"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher
I forgot to add Julie Andrews, Dorothy Loudon, Daphne Rubin Vega, Angela Lansbury, Simone and Bernadette Peters. There are so many talented Broadway ladies.

I agree with so many of these! I'd say its hard to consider the original bway greats and the neo bway greats b/c they are SO different. SO i'm just gonna post NEO BROADWAY LEADING LADIES: Idina Menzel Kristen Chenoweth Julia Murney (even though, i don't think she's ever been on bway..AH!) Laura Benanti Jane Krakowski Judy Kuhn um.... who else? hmm... Emily Skinner! Alice Ripely!
** P.s. I also think karen morrow should return to NYC!
Wow, someone said Emily!!!!!! *drops dead of shock* (of course, with alice following shortly behind... but hey, she was still mentioned! i'm impressed)

Of course she is. Em is my girl... I've always got her back. :) Um, it's just that she seems very forgotten these days. Of course... she isn't... doing anything...these days... but still. It saddens me. Glad to see some Emily recognition every now and then!
(Now if I could see Emily a little more 'now' as opposed to the 'then', that would be great, too! LOL Actually it's more like... 'Um, WHEN?' But, I digress!)
