Well apparently she wasn't able to sing Penny every night...

If she was able to sing Penny every night...

HA, but she wasn't. Caissie often missed as Penny in Hairspray. When I did see her in the role, she was definitely pushing. I also caught her in Rent and Wicked; she's a wonderful actress, but not nearly the vocal divinity that provocation is making her out to be.

I thought she was absolutely amazing in Wicked. But that's just me.

Men don't even belt.

Her lower register is phenomenal! And if she worked on better placement in her upper register, she'd be unstoppable.

I know, right?

I can't believe Sasha Allen's finally making her Broadway debut... what took you producers so long?
