I thought Kristin Chenowith was wonderful--not only her voice but her acting also. Matthew Broderick is cute enough she upstaged him coming and going. The only thing that I can be somewhat negative about is that in a certain part of her voice she sounds nasal....Her upper range was gorgeous, very round and warm, but somewhere in the lower middle she got nasal and sort of brassy...sounded like 2 different voices. Even so, the rest of her voice more than made up for it, and the fact that she gave the role a certain panache that Shirley Jones didn't have made for a very enjoyable evening. I loved it. Leslie
