December 6, 2014 - 1st National Tour - San Diego, CA Civic Theatre

Stephanie is such a great Elphaba. She was on for Emma Hunton, who was sick. I think she herself had something because she struggled with some higher notes and cracked in Defying Gravity. That being said, she wasn’t phased at all by it and continued to give a powerhouse performance! Really awesome on her part.

November 15, 2014 - 1st National Tour - San Diego, CA Civic Theatre

I really LOVED Emma as Elphaba! Best actress I've seen in the role. So many small nuances in her choices that really brought a completely different feel to the character that I hadn't seen before. Her voice worked so well with the score. Her transitions from soft moments like the beginning of this song to the end were flawless.
