Ashley has a phenomenal voice, but I was less than impressed by her somewhat one-note acting and thought she was way too young for the role, at least as it's been written for Broadway. Satine in the musical is supposed to be a veteran star of the Moulin Rouge, someone definitely leaning slightly older, someone who "can't keep singing and dancing forever." Karen and Natalie being in their 40s fit it perfectly. Ashley just felt far too young to me. Girl can sing her face off though!
