The fact that someone, a student none the less could go and land one of the most vocally challenging principle roles in not only Broadway history, but of female parts a lone amazes me.

Oh, but she didn't, she's only doing Wicked.

Really? But Eyedine Minzelli did it...true, it was a challenge to listen to her vocals. You are right!

Caroline Thibodeaux was a vocally challenging role.

"I'm sure Donna will close the 1st tour."

It's not closing anytime soon as far as I know.

It does not "close" in July. I'm pretty sure that they just have not announced more dates.
