I agree. Extremely good performance and I feel she has a harder job than a lot of her fellow castmates. She has to capture how evil Regina is, while still conveying how magnetic Regina is and why people even give her the time of day. You have to understand why people want Regina to like them. If she were only mean, people would shrug her off and just dislike her. Regina plays so many games and Louderman portrays this so well. All of this while separating herself from Rachel McAdams entirely. And I, too, really had no idea she could sing like that. My jaw was on the floor during "World Burn" and I thought it was the highlight of the entire show, both with her performance and the tonal shift as we enter "sh*t hits the fan" territory.
