I saw her as Mrs. Walker in "The Who's Tommy" twice and the Les Miz producers saw her and snatched her up to tour as Fantine. Next thing she is replacing Judy Kuhn for Sunset Blvd. She started on the fast track. So well deserved!

I found it quiet amusing (and very well done) seeing Heather Jane do Gingy and Mama Bear. It was a like a psychotic switch. She totally changed her voice characters perfectly and was fun to watch her go from one character to the next in 2 seconds. Very well done.
There were only 2 dragonettes (singing) and not many on the tale. They handled it well!

Her "Tell Me on a Sunday" in DC was 90 minutes of a nonstop mix of heavy belting and her gorgeous head voice. She held he own beautifully through that show and countless others. I do agree, her acting of a song is is strong suit. Just watching her, no matter what is coming out of her mouth, is worth the price of admission.
Just a brilliant performer all around!

Ok, I tried the lotto for the first time this afternoon. I have heard all the posts about it being rigged and a shrugged it off. I am not going to say it is rigged, but it is VERY shady!!
Who doesn't pull names out in front of the group of people? Why do you have to go back in the lobby to do it? It was funny that a groups of mid-twenties guys all won 4 out of the 9 names called. I am not one to accuse, but it was very odd!
Any feelings?

saw her many times. She was very gritty. She also was one of the few Fantine's I have seen that brought herself to tears during "I Dreamed a Dream." She was a quite movie and looked amazing!

they are always doing group extra casting for all the Law & Orders. Check backstage or online. They happen at least every 6 - 8 weeks!
Bets of luck!

I was at today's matinee (Sunday 4/12) and Haven was on. I am a big fan of hers. From Maureen, to Elle and Margot and adore her Gingy. Her riffing in "Donkey Pot Pie" was a highlight for me.
Her Fiona was good, but not remarkable. She lacked the presence and assurance of the character. She sounded great, but there was only one riff. I would say just an average performance. I wanted so much more from her. Her tapping was good, she has improved from her Legally Blonde days.
There must have been a lot of female cast members out because there were only 2 dragonettes and no sugar plum fairy.
Just my opinion!
