Excellent but I prefer Ramin Karimloo. He does a fantastic job

[@Barbies1994]

She is great in whatever she does

[@salomeriingen2188]

That's amazing! So inspiring! ThanksLea!

[@pajzder]

I really like her, but I think she should really try to go for a non-rhotic accent for performances like Les Mis and such. Rhotic accents do not fit very well.

[@vivian_who]

She's excellent as always !
