n o d t ie on t e oo Ee $ "I love Phantom," she said with delight, when interviewed in her Iroquois Ridge home, "but when I see and hear Showboat, I just want to jump onto the stage and do it with them." It seems a tall ambition â€" but Suzanne speaks it with such disarmâ€" ing spontaneity and clarity â€" we do not doubt it will happen. Maybe not tomorrow...but someday. A coloratura soprano‘ (hey â€" go look it up. I did), this mother of three young boys is petite with warm dark eyes and hair.
