OK.

Laura Bell Bundy- Legally Blonde
Let me just say, i saw the show twice, in San Francisco and early in the Broadway run and I really thought she was phenomenal. Vocally fantastic, hilarious, touching, and so infectiously joyful. Hey, that's how I feel.

Audra McDonald- 110 in the Shade

Liev Schreiber- Talk Radio

Alice Ripley and J. Robert Spencer- Next to Normal

Hadyn Gwynne- Billy Elliot

Movin' Out (Nat'l Tour)- Company
I'm a huge dance fan, and I remember just not being able to breath at how stunned I was by that production. One of my most powerful theatrical experiences to this day. And so much freaking fun.

The whole cast of Next to Normal, honestly the most dynamic cast ever, Alice Ripley is a genius and I'm sure Jen Damiano has a huge future.

Unfortunately I have not seen many shows. Of the ones I've seen the two that stood out would be:

Kate Fleetwood: Macbeth - still blown away after a year and 4 months of seeing it
Alice Ripley: Next to Normal
