I saw Lisa in "Phantom" on Broadway the first week she started in the role. She blew the roof off and gave me chills through the whole show.
She had done the role many times around the country but this was her first week as Broadway's Christine.
It made so much more sense having the character sing that well. You really got the reason for Carlotta being so nervous and threatened with her "diva" status.
Anyone who has an opportunity to see her in this part, do it! Even if the rest of the production is sagging (which this one was), she alone is worth the price of the ticket.
Oh, and if you can't see her live, check out her performance as Johanna on the "Sweeney Todd in Concert" DVD with LuPone.
