Anthony, Adam and Idina. For Rent.
Idina and Kristin :) I like them both, and I like JLT because she was in Footloose with Jeremy Kushnier.

1. Cary Shields, MRF, Matt Caplan
2. Idina
3. Kristin (JLT was amazing tho)
I really don't get Jesse Martin..I'm sure he's a good actor, but I don't like his voice at all. I don't think it's strong, and I'm kind of sad he's Collins in the movie

Posted: 11/2/04 at 1:20pmYeah Jeremy and Matt are in there too. XD

1) Taye (if it wasn't OBC I'd say Jai lol).
2) Idina
3) I haven't seen JLT perform, but I think she is a terribly sweet person. So I guess Kristin since I have only seen her.

I'm not doing OBC cuz' I never saw them, but my favorite cast member is Danny Calvert from the current tour just cuz' he's the hottest guy I've ever seen in person... and he humps the fence.
And I don't like WICKED I don't see what it has to do with the topic at all, so I won't answer that.

1. really can't pick! I love Anthony, Adam, Daphne, Idina, Taye, KLK, Gwen...lol, pretty much everyone in the OBC. If we're including non-OBC I also love Jai, Mark Richard Ford, Krystal, Matt Caplan, Sebastian, Karmine, and Kendra Kassebaum
2. Idina
3.JLT. I think Cheno is better as Glinda, but I like JLT better.

Who is playing Collins right now? I assumed it was still Mark Richard Ford but he's not listed on the site...if he left I'm gonna cry.

You're making us pick? How mean. Ok... favorite for the three big ones (too lazy to do them all), judging on what I have seen-
Roger- Adam. (bg2, don't jump me. we all acknowledge that he's not the greatest actor, but his is the only Glory I can sit through without wincing at least once. [and it's no secret that I would listen to him sing just about anything... Phonebook:the musical, anyone?]) Honorable metion for Josh Kobak.
Mimi- Dominque or Daphne. Dom acted the part of a nineteen year old really well but still managed the been-around-the-block attitude. Daphne just IS Mimi. There are no adjectives.
Mark- Will I be a suckup if I say Anthony? I will? Ok then, Brian Gligor.
Yes, I am very attached to the OBC. Can ya tell? 
ETA- I love your avatar, lytemycandle.

3. JLT
The theatre is one of the most expressive and useful instruments for the edification of a country; it is also the barometer which makes its greatness or its descent. A theatre which is sensitive and well oriented in all its branches from tragedy to vaudeville can in a few years change the sensibilty of the people; theatre which has been destroyed, in which cloven hooves take the place of wings, can put to sleep an entire nation. A people that does not aid and encourage its theatre is moribund if not dead; the theatre which does not gather to itself the best of society, of history, the drama of its people and the genuine color of its landscape and its spirit, with laughter or tears, does not deserve to call itself theatre, but rather a place for that horrible thing which is called killing time.- Federico Garcia Lorca
