Well, I am really glad that Joey Fatone is doing a fine job in our non-critical Broadway community, but what about Jessica-Snow Wilson? I haven't seen any big reviews about her performance. I know some people didn't like Kerry Butler's take on the role so is Jessica-Snow's any different of an interpretation, or just basically the same?
If there is already a thread about her, just point me to it, because I can't find one.

I saw her one night that Kerry was out sick. I thought she was very good. I liked her better than Kerry. She plays it more like Ellen Greene. And she doesnt kill the songs by trying to riff.

Her interpretation generally uses Kerry Butler's for it's template. However, she avoids a lot of Butler's mannerisms that got large laughs. She doesn't get quite the laughs of Butler but makes up for it with a rather sweeter and more sympathetic caracterization. Her singing is very good. All in all a very good performance.
I liked her better than Butler when I saw her back in February. I thought she made you care about Audrey more than Butler did and gave an excellent performance.
I didn't think she was as powerful as Kerry when she was singing but she was still effective. And I definitely think her approach to Audrey was more like Kerry's than Greene's. She didn't have an obnoxious lisp.
I saw her in the US national tour of Les Miz, she was Eponine. She was good but nothing really extrodinary.
I would love to see her as Audrey though, I think she'd be better suited for that role.
