Ashley Brown makes me want to see this show again. Especially after it was ruined for me when I saw Christy Carlson Romano.

She is pretty impresive. I would love to see her do the role. I'm just sad she didn't go for the high note in "change in me" that she did in On the Record.

I saw the show Saturday night, and Ashley Brown was terrific - even better than on the video, which is great as well. Anyone who is a fan of this show should try to see it now with Ashley as Belle - I fell in love with it all over again because of her interpretation.

Does she sing A Change in Me on the On the Record CD???

At Broadway on Broadway they were giving out sampler CDs of her singing "A Change In Me", "Part Of Your World", and "Reflection." She sounded amazing on all of them. I gave the CD to a friend of mine, though.

she has an BEAUTIFUL voice.

Wow she seems great. Why haven't I heard of her before? Is she young? For some reason I could see her as an awesome Elphaba, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, yeah she's really really really good.

She is fresh out of college.

Seeing that video makes me wish I lived in New York instead of Los Angeles. She's amazing. I got goosebumps from watching that video.

Still I gotta ask did anyone think that the Gaston in the video was crap? Shouting through "Me" doesn't make the song good. Charming your way through the song does.

while miss brown is amazing, her leading men leave something to be desired. steve blanchard seems kinda bored in his clip (especially since i'm used to terrance mann's version of that particular verse). And grant norman doesn't seem to sing too well.

She sounded awesome!!! I would love to see her in the role.
Could someone please PM me the sampler of her On the Record???
The Beast sounds great too...a little bit more 'pop' than 'legit' but I think he sounded great!!!

She sounds really great

She sounds really great. But I agree, the rest of the principles shown are lacking. Shame.

she was PHENOMINAL in the role, ive said it a thousand times already, so whats once more?!

Does anyone know if her contract is at least six months? IMHO, I think she has what it takes to be a strong contender for a nomination for Best Replacement..

Ashley is a phenominal performer (from the clips I have seen). I look forward to seeing her in a show. However, Grant Norman is MUCH better as THE BEAST. I saw him play the role on tour and I just dont think Gaston is for him.
