Marti Webb, from an Andrew Lloyd Webber play I've never seen. She originated the role and was followed by Sarah Brightman and Bernadette Peters, among others. I happen to like Webb's soprano over Brightman's; I find the latter a little too breathy for my taste.
Marty was often the woman to start the ball rolling in theater, getting the role ready for the more theatrical woman to come along
