Believe this is a much better fit for her...Nothing against what she's doing in School of Rock, it just has not felt like the best match for her talents.
I really enjoyed her Christine, but I want to see her do something different. Something NOT ALW (you're right, School of Rock doesn't fit her very well).

Born in Sweden, and raised there during her childhood (at least), but also spent considerable years in Paris for her music education (in the book). Musical - not stated clearly.

LOL true. I suppose that the non-native French speakers in the production would be working with a dialect/ accent coach to sound convincingly French. It would be awful if Christine spoke/ sang with an American accent, while the Phantom sang / spoke with a British accent etc.
ALW referred to her as the best. I respectfully disagree. I thought she was too aloof in the role. It was clear she was acting.
I saw her with Norm Lewis the same night I saw Mary Michael Patterson in the afternoon. I thought Ms. Patterson's interpretation was far superior, as was Trista Mouldovan's.
There is much I dislike about the new touring production, not the least of which is Chris Mann's performance. However, I consider Katie Travis's performance the new standard against which all Christines should be measured. She is absolutely fabulous. I interviewed her for BWW and found her to be a nice person as well - icing on the cake. ?

Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

Yes.

It seems kind of stupid they didn't just postpone the opening to the theatre reopening. Hopefully it happens sooner than later. Maybe it wasn't selling well?

According to the Playbill article, there's already a production lined up for when the theater reopens.
