February 2nd is Broadway beltress Ms. Eden Espinosa's birthday!
Where do we begin?! Eden has provided riffs and legendary belting moments for the ages in her Broadway engagements as the title character in Brooklyn, Maureen in RENT and of course one of Broadway's iconic leading ladies Elphaba in Wicked.
For example:
"The Wizard and I"
"I'm Not That Girl"
"Defying Gravity"
"No Good Deed"
"For Good" with Megan Hilty
Recently, Eden played the showstopping role of Trina on the national tour of Falsettos. We cannot wait to see the next show we see her shine bright in. Until then, let's rewind and enjoy clips where Eden has interpreted nine musical theatre favorites!
"Once Upon A Time" from Brooklyn
"Never Enough" from The Greatest Showman
"Midnight Radio" / "I'm Going Home" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch / The Rocky Horror Show
"Meadowlark" from The Baker's Wife
"A Pharaoh Story" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
"I Will Never Leave You" with Bonnie Milligan from Side Show
"Take Me or Leave Me" from Rent
"Holding To The Ground" from Falsettos
"You Oughta Know" from Jagged Little Pill
BONUS!: We couldn't NOT include this UNBELIEVABLE belting moment from the phenomenal Actors Fund cast album of HAIR. What Eden sings in "Hippie Life" from 1:29 - 2:10 is other worldly making her mark in the belting stratosphere! At one point she's just belting high G's and even a high Bb. Star!
