Sutton Foster will never be a Broadway diva. Please! No charisma and makes Wonder Bread look spicy.
A diva has to have talent, charisma, and an ability to connect with an audience [gay and straight] whether it be on film, stage, Whole Foods, wherever.
The last time I saw a Broadway diva performance was Reba in Annie Get Your Gun. She proved herself and more despite a cheesy production.
The ultimate Bway divas:
1. ETHEL
2. BARBRA
3. MARY
4. GWEN
5. ANGELA
6. LIZA
7. ELAINE
8. JULIE
9. DIAHANN
10. LEE REMICK [her performance of the title song to "Anyone Can Whistle" automatically puts her on any diva list]
