I was just re-listening to the "Great Comet" cast album, and what really stuck out to me this time around was how incredible Amber Gray is. Her rendition of Charming is exquisite, even without any visuals. I didn't get a chance to see her as Helene (I saw Lilli Cooper, who was also quite good), but I did get to see her as the title character in An Octoroon, and most recently as Persephone in Hadestown. She was really excellent in both roles. She's a very talented woman with a really unique and powerful stage presence.

Though I might not get the chance to see Great Comet on Broadway, I'm excited that she'll be continuing with the show. I hope she snags a Tony nomination, and that we get to see more of her in the future.

She was not in Great Comet when I saw it at ART but I just saw her in Hadestown and agree she is truly stunning.  Like what an electric performance she gives.   And THAT VOICE!

I maintain that Hélène is the best character, and Charming is the best song in the score. Amber Gray is an absolute marvel, a knockout in a cast full of already amazingly talented people. She'll be on the "Hadestown" recording, right? I'm so excited to follow her career.
