She is talented. That is that. She's brilliant, however a broadway performer--she is not. At least she hasn't proven it. She can give one hell of a performance, but if she got tumors on her vocal chords after only a few weeks in the role, she simply doesn't know how to use her voice. Also, in the interview she states exhaustion and grueling schedules that led to her sickness. This is just an excuse. Thousands of performers are tackling roles just as physically and emotionally demanding as hers 8 and even now 9 performances a week. There is no excuse for missing 50 performances citing exhaustion. Her nodes also would have been preventable if her vocal coach properly taught her how to sing. Evidence A:
