In all the years since the show premiered, I've never heard anyone say they were disappointed with Marin Mazzie!
Levy's voice is a bit more contemporary. A wider belt, and more of a hard palate placement.
It's just a matter of preference for people. I prefer Marin's bel canto legit approach. I love how classically she sang, until she began to belt in the last verse of Back To Before. In a sense, she sang it in a such a way that it felt and sounded like the character was discovering her voice. |
