    After the first song, I was thinking how well her voice would go with Meadowlark and than she sung it!
    I didn't expect her voice to have such a classic theatre quality. This video is probably the perfect letter of recommendation for yourself. She shows off not only her range, vocal abilities and acting skills, but also her excellent musical intuition. I would totally see her play Maria in West Side Story, or even Glinda in Wicked. With a voice like that the possibilities are endless.

      @ClipsByLaura Před 4 lety +4

      @@BIRDWITCHE It depends how you present them. You could sing them quite similarly, but I don't think the songs ask for that approached. They both have very different characters to it and you can definitely highlight that. She probably picked them because they complement her voice, so I guess they go well together. Good luck!

    Would've loved to see her as Anastasia on Broadway, I think she would do really well and bring something new to the character. She has this airy, princess aura that Christy Altomare has and I am just realizing it now!

    This rendition of Now You Know is the most impressive thing I've ever heard. It's like if Elaine Strich and Barbara Cook got combined in a teleportation mishap.
    Fun tact: if I remember correctly, the character singing Now You Know (the curtain song in Act One) was a thinly veiled portrait of Dorothy Parker in the original 1934 play.
