How was Kristy Cates?

---

Christina Applegate (definitely a surprise to see there) was very cute and I thought her singing voice was pretty good!
Kristy Cates did a good job, she doesn't hold the notes as long as Idina, Shoshana, or Eden (the only elphabas I have seen). Her background music was piano only, which sounded a bit strange, but I think she did a good job and I'd be interested to see the rest of her performance at the show.

the pictures are up on broadway.com.... kristy kates certainly makes for a good wicked witch
