Great singer – beautiful woman inside and out – hope she feels better soon!
I agree with Maharal. I feel the same about Ms. Toomey, and am thrilled she’s been afforded this opportunity, though I know she’d not have wished I’ll on anyone. Chicago is fortunate to have these two ladies grace the Lyric stage in this role.
