Unfortunately, the great Mr. Orbach no longer qualifies as a Legend who's "still left."

I think Harvey Fierstein could honestly be considered a Broadway legend. Think about how many Tonys he has and for so many different things...

Patti LuPone could maybe be classified as a Broadway legend...And I think Audra McDonald's tony awards are getting her there although she really isnt old enough yet.

Maybe even Phylicia Rashad...she's a legend at least.

Jerry Orbach, for sure. Chita, Stritch, Lansbury, Barbara Cook, Streisand, Bernadette, Mandy, Patti LuPone, Betty Buckley, Nathan Lane, Carol Channing, Ben Vereen, and I can't believe no one but MargoChanning has mentioned Joel Gray!

" Unfortunately, the great Mr. Orbach no longer qualifies as a Legend who's "still left.""

That made me cry. So now I'm off to bed sad.

Yes Priest. Very sad about Orbach. A great performer. Don't go to bed sad --- "Try To Remember..."

Living Legend = Julie Andrews.

Are we considering living legends the people who are still at the top of their game today or those who left a lasting impression when they WERE at the top of their game? For example, Audrey Hepburn = Legend. Michael Jackson = Someone who would have been a legend during his reign if not for the way he fell from grace afterwards.

I'm sure Gregg Edelman is a lovely person, but...no.
