(With little success, I might add. It's not that I can't sing, but that I will never, in my wildest dreams, be a colatura soprano.)<br /><br />In 1996 I was lucky enough to see her onstage in the pre-Broadyway tryout for "Victor Victoria," and I can attest that she has an amazing "star" presence in live performance. <br /><br />And speaking of "Star," I know it was a bomb, and yet I still kind of get a kick out of it.
