Having seen her in the role, I can tell you this is the strongest part of her performance.

Odd that she opted for a lower ending note in this performance, though. Updated On: 12/20/10 at 07:19 PM

Seeing Mamma Mia soon just to see her. She sounds great. Agreed adamgreer about the last note, she must of been tired that day

I was underwhelmed by that entire thing.

As sad as I would be to see her go into a crappy show like Mamma Mia, I would love to see Jessica Phillips take a crack at this song.

Still prefer Carolee Carmello.

No one can touch Carolee, ever. She elevated that POS show to Shakespearean levels.

it seemed a very flat performance!!!!
i think BETH LEVAL was by far the best donna ever

This is miles better than her Elphaba.

Love her... but I still prefer her Elphaba (from what I can hear).

She still may get me back to this show, though.

Lisa does an EXCELLENT job in the role, and she knocks this song out of the park live.

just got back from seeing her in MM and all i can say was i never expected to be board at the show. Her performance lacked so much not just in vocal strength or breath control but she seemed to just walk through it. no choices no nothing. Ive seen her in other things and i just dont think this is the part for her. After seeing Beth Level last year who is an amazing actor i was sad when i left tonight

Dee Hoty ...saw her 3x on the road before she went to NYC
She should have opened the show in NYC

I saw the show recently (after getting tickets like 5 minutes before the show) and was actually very impressed by Brescia. The other Donnas I've seen have lacked the pop voice I like to hear singing those songs. I really like what Brescia did with the role, and her Winner Takes It All was indeed very impressive to me live.

I really enjoyed her performance as Amneris in AIDA but what's up with her not singing up a third for the last note? Weird. That's easily in her range.

^ She does live in the show.

And to great effect. The audience went nuts when she did.
