    "At first it's really upsetting, and then you start to wear it like a badge of honor" Basically Elphaba's character development.

    Harmonizer yeah but she kind of stops caring. People always tried to shame her. I don’t think she is ashamed at all in the end. She knows she has passed on her fight and gets to walk away with her head held high.

    It's probably because Elphaba is such a demanding role, and your voice is worn out really easily doing a show 8+ times a week... Since the ensemble is a smaller role than Elphie, the cast most likely isn't belting like she is.. The voice is so fragile, and it's hard to be belting every night and keep your voice in shape..

    I love how dedicated they are to keeping their voices healthy. I've performed with people who will arrive to the hour-call and not have warmed up, coffee in hand, not giving a damn since they think downing a bottle of water will make it all okay. Lindsay, Derek and everyone else has to be in tip-top shape. Kudos and props to them!

I think it was Jared Getner who called it "Magic Singing Pills." Andrew Rannells said he was mildly addicted to it. W/Evs. I am in awe of all of these brilliant B'Way performers.
