Has Alice Lee ever gone on for Wendla, I would love to see her in that role.

Yes, she went on for Wendla I believe for 2 or three performances the beginning of December..and I think the order for covers is Eryn, Alice, and then Emily (who has not performed the role yet)

Which I think is a shame because I could not keep my eyes of Emily the entire show. She's a great performer.

Me too...When Emily (anna) hands Wendla the mike during mamma who bore me reprise..its amazing..emily is so into it..I;m sure her Wendla would rock..also, I've heard good things about Alice..its a shame b/c i wish the show lasted longer so we could see more understudies...(i've yet to see Eryn as Wendla and I've been dying to since i "heard" her and i've seen the show live 5 times)

I saw Eryn quite a while ago and I was actually non-plussed by her...although the cast thought she was absolutely amazing. I just thought she was boring. She sounded pretty but that's about it.

I've heard she has improved since she went on for the first time as wendla last january....her voice sounds great from what i've heard..how is her acting?

^I saw Eryn as Isle a few weeks ago and I thought her acting was incredible. Her voice is gorgeous too.

Eryn looks more like how I picture Isle, but Emma's voice is undeniably beautiful and her acting is top notch.
