Leslie Henstock CD: "Defying Gravity"

Has anyone heard her CD? She's played Cossette on the "Les Miz" tour. It's a nice mix of Broadway and pop. She does a beautiful version of Jerome Moross' "Windflowers" and a knockout version of Jason Robert Brown's "I Can Do Better Than That" from L5Y!! I finally got to hear "Defying Gravity" and she rocks out on it. It's so great to hear a legitimate soprano with a belt to her!!

She's playing Cosette right now, actually. She's a wonderfully powerful Cosette, and her CD is amazing. I don't usually gush, but the selections as well as the performances are...I'm out of words! Just buy it. :)

I've been playing tracks from the CD on Maximum Broadway Radio since February. It's a solid disc with some great performances. My 2 favorite tracks are actually the pop songs, "Time After Time" and "I Can't Make You Love Me." I really like Leslie's ability to sing the simpler quiet parts of songs that so many overlook while focusing on the big show-stopping notes.

Samples of most of the tracks are available on Leslie's web site which I believe is the only place the CD is on sale.
