At her big put-in rehearsal yesterday (both Chita and Reinking were there), she LOOKED fabulous (although being in London, it was a bit of a strain for me to get a really close look).
BUT...
She has real problems with the role and, above all, is quite fragile...needing constant reassurance for everything she does.
Makes it tough to give her much-needed notes (or even professional guidance) because you gotta be pussfooting around making sure that she is secure before you say anything. Not a gutsy Broadway broad, or even a diva. Just shaky.
I'm sorry to hear that she's not doing well. I'm not surprised, but I am sorry that she's not doing well. If she really isn't any good, how long will she last? (no I am NOT starting a pool)
