I kept telling people how wonderful she was in the role. I had seen her in the role in Los Angeles and knew that it was going to be vocally taxing for her. I still thought she was fantastic in LA and in San Francisco.
Some of my friends didn't share the same enthusiasm:
"She was forming strange vowels that made her sound unusually British and by the time the end of the show rolled around she sounded like a British Bullfrog."
With a little mascara...all your dreams come true.
