I have heard that Lucy Durack is the best actress in Australia
hahaha, would anyone here even know who she is? I enjoyed her in Wicked and Legally Blonde, but I am not convinced she can break the model of ditzy blonde girl and her voice seems to be very strained these days. When she sang "For Good" with Chenoweth at the Sydney Opera house, it was a little awkward to compare them.

So you "love" someone you've barely heard of and of whose work you are unfamiliar. I can see why'd you start this thread.

I saw her 4 times in Wicked when I still lived in Australia. I wouldn't say she's the best Australian actress, but she's pretty good. She kind of plays the same character the same way in each show, which can get tiring. And she was very nasally/overly perky as Glinda. There's not a lot of type fitting musical theatre actresses in Australia, but overall, she is one of the only well known ones.

She was awesome in Legally Blonde, and just okay in Wicked.. she hasn't really displayed any 'range' of acting in the shows she has been in. Far from the best actress in Australia I'm afraid.
Can't stand her, I'll skip seeing a show if she is in it.
