JOEL GREY- Very endearing, amazing star.
HARRY CONNICK JR I really liked in in The Pajama Game. I felt like he could relate to his characters. He has a killer voice, and looks very sexy :) and of course I loved the chemistry between him and his co-star, Kelli O'Hara. He sound slike a really nice guy, and my mom says she is (seeing as she met him) so I mean, I just like him. You guys may not, but I do.
KELLI O'HARA in DUH- THE PAJAMA GAME, and although I never saw her in Piazza, I heard she was spectacular, and just hearing "The Beauty Is" by her was just... amazing, I started crying.
SUTTON FOSTER in Little Women- She made me cry, as did
LACHANZE.
CHENO AND IDINA were a nice duo, I can't pick one over the oter in WICKED.
DAPHNE RUBIN-VEGA in anything, because she is amazing.
VICTORIA CLARK- a phenominal actress, PIAZZA.
CELIA KEENAN-BOLGER: Boy, do I cry at a lot of musicals. THE I LOVE YOU SONG was just great in SB.
TAYE DIGGS- A very hot, amazing actor.
ANTHONY RAPP in YAGMCB. I love how down-to-earth, adn just nromal he felt onstage.
Jesse L Martin- YAY! I feel for him every time I watch him in anything, be it a movie, or LAW AND ORDER.
ZACH BRAFF- Not only is he a bona-fide stage star, he is hilarious and on SCRUBS.
NORBERT LEO BUTZ- Aww. Norbie. he's just a great singer/actor, I feel like he really jumped into the skin of his characters and crawled around in it.
JESSE TYLER FERGUSON-My god, this man is one of the funniest people ever. Every time I hear him, I smile. I like him alot.
ADAM PASCAL- What a voice. Even though I hated him in the RENT movie, he just sounds amazing in AIDA, or anything else.
Can I get an "Amen?"
