bwayfan4life, I have to disagree about the voice of Michelle Williams not being strong enough for the title role in "Aida."

While her tone sounded a bit too young and her acting was a bit too restrained, I thought her vocals as a whole were quite on point. She even hit the big high note in "Dance of the Robe," which alot of actresses post-Heather couldn't do.

Although she wasn't a revelation in the role, I think she deserved alot more credit than she got.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
