Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:20pmHas anyone seen her in Phantom? I am dying to, but I saw it not too long ago (with Rebecca Pitcher), So I will just have to satisfy myself with peoples' reviews.
Arghh! Grammar pet peeve #1: your vs you're. "Your" is a possessive pronoun. "You're" is the contraction of "you are."

Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:33pmAlthough not a fan of this long runner musical, I had to see the amazing and talented Jennifer Hope Wills(Wonderful Town, The Woman in White, The Beauty and the Beast), Jennifer reminded me of Sarah Brightman as Christine and the show was very enjoyable. Wills hits all the notes the charachter requires to, but she also is an excellent actress, unlike many other Christines. Now I like "Phantom".

Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:37pmYay muscle! She is sooo awesome on that wonderful town clip you sent me!
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:51pmhaha, it was a song from Wonderful Town, not a clip. You can buy the CD anywhere. There is also a clip of Wonderful Town that features JHW on http://www.broadway.com/gen/Buzz_Video.aspx?ci=501490

That's fine, thanks muscle
She reminds you of Sarah?! Now I have to see her (yes I love Sarah in the OLC recording). How so, do their voices sound alike, or did her style just remind you of Sarah's? (though I am glad to hear JHW can act well)

Posted: 5/11/06 at 10:37pmShe has a great voice, but above her amazing voice and technique, she is a great ACTRESS and although she says she is not a professional dancer, she can really dance!

I can't wait to see her interpretation this summer! From what I hear...JHW is fantastic as Christine. :)

I saw her in Phantom a couple of weeks ago. She was fantastic.
I was actually surprised how good of shape the entire production is.

Posted: 1/3/07 at 11:17pmSo I saw Phantom this afternoon (first time my mom and sister saw it), and I just had to say I've seen quite a few Christines on stage (the only one I've actually really liked was Julie Hanson), but without a doubt, Jennifer Hope Willis was the best Christine I've ever seen. She had a gorgeous voice, reached great high notes, did not go overboard on the vibrato...I bought her youth, and just bought everything she brought to the part. My mom and sister thought she was great as well. Bravo to her!
