If I was a guy, I'd definately classify Idina Menzel's voice as sexy. Same with Frances Ruffelle in London (Can't y'all tell how much of a fan I am?). Who cares if people think her voice is whiny?
She is so new (so is the show)....but I have to say
Elisabeth Withers-Mendes.
Her voice is like velvet! I can listen to her all day. Can't wait for her album. It's her debut in theatre but she is a seasoned performer in the music arena. I'm looking forward to what her broadway future holds!

Judy Garland. Pure brilliance. I actually prefer older Judy though, when she's got a bit more character and life in her voice.
And Audra's voice is a Seven Course Meal. For free.
Kelli O' Hara. Like budda.
Stokes, of course.
Stokes + Audra = heaven.
Anderson Davis. You don't know him, but you will. And you will agree.
Norbert Leo Butz. I'm another one of those people who could listen to him aaaaall day. If I'm ever having a rubbish day, I stick on my Norbert! playlist, and all is well with the world again. The man's a marvel. ^_^

Norbert has a great voice.
Sutton Foster; I don't think anyone has said her. When she's on, there are few who are better.
Idina but only when she sounds like she did on SWIWS.
I second Gavin Creel
Hugh Panaro has one of the purest most phenomenal tenors I've ever heard.
Audra, enough said.
Lost Leander, I know Anderson Davis from that one Youtube video. I love those videos of CMU students kicking it. Yeah Anderson is amazing and so is Patina Miller. They are both favorites of mine.
Sho, When she's mixing at her best.
Finally, not on broadway but one of my favorite voices of all time: Clay Aiken. (Crucify me if you will, but his talent is immense).

Heather Headleys voice sounds like Honey! MMMMM!
Christine Ebersole could sing anything and it would sound brillant.
Audra McDonald is what an angel would sound like.
Jane Krakowski sounds like hot sex!

And just in general, Denzel Washington. I dont know if he can sing and I dont care, but his voice is just overall yummy!

Shoshana Beans vocals, especially on songs like "Home" and "Ain't No Way" are absolutely stunning.

I agree with the first comment, totally.
I melt into a puddle of goo at Kelli's voice too, especially in "The Beauty is" from Piazza.
Norbert and Adam Pascals melt me, too.
Victoria Clark on "Piazza" made me cry.
Michael and Manoel on Sweeney are nice.
Lachanze is just great.
And Sutton on Little women- Astonishing, was astonishing.
Drew Sarich is awesome!
Maria Friedman, just something about her.

Audra McDonald, Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Kristin Chenoweth when she turns on the opera in "Make Our Garden Grow". Also Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott, specifically in The Last 5 Years. Amazingness in a neat little package.
Also, Marin Mazzie and Rebecca Luker. And Mark Jacoby's voice is kind of odd, but for some reason I am in love with it.
I'm going to second Elisabeth Withers-Mendes, because I love her, & I don't think she gets enough credit.
Cheno is fantasic
... but above all, there are no two people dead or alive who have the ability to move me like Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis.

Absolute most delicious female, Orfeh, male, Norm Lewis.
Barbra Strisand and Stephanie J. Block. They both have sounds that send goose bumps up my arms and they are so smooth their vocal tones are as rich as Dove Chocolate.
