact: The woman at 8:56, Deedee Magno Hall voices Pearl on Steven Universe.
Yep!!!! I was hoping some people would know that. Sardonyx's voice actress played Elphaba too.
Korden Caden that’s bird mom
DEEDEE MAGNO HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!I NEVER KNEW SHE WAS NESSA!
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices Rebecca Sugar wanted her for Pearl because of this role!
I can hear it now!
Everyone is sleeping on Marisol from the Mexico City production. I love her lower, rich tone!
Catherine Charlesbois, Carina Gillespie, and Arielle Jacobs are my favorites!
Love some, of those early rare clips. Eden actually went on a fair number of times as Nessa. She performed as Nessa publicly months before debuting as Elphaba, and actually went on at Jennifer Laura Thompson's second show in July 2004 and her last day in the company (for the first time) in September 2004. I'm not a huge fan of Nessa as the character but I do,consider myself tremendously lucky to have seen both Eden Espinosa (twice) and Shsohana Bean in the role
Came back after three years just for Deedee Magno Hall
16:59 Jill Kates. I love the way she says wicked witch
DeeDee will always be my favorite Nessarose for a couple reasons.
1. Its DeeDee. Extremely talented
2. PORL
Catherine Charlebois is pretty amazing too
Also Michelle cus she’s the original and was so dedicated to the role
Pearl the rebel agreed
I was lucky enough to see Jenna Leigh Green live and she was perfection.
Fun Fact did you know that Nessa’s black dress originally belonged to Glinda for Dr. Dillamond’s ‘Funeral’ scene? The scene was ultimately cut after the SF Tryout
I love the San Fran Tryout costume
The only reason I'm watching this is so I can get a feel of how the other Nessarose actresses performed the part so I can embrace MY unique version of Nessarose, since I may be leaving in 2-3 years(once I'm officially professional) to audition for the "tragically beautiful" girl in the wheelchair.
sooo did you audition?
Each like is a round of applause for Catherine Charlebois 👏👏👏👏
So shoshana’s debut in wicked was actually as nessa? Wow I didn’t know that
i find it absolutely HILARIOUS how libby from sabrina the teenage witch (jenna leigh green) was calling sabrina a freak back in the 90's but now she's a witch LMAO the irony hurts
Michelle Nedboy she was both
Jenna Leigh Green is hands down my favorite !
Oh my god!! Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this!! you have no idea how MUCH I've wanted a Cristy Candler audio, this is amazing!
Thank you for putting together an amazing video that shows the power of people to try and ultimately succeed.
Some of these Nessaroses have been Belle!
19:01 Lee Yea-Eun
I saw Natalie Richardson as Nessarose in London back in July of 2009! She was my first Nessarose and she was amazing at the role! I didn’t meet her though. Emily Ferranti was my second and third Nessarose! She was great too and I got to meet her. She was so sweet!
One of my favorite songs. Thanks for putting this. ❤️
Michelle Federer slays 👌
If you could combine Marcie’s singing with Caroline’s acting, you’d have a perfect performance.
Katie Rowley Jones is my fav
I love Natalie Anderson. She was my very first Nessa and I loved her. I absolutely loved her rendition of this song. Don't gt me wrong, all of these Nessa actresses are amazing in their own way but I have a particular soft spot for Natalie Anderson and Catherine Charlebois as they were my first West End and Broadway Nessas respectively.
Heidi Kettenring was so amazing. I love how she rushed “each other” at the end like she was so overcome with emotion and exhaustion. It was the perfect denouement and I wish the song was written that way, to be honest.
I spent so long with the bootleg online of the show with catherine charlebois that when I did get to see wicked on west end while living in the uk, the nessa actress was a letdown and one of my favorite parts of the show felt anticlimactic
I saw Katie Rowley Jones back in 2014 (4 years ago!!! I feel so old) and it's strangely nostalgic to hear her singing Nessarose again. She was my favourite in the show and she's still one of my biggest inspirations
They are all Amazing but the emotion in Lillie Flynn's voice (14:53) is spot on 😢
Laurel's nearly made me cry.
Wow, i saw wicked on tour in 2011 and then I saw Laurel Harris as Elphaba a few years later, i may have seen her as both witches!
After really thinking about it here are my favorites (in no particular order)
Arielle Jacobs
Nicole Radesching (almost made me cry)
Jennifer Waldman
Philippa Buxton
Carina Gillespie
Lillie Flynn
Theano Makariou
Maike Switzer (mindblowing, how was she only an understudy!!?)
Eden Espinosa
Jenna Leigh Green (HER VOCALS OMG)
Michelle Federer
Yamamoto Takae (not the best vocally in my opinion but her astounding acting makes up for it)
Shoshana Bean
Gemma Atkins
Cassie Compton (she was the first Nessa I ever watched so I have a soft spot for her)
Marcie Dodd (made me actually shed a tear)
Janine Tippl
Jenny Florkowski
Lauren Haughton
Stevie Tate-Bauer (her acting is A+)
Christanne de Brujin
Jillian Kates
Natasha Ferguson
Jamie Rosenstein (took some time to get used to but now I really like her)
I loved Nicole Radeschnig and Arielle Jacobs too. They're so amazing. After watching this video, I'm having a hard time picking my favourite out of all of them.
I have a preference for Heidi Kettering, just because I went to see that show live.
It's quite funny how Katie has played Nessa in 2007, and left in 2017. (with breaks in of course.)
I find it amazing how some of them were also Elphaba in, I am guessing, later productions
my favs not in order!
the PASSION, ANGER, GRIEF all of it while giving vocals
6:14 Caroline Keiff
8:56 DeeDee Magno
14:57 Lillie Flynn
15:57 Catherine Charlebois
17:04 Jillian Kates
19:02 Lee Yea-Eun
Dang Janna Yngwe was awesome!!
(And everyone else, especially the Germans)
Katie Rowley Jones is my #1 here
Heidi Kettenring is the bomb! You need to see more than this excerpt to get the entire range. Trust me, she is the real deal!
OMG Emily Behny is my friend! So happy to see a video of her :')
When the voice of Pearl was Nessa, and you never knew 🤣😓😓😓
A loooong time ago I downloaded this song on limewire. I wish I could find that version but I have no idea who sang it 😔 I’m 99% sure Idina was playing Elphaba though
Ok, but how would people feel about Auli'i Cravalho as Nessarose?
Pauly- Walnuts with Samantha Barks as Elphaba.
@@vglegorreta Samantha Barks and Auli'i Cravahlo in the same movie? That is something I would love to see. They should cast Sam as Elphaba and Auli'i as Nessa in the upcoming Wicked movie that's supposedly coming out in December this year
VV L i would love that but its a dream of mine to see Anna Kendrick play Nessa i think her voice is good for it and i loved it when she started yelling at Jaime in the last five years so i think she would do great at this and Dancing through life
Natasha ferguson , Jenny Florkowski, Arielle Jacobs, liana hunt are my favorite nessarose in wicked.
Thanks! Jenny is my daughter!
Also I had no idea how many future Elphabas played Nessa first (Eden, Shoshana, etc)
seeleyboothfan2 both comments of yours...it was like you were reading my mind.
Deedee! 💗💕💓
I met Natasha Ferguson today I was like OMG OMG ITS HER DONT CRY WHEN SHE SINGS DONT CRY
Can you do a comparison of 'you will not touch him' from Miss Saigon ?! :)
After watching this video several times, I only just noticed that out of all the German actresses who portrayed Nessa, in the live recordings, the only person's face you see clearly is Theano Makariou. All the others are either just the audios, or their faces are obscured by the stage lighting.
It's so funny because Willemijn is in like half of these 😂
I haven't listened to this composition in years, but I actually remembered 17 minutes some seconds in, ends abour 18 minutes with Zarah mayher? she is the bestest of the best! true story
Marcie Dodd!!!
Yes omg
Michelle Federer was also on Broadway. She was the original. She's on the album
Liana Hunt at 24:11 is definitely my favorite, though admittedly I’m partial to her because of Newsies
It be great if there were pictures of Eden and Shoshana in Nessa costumes. How fun that’d be to see.
Wow Marci Dodd is almost as good as Michelle Federer..
And I had no idea Ariel Jacobs (23:40) played Nessa as well...! I love her, she's perfect for the role.
caroline keiff...i have been bLESSED
Marisol Meneses is my favorite! I wish she had played Elphaba as well.
I am trying to find the actress who played Nessarose Idk what year but Katie Rose Clark was Galinda and Donna Vivino (I can't spell sorry!!) As Elphie that cast was exceptional and I loved Nessa and want to learn the scene maybe, even though I can't sing lol
8:56
DEEDEEEEE
Hi can you make a new one with more of the Nessaroses after September 2015 please I llove this video
Did anyone else notice that Stevie Tate-Bauer's one sounded exactly like Cassie Compton. I had to listen to it several times before I realised. If you listen carefully to Stevie's one, and then Cassie's one, you'll notice that the voice and the riffs are exactly the same. It might just be me but I think they used the same recording twice for those two actresses.
They did actually sound similar, I think that maybe Stevie was directed to sing like Cassie because I can hear some differences in their voices. But it might be like you said that in both clips it's Cassie, guess we'll probably never know
Well, I do know that Stevie was Cassie's understudy. But I have heard clips of Stevie singing and it didn't sound like the clip in the video. I've seen Cassie live and she sounded exactly like that. But you are right when you say they sound similar. But I am leaning slightly more to it being the same clip of Cassie twice. But hey, it is simply a matter of opinion.
Okay I belive you now. Huh that's weird
+Musical fanatic What's weird?
Idk that it's both cassie. I'm tired and it's probably not that weird really but yeah
Okay Lee Yea-Eun from the OG Seol cast absolutely killed the “we deserve each other” section (beginning 19:01). That is all.
I forgot the San Francisco one had different words
0:53 any range led ever after fans !!
Ok Libby!!
Zarah Mahler just made some videos for CZcams of her original songs, different to this, but still great stuff.
Eden Espinosa was an understudy for Nessa???! And Shoshana too????!!
Andrea Rivette i know i was SHOOK when i read that!?!!
Deedee Magno Hall is always just known as Pearl, but she was Nessa too?!?
I’d love to see an Alison Luff cover of tgis
6.00 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My favourite nessarose was shoshana bean
YALL SLEEPING ON LIANA OMG
2014 위키드 한국어 초연- 네사로즈 이예은 19:02
그런데 이 영상 밀녹 아닌가요?
I like the San Francisco Tryout lyrics better, if they could have combined that with the final broadway lyric. Would have been great
Broadway_Blonde12 true
Just a cool fact Michelle Federer the original Nessarose went to my college. :)
