Of course Julie Andrews is the 1st one that comes to mind, but I don't know many British theatre stars, only Linzi Hateley, Maria Friedman, Michael Ball and Ruthie Henshall. What are your favorites?

I'm all about Frances Ruffelle and Ruthie Henshall.
I also have a love/hate relationship with Kim Criswell.

Oh my list can go on and on.

I think it goes without saying
<----

But I'll put the top of my list. My number one ever is JENNNA RUSSELL. I love her too much. It's quite ridiculous actually.

Ok. Well. I LOVE Ewan McGregor but didn't really like him in Guys and Dolls. But I'm gonna go ahead and put him on the list anyway.

I actually have a list saved on Microsoft Word. Right now it has 19 people on it.
