100% disagree. Does she belt it like elphaba? Of course not. But that’s okay. Not every role needs to be screamed. Especially Sondheim. I think she sounds amazing.
But more than that, they journey she takes you through. The acting, what she puts into it every night, the thought and nuance and choices are unmatched in any performance I have ever seen.
