Modern?

Wouldn't it be more fun to talk about our favorite ancient and medieval singers.

I think Jessie Mueller's the best thing to land on Broadway since I don't know who.

Gotta third Jessie Mueller. After watching her recent Obsessed with Seth Rudetsky, can't think of many people with a gift like hers.

"Who's your favorite modern Broadway voice? But don't you dare say one of the most popular ones..."

Makes no sense so I'll say her name anyway. I love Idina Menzel.

My favorite is Jonathan Freeman. He stands out in comic roles with his dramatic, elegant voice. I admire his versatility --he can also ham it up with a sharper, thinner voice. I love it when he thunders and fills the whole theater. He's a vocal gymnast and a fantastic performer.

If you don't want people's answers, don't ask the question. It doesn't make you cool to diss popular people.

I love musicals, and I love performers, but I don't separate them out as vocalists. They win me over with their entire performance.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I just love the tone and emotion of Sutton Foster's voice. It's very unique but still technically gorgeous.
And Laura Osnes's voice just makes me happy.
Oh, and I do have to say Idina Menzel.

The edge on Rebecca Naomi Jones' voice really does it for me. That Norbert Leo Butz has a pretty spectacular instrument too.

Yup, Jessie Mueller again. She's so versatile - she belts, she sings soprano, she Carole Kings...

Also love Kelli O'Hara, Laura Osnes, Laura Benanti, Stephanie J. Block

Lea Michele because she encompasses the male and the female. She's bisexually vocal.

Male: Aaron Tveit, Stark Sands, Stephen Pasquale, Norbert Leo Butz, and Jeremy Jordan
Female: Laura Osnes, Caissie Levy, Kelli O'Hara, and Jennifer Damiano

Also, a couple of maybes - I have only heard Jessie Mueller on the Beautiful OBCR, but she sounds amazing. And I like Idina Menzel too, but I tend to prefer the parts where she does not belt. Don't get me wrong, her belt is great, but I love the more subtle tone of her voice - like in "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked.
