WICKED TOUR CAST PRAISE

February 10, 2008

Carmen Cusack has enormous presence as Elphaba, a complicated young woman, part warrior and part vulnerable girl. Her singing voice is powerful and expressive. Katie Rose Clarke is appealingly giddy as Glinda, and her performance strengthens as her character becomes torn between conflicting loyalties and ambitions. As the ambiguous and fraudulent wizard, Canton's own Lee Wilkof delivers his solo number, ''Wonderful,'' with the confident ease of a Broadway veteran (which he is).

Dec 2007 From St. Louis Today: Elphaba is a remarkable heroine — smart, talented and green. Actress Carmen Cusack also blesses her with a glorious voice, soaring through big numbers like "Defying Gravity" and "No Good Deed" as fluidly as if the songs were coming to her on the spot. When we first encounter Elphaba, a warm-hearted social outcast, she's entering magic college. Her roommate, another aspiring witch, is the lovely blonde Glinda (Katie Rose Clarke).

In her signature song, "Popular," Clarke delivers Schwartz's witty lyrics with a self-satisfied bounce that's hilarious. Traditionally, pretty girls don't get to be funny on stage. Thanks to shows like "Wicked" and "Legally Blonde," maybe that's changing. Clarke sings beautifully, too, and so does Alma Cuervo, who plays the snooty teacher, Madame Morrible.
