100% agree. I mean, she's fine if you like her, but I don't think she was cast well for this character. It's just over-the-top and I think the character works best when there's a balance between fragile, soft, forceful and naive. She just sings the words off the page for me. She's a powerhouse, of course, but just not right for this (my opinion).

even so, this isn't a play or a show they've been doing for a long. The main actors were probably told about the roll a few weeks before. Would rather have a tele promter just in case instead of a singer forgetting what to sing. Now if this was a full out musical play and the actorst had been doing the roll for over a month, then yeah, I would agree with you.

Honestly, the best Florence I've ever seen was Jodi Benson in 1991 at Long Beach Civic Light Orchestra. Look up clips on YT and tell me she doesn't blow you away. She went on to do Arielle in The Little Mermaid (the movie), but her Florence is just stunning.
