    Her voice before Millie is good, but her voice after Millie (and today) is SENSATIONAL! Before Millie, her high notes are very pushed chest and she really struggles with the Les Mis low notes. But whatever she did to prepare for Millie, and whatever vocal coach she worked with, did a stunning job! By the time of Anything Goes she's a real broadway beltress!

      Before Millie she had absolutely no training, she began having lessons in preparation for the Millie. Her teacher is/was the legendary Joan Lader, who won an honorary Tony for the very effective technique she teaches.

      I guess "that" tone quality is what's needed for Broadway but when she "belts" it's just sooo harsh and I'm looking for ear plugs. However, listening to some of these vignettes, there were songs when she was singing more softly/gently and she did have an enjoyable tone quality.

    She's so good I almost hate her....almost. She's so adorable, just look at her face, her expressions are pure gold. I think she really shines as Janet and Reno, the songs gave her a lot of opportunity to play around.

When I booked my tickets, I did not know at that point who she was. Phew!
