Must I point out once again that there are two N's in Minnelli??? Anyone on this board should know that!! Shame.

Shirley Jones (in her younger days), Bernadette, Kristin, Judy Garland, Beverly Sills, Joss Stone, Streisand (see Shirley Jones), Andrea McArdle. I have to say (flame away) that Julie Andrews bores me to tears. TEARS, people.

Shoot. That's more than three.

Piglet, honey - have you had a falling out with Jarrod? Can't believe he isn't No. 1 on your list.

Emick, Fruge, Barrowman, Wilson, Esparza, Benanti, Maggie Benjamin, Korey, Merman (no, wait she's dead...sorry 'bout that but I've been reading "Almost Like Being in Love" by Steven Kluger AND I HIGHLY recommend it for fun summer fiction reading).... and the nicest lady in show business---Ann Hampton Callaway.

I'm thinking perhaps I misunderstood "musical" in this context - I was reading it as "singers" - now I'm thinking it's musical theater - which makes my list very different...please clarify.
