Elphaba or Glinda in Wicked?

So... you get a phone call... you've passed the auditions... and have been offered the part of either Elphaba or Galinda. You get to choose. Which part do you take?!

Update:

I love the debate on this! Elphaba has better songs (sorry she does) and is the central character, but Glinda has better lines (I love the comedy of her character) and amazing costumes. Keep it coming!

    Glinda - more fun and i love the song popular which would be so funny to perform and I love her costumes so much. But I do love Elphaba too and her black act II dress is gorgeous but I think Glinda is more me.

    I would definitely have to say Galinda

    A lot of Elphaba's stuff is too low for me to be comofrotable with

    Plus Galinda has the BEST costumes!

    It's GAlinda, with a GA. Every other professor seems to be able to pronounce my name!

    Sorry, I just had to!

    Anyway, I adore both characters, but I adore Glinda's lines! Then again, I also love "Well, we can't all come and go by BUBBLE!" (Elphaba)

    But Glinda's costumes are just exquisite!

    Elphaba

    Even though, I think Galinda has more lines but Elphaba is considered the 'lead' beacuse the whole play is about her.

    Elphaba - Willemijn Verkaik (German) Glinda - Kristen Chenowarth. All the best :)

    I would pick Elphaba. Her songs are amazing and the role has more Drama. I meet the Original elphie and she said the role was so rewarding and amazing. I have wanted to be Elphaba my whole life since wicked came out when i was in 3rd grade. I want to be Elphie and sing her songs.

    I choose "Elphaba" Role. It has more dramatic role and the sympathic character. This character has more to ACT and get fame.

    Elphaba is the more dramatic role and eventually the more sympathic one. Of course you are green and that would be troublesome to apply that makeup each day. Margieanne
