Didn't Marla Schaffel play Evita? She's a soprano (or at least she was asked to be in PotO so I'm guessing she is).

Barnaby151: IMO, Karen Olivo's belt is strained. Her vibrato is choppy when she sings those notes, which indicates to me a lack of support. I'm not sure she's really meant to be a belter.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Karen is too dark and voluptuous -- she's the quintessential Latina! Though Eva was dark-eyed (as someone pointed out), she was renowned for her alabaster skin. That's why blond hair didn't look ridiculous on her. In fact, a lot of Argentines tend to be fair and have caucasian features (i.e. Josefina Scaglione).

Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Winston, if Hav can belt, then she can belt. And I know that she can do a broad range of things, not just classical. Actually, one of her friends said that she could see her in the role too, well, two of her friends.

I don't know about Stillwell in particular but I do know that I have heard singers who were trained classically as sopranos and while they could belt it was a much softer tone compared to one who was trained in just belting.

I do know that Haviland did/still does post on here. If she did I would ask her about this myself via a PM and provided that I knew her username.
