Hot Take: I don’t find her all that appealing vocally. Shes fine but doesn’t knock my socks off. I take issue with her nomination for RAGTIME in the way I did for Joy Woods in GYPSY.
I would actually pay a mint to see Stephanie Hsu as Audrey. She just played the kewpie doll ingenue in ROCKY HORROR and has killer comedic instinct"
Yeah, Lewis didn't impress me much in RAGTIME either, but she seemed the most likely person who fits the hypothetical descriptor ("up-and-coming recent Tony nominee"). I'd love to see Hsu at some point, but I believe she has film a TV commitments. Christiani Pitts would be great too, and given the recent grosses for TWO STRANGERS, I'm guessing she'll be available soon...
