      She was in the original cast for Rent on Broadway too. It's been greatly overshadowed by Wicked but it did go 12 years and a movie making it one of the most succesful broadway show.

    To be extremely honest, this is not one of her BEST performances here as she seemed to played it safe here
    Seems kinda nervous in front of the president inside the White House which is extremely understandable though hahahaha
    Her other performances were…. freer as opposed to this, but this is still awesome, don’t get me wrong hahaha

Hints is why they chose Cynthia over idina. All I’m saying is just because she’s the first but that doesn’t mean she the best. She had her time now she needs to pull an Elsa and let it go.
