She did an EXTRAORDINARY JOB for 'Michelle Williams'. We sure as he!l won't get to hear her sing like that on a Destiny's Child album...those shining moments are reserved for Beyonce.
Personally, I think far too many people go into this show wanting to compare the performers to previous performers - and you just can't do that. I think each individual should be looked at in their own light.

I saw her and she was just average. I loved the show but was not impressed by her performance.
Take care

Posted: 4/16/04 at 12:26pmSaw her understudy whose voice cracked too much (not only when she was singing neither). Her acting was average, her singing not any better.

For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Sadly, no. My Playbill is packed in storage with my collection.
It was a matinee show, there was an understudy for Radames as well (slightly better than average).
Saw AIDA with Heather Headley, Adam Pascal, and Sherie Renee Scott. The ultimate cast in my opinion. LOVED it. I will never forget that experience, made me sob and cry like a baby.
I absolutely HATE the Palace Theatre. I just cannot enjoy the show when those seats are too tight like that. I wouldn't have survived if I didn't have an aisle seat the second time and a front row seat the first time. Even standing up, there is no room.

I just recently discoverd that Michelle was in Aida. How very interesting...
oh, and papa, you are thinking of Michelle Williams of Dawson's Creek, this thread reffers to Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child.

Her voice doesn't seem like it would work. It just doesn't seem like it has enough power to carry a song like 'Easy As Life'. JMO

Posted: 6/27/05 at 3:53pmCapn- I'm guessing you saw Maya Days or Saycon Sengbloh.
#13re: re: re: re: re: re: re: re: michelle williams
Posted: 6/27/05 at 3:56pmMichelle's understudy was Saycon Sengbloh. I believe she also did matinees. Maya Days was long gone by the time Michelle joined the cast.
