LISA BRESCIA IS A STAR!!!!
Lisa was the closing cast Amneris on Broadway. She was also an amazing Eva Peron at the Gateway Playhouse over the summer. I could spit out the rest of her bio for you if you want, but I'll try not to refrain for once.
Be excited, she's brilliant.
her performance in Aida was stunning...so glad she is back on broadway. i can't wait to meet her again!
Be excited, she's brilliant.

I am assuming that she is in the ensemble. I wonder if she is the understudy for any of the larger roles...I'd love to know when she is going on as a lead!
I had LB as my Amneris when she was on the National Tour of AIDA....YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!....I hope she eventually gets to take a lead role in WIW and DRS.

I really hope for you all that they are understudying lead roles, because the ensemble in this show doesn't exactly stand out...
But being that they are so good, I'm sure she'd be understudying the role of Laura or Anne.
I can't wait to see this show, and I'm glad Lisa is back on Broadway!
