Chekc out the song Initials from the Hair concert CD. That song shows off her wonderful soprano and of course she can belt cus she was in wedding singer.
And Switz, Eden is a soprano there was an interview with her on playbill.com around the time of the Wicked LA opening. She said that she has a good soprano and can do the classical stuff easilly but all of the roles she has been cast in were pop belt.
