I believe she was a former Christine in Phantom. To answer your question though, I think she sings the theatre cat song, and quite lovely in the current revival.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Wasn't she also in the revival of Night Music for awhile, and had to return to the show for one night while she was in Phantom because Night Music ran out of understudies?

If only someone would collect information like this and make it readily available to anyone with an internet connection.

Apologies if any offense was taken, it was meant to be light-hearted. I should have added one of these or something -->  ;-D

Coincidentally enough, the BWW entry for her does list her Fantasticks credit, but IBDB was favored by Google. 

Anyway, I enjoyed her performance in Cats and wish her well.

I didn't know she was the real-life wife of Dr. Pomatter. That's pretty cool.

I hear the show every night, I am the Concessions manager at The Simon. Wow. Wow. Wow. The voices in this revival are so gorgeous it's a thrill to hear this show night after night. 

(When a revival is this fantastic, it makes my job very easy because when the crowd loves the show they are really fun to serve.) 

I predict a really lovely holiday season at CATS this year!

It seems I have no luck at all getting to see her perform live, Tried to see her in Phantom 3 times and got the alternate each time, now with cats, she will be gone by the time I see the show.

That part was more or less wasted since they cut Growltiger's Last Stand.

So true. The only other redeeming quality is her high note at the end of "Rum Tum Tugger."
