In 64 years since the famous film came out, the stage version of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN has never quite succeeded on The Great White Way, despite several attempts (a recent endeavor starring Derek Hough was postponed just last month).

Her uneven contralto can add feeling to a song rather than diminishing it. There are, however, other issues.
