~Idina Menzel in... everything she's done!

And I really need to listen to more of the stuff Sutton's in, because I LOVE her voice..a LOT, but I just really dont know anything she's been in :) haha. I'm bad, I really do not have a very widespread knowledge of shows. I have a bad habit of getting obsessed with one or two and then kinda.. forgetting about all the other ones out there. haha

Audra McDonald in EVERYTHING she does. (Especially Marie Christine)
I have yet to see her live though. But there must be a reason she has 4 Tonys...

What I've seen...

Sutton Foster in Millie - It's fluff, but she gave her whole BEING to the role. Very rare.

Tonya Pinkins in Caroline, or Change - Left me speechless. What a role, what a woman. What a horrible place to be in 8 times a week. Incredible, nodes and all.

Victoria Clark in Piazza. Truly one of the most beautifully specific, heartbreaking, funny, tragic, portrayals I have ever witnessed anywhere. Only to be topped by... Victoria Clark in Live from Lincoln Center's taping of Piazza. I don't know how, but it was even better than I remembered it.

I envy people like JohnBoy and Bennet... I only pray I get to see 1/4 of the amazing divaness that your eyes have had the priveledge to themselves on.

bwayboi4life, did you see Barbra Streisand in FUNNY GIRL on Broadway, or are you going by the film? And, Patti LuPone was pretty spectacular in EVITA. She should be added to my list, as well. LostLeander, don't envy me, I'm old!
