The Evolution of Jemma Rix - "Defying Gravity"

Jemma Rix is one of Wicked’s longest-serving cast members, performing the role of Elphaba over 1000 times in 5 different countries for nearly 10 years. Beginning her Wicked career in a condensed version of the show at Universal Studios in Japan, she later went on to become the official stand-by in the first Australian production of Wicked before taking over as lead. This video is intended to showcase Jemma’s powerhouse rendition of “Defying Gravity”, highlighting nine of her best performances between 2006 and 2015, proving just how consistent and vocally strong she has remained over the years and how her vocal riffs and belt have developed over time. I don’t doubt that she’ll be asked to revive her performance again one day. One of the best Elphaba’s ever!

UPDATE: This is the ORIGINAL "Evolution of Elphaba" video! It seems I've started a trend by creating this video... there are now several "Evolution" videos appearing on YouTube by other users, including compilations for Willemijn Verkaik, Kerry Ellis, Idina Menzel and Stephanie Block. Check 'em out!
