I saw Alicia as Bess the day before they made the press release about Audra's respiratory inflammation, and before they said anything about an alternate. She was definitely there vocally (although like stated above, her diction was shaky). Her acting was also extremely inconsistent, but she had good chemistry with Norm. The rape scene really wasn't connecting though. I'm also surprised they're adding her as an alternate this late into the run, but it makes sense.
