My Take
Stephanie J. Block represents, for me, the unglamorous greatness of Broadway. Born in Brea, California in 1972, she debuted in 2003 originating Liza Minnelli in The Boy from Oz, and she was the first actress to play Elphaba on Wicked's U.S. national tour. That makes her a kind of pathfinder, the one who maps a role before it becomes iconic. I'm consistently more moved by stage performers than by film stars, because they have to deliver completely, every single night, with no second takes. Block's combination of meticulous craft and enormous voice is the real, durable thing.
