A la the thread on Anneliese van der Pol on the same topic, why haven't we seen Coleen Sexton on Broadway recently? She has a killer voice, and her moments on the Jekyll and Hyde DVD are really beautiful (then again, shown along Hasselhoff's performance, what wouldn't be brilliant?). I know she toured with Wicked and Legally Blonde, and according to Wikipedia she's playing Velma in Chicago at a theatre in Illinois.
Any other fans want to see her back on Broadway?

I understand her head got too big for her pointy hat when she was in Wicked and no one wants to work with someone that notoriously difficult.
Don't know how she got on in Legally Blonde though.

I totally agree! She was so impressive in Jekyll and Hyde and equally as good in Wicked! They should bring her to NYC! Would love to see her back on the boards! However, if she has a big head, why would she be working regional, if she is "too good"? Don't know if I believe that, but everyone's gotta work I guess!

But she gets RAVE reviews:
"I love her last "again!" I think she is just as good as Victoria Matlock. i also think she is the loudest Elphaba that there has been." jaszon27
"that last "again" riff is nothing short of orgasmic. i think i'm in love." zacxthexvacuum
"feee yeeeerrr ro ro roooo . <3 amazing riffs<3 i LOVE her" shannyloveyou
"her and lea michelle have the most beautiful voices." shannyloveyou
"ok, its official...Coleen is DEFINATLY my third favorite elphie now...(1.-Teal Wicks, 2.-Eden Espinosa) SHE IS A POWERHOUSE!!!?" Simbafan
Some people don't like her though:
"Needs some balls like Linda Edder, this girl doesn't have the range. A bit like Susan Boyle, no power/range whatsoever." godthisispainful
"Wow. This chick really can't act." Thatblkboy
"IDINA IS AMAZING. NO ARGUMENTS." Soon2beonbroadway
"not even half to linda eder's version...trying hard...tsk tsk!" xxSnAkEByTExx
And some people don't like the orchestra (strings):
"...orchestra (strings) is off at a few places too....wow" turnerrichard
Just some thoughts.
