I couldn't find any professional reviews of Bailey's openning night but here is one I found on a forum of someone who went. From reading others opinions (not reviews) everyone seemed to really be impressed.

I went spur of the moment after work to get a ticket to see Bailey's first performance. Let me say that one of the reasons why I thought about (and eventually did) go for her first night was that if she was bad I could have told myself that it was just opening night jitters and not have felt like I waisted time or money. However, I can't say that because for an opening night she was very good.

She got major entrence applause/cheers during Omigod You guys. It was so loud that she waited for them to stop before singing her first line. However she was very spot on for the most part. There were still two mistakes I noticed but other then that it was a great opening night performance.

During the scene before What You Want she did slip into her southern accent for a bit but quickley recovered. Her dancing was very well done and spot on for the entier show. I was very pleased with her dancing in Positive.

She did mess up a line. After Blood in The Water when Vivian has her kicked out of class and she comments that girls can't make everyone look bad if they make each other look bad. She said good instead of bad but that was it.

And, she played off everyone very well. The cast meshed with her so well you would have gotten the impression that they had been performing for a few weeks rather then her opening night. She did look a little young compared to people like Blake and Borel but that ended up being a non issue.

I will say that I have always thought that the character of Elle is not that hard to play. All you have to do is be convincing during the time in the story where Elle goes from being a typical blonde to showing everyone that they were wrong. I felt that this was true for her. However, one thing that I did like was how she made the change very slowly so that you could see the change progress. She was very good in all of the fun comic scenes and was very good at playing the dramatic side of the story in the title song.

If this was just her good opening night performance I will say that I have the strong impression that the best is yet to come.
