Susan Spencer in Little Women

She's the standby for Jo. I haven't seen Kate Fisher, but judging on the small clip I saw of her, I preferred Susan's singing to Kate's. I know you can't fully judge by a clip you see, but yeah, anyways Susan's voice reminded me a bit of Sutton Foster's...anyone see Susan and Kate and prefer one over the other?

I saw both Susan Spencer and Kate Fisher, and I enjoyed them both. It's kind of hard to compare them because I felt they did very different things with the character of Jo (which is kind of amazing as I got the sense the show is pretty regimented). Fisher was what I sort of expected to see from a Jo, and that's certainly not a bad thing; she really had the tomboyish charm going on. Spencer seemed to me a little more delicate and maybe too pretty (vocally and physically), but she was still spunky and came across well.

And of course there's the added sweet touch with the Jo/Professor relationship with Andrew Varela and Susan Spencer, as they're married and adorable together.

I saw Susan on tour and Sutton on Broadway. I actually prefered Susan to Sutton in the role.
