Posted: 8/14/07 at 7:44pmOf 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.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

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.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.
