... but many Hollywood Stars have "sung" their way through Broadway Musicals:

Katharine Hepburn - COCO

Vivien Leigh - TOVARICH

Bette Davis - TWO'S COMPANY

Actually Richard Burton could carry a tune, and though not operatic, had a beautiful singing voice.

I'll second Lauren Bacall

And even though I love her to death, I must say I don't think Judi Dench can carry a tune AT ALL.

Yul Brynner - The King and I

Rodney, while you may not have appreciated Ms. Chenoweth in The Music Man, to claim she can't carry a tune may be overstating the case a bit.

"I must say I don't think Judi Dench can carry a tune AT ALL."

I was fortunate to see her do A Little Night Music. And while she doesn't have a great singing voice, I was in tears at the end of her "Send In the Clowns". I don't think I will ever hear it more beautifully "sung".

Marc,

I agree. IMO, Dench's rendition of "Send in the Clowns" is THE definitive version. (It struck a deep emotional chord with ne, too.)
