She's very right for the part on paper, and plays that kind of innocence and damage very well, as is evidenced by her work in the current revival of The Glass Menagerie. But, based on what I have heard about the run, she just wasn't up to the demands of the score as it had been conceived. O'Hara was already on hand, as she had been playing Franca (the part that later went to Sarah Uriarte Berry) I'm always more surprised at how O'Hara had been cast as Italian in that original production, which is funny in light of how the "Does she read Italian" conversation has now been renewed with Bridges of Madison County.
