I agree. Some of my family was in from out of town and wanted to see Wicked, so we were lucky enough to schedule it right in line with Jessica's first performance. She was sensational. One of the best Elphabas in a long time. She left chills up and down my spine with her big three numbers, and her characterization was spot on.
For the summer, Wicked is running Monday shows and no Sunday shows, for the most part. I'm assuming that's to grab any tourists/out of towners who come to NYC for the week, and who want to see something on a day when most theaters are dark.

I haven’t seen her, but I know many who have and they unanimously agree she is the best Elphaba to come along in quite some time. Maybe ever. Her voice is stellar and she appears to be very humbled and grateful for such a monumental opportunity. I’m looking forward to seeing her in the role in a way I haven’t been since maybe Shoshana.
I saw her 34 times on the tour last year and I must say next to her last there she sounds better than ever here on the Broadway. I think she is one of the best ever to play the role and I'm very happy she is at the Gershwin now.
