There will never be a better Elphaba! 💚

This is one of the most commanding performances I've ever seen in musical theater.

She is unreal! Although she will probably already be sick of playing this role I still hope for a chance to see her in Wicked😂❤❤

She really is the very best. I wish I lived in a city where I could have had the privilege of seeing her perform live.

[msfuegoyluz]

I was so excited to see Wicked when I went but was concerned as I love Idina and wasn’t sure how I would feel about this Elphaba. Well it was Willemijn and WOW! I am sooo lucky I got to see her perform live!!!

[ellenstam-mulder]

Willemijn ik bewonder je, je heb een droom van een stem en je zet je rol zo goed neer. In al die jaren ben je steeds beter geworden.

i have seen you in a think in 2013 in the netherlands.
Willemijn I admire you, you have a dream of a voice and you set your role so well. In all those years you have become better and better.

[batmousy]

I really dont think that it can get better than this. She is perfect

[ajstrauss]

How crazy powerul did she chush the final note. Wow

[CinderellaPrinceable]

How anyone can be this awesome is beyond me

[BrmaikelrR]

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change but 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

Unlimited (unlimited)
My future is (future is) unlimited (unlimited)
And I've just had a vision
Almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday I'll be...

Flying so high! (defying gravity)
Kiss me goodbye! (defying gravity)

So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately,
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
and if I"m flying solo
at least I'm flying free
to those who"d ground me
take massage back from me
tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high defying gravity
and soon I'LL match them in renown
and nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
is ever gonna bring me down

I'm defying gravity!
And you won't bring me down, bring me down, bring me down!
Ah, ah [echo]

[Jukka]

Just amazing, and I agree the best to do it.
