I think it's just 2D, Ari.
I'm not so sure, unless they tied in the recording cameras into a different feed than what the crowd's seeing.
There is a plastic sheet across the stage (See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deC2uxu0XA ). You can clearly see the glowsticks reflected on TOP of her hand, and the screen is clearly visible in the wide pullbacks when the lights start going.
However, on the other two, it looks as though the character is 3-D, as the cameras from different angles capture a true 3-D image of the character (IE it's not a head-on shot, if it's to the left or right, you see the appropriate side). Now, that COULD be for the recording. It would not be hard to simply lay in the proper video image since the cameras have set viewpoints. Or they could very easily tie into a computer running a 3-D "Green screened" version of the character and just plop her in just behind the plastic, explaining away any cut through as reflection.
I think, in fact, that's what they might be doing, because you can see a "halo" effect around her at times, showing the background colour she is being "shot" against. The audience may just see a flat projection. I somehow doubt that they would actually have a hologram projector there.
