Posted: 12/19/04 at 7:51pmI saw BATB today and she was fantastic. The entire show was in perfect shape which is a feat for a show that has been running for 11 years. If you get a chance, go see her in it - she's magical.
She's tall enough to be your mother

I saw her understudy for Penny in Hairspray and I have to agree that the woman is fantastic

Posted: 12/19/04 at 8:00pmI tried to get tickets for yesterday's matinee but all that remained were single seats which my mother and I didn't want. I ended up seeing Wonderful Town. Eventually, I'll see BATB. It's my all time favorite Disney movie ever and I've always wanted to be Belle ever since I was little. I was her for Halloween like 5 times! :)
