I mostly agree, but I would also note that she's an incredibly skilled actor on top of all that, and has delivered some excellent performances in plays as well, including on Broadway - perhaps most notably with her Tony-nominated performance in Eclipsed. I would say she brought down the house in that show, but in a different way (and no offense toward the great Jayne Houdshell, but I think Sengbloh should have won that Tony!)

Well...the Brits did somehow manage to find Cynthia Erivo for us..."
Not saying they’re devoid of talent! Plenty of talented West End stars! But not a ton of powerhouse vocalists IMO compared to Nyc.

Oh, don't get me wrong, she blew me away in Eclipsed. I don't mean to knock her acting chops when I say I wanna her the girl sing. I get goosebumps thinking what she'd do with Angelica in Hamilton, for example.
