| If memory serves, he said she was hired because her vocal audition was promising and they felt that if she did the work they could have her ready by opening. Sadly, the work put in (as well as lowering all of her keys to basically speaking level) wasn't cutting it. There was a disastrous run-thru on stage with the cast and it was clear this was a catastrophe so they closed it down. | |

| I wish I could remember the name of the cast member who mentioned it in an interview (maybe a Seth Chatterbox?) but allegedly it was more than a bit jarring to the cast hearing the show backstage via intercom. They could not believe their ears and not in a good way. They knew at that point there was no way they were going to continue with her in the lead. | |
