Seriously?! Even better than I had imagined! She's phenomenal!! A brit, playing Elphaba in an American accent, on the US national tour, and crushing the first/make-or-break song?? This is what dreams are made of! Right out of the box and this is what she's giving us?? We'll be seeing her on Broadway shortly. Guaranteed.

This is insanity for a debut. So grounded and strong on the first song out the bat woooow we are in for a treat the next year with Lauren!! Sounds very like Emily Kirsten morris / Marcie Dodd in parts of all the songs 🙏
