The high F in 'Defying Gravity' is within the range of a standard alto, contralto, strong mezzo soprano, or soprano belter with a low range. Basically, Elphaba's vocal range is a little over 2 octaves. Each singer in the role of Elphaba brings her own range and her own singing voice [alto, contralto, mezzo soprano, etc.] to the part.
