Molly and others: I really must agree with Eva's list of ways to approach this role. I always discourage students from learning by following other's recordings. Recordings are useful to compare and contrast one's own ideas and to possibly get a deeper feel for the character's emotion through other singer's vocal shadings etc. but learning through mere imitation of a recording doesn't do justice to you at all. If you don't play piano well...get a few lessons or pay someone or even trade favors like offering to sing a solo for free if your pianist needs your services or get a pianist who wishes to learn something about singing and swap skills or something like that.
