It's cool...he is our vocal director at my college; played Deutoronomy in Cats and seriously I think all of the guys on Broadway are great, but when he coaches me on my stuff I seriously melt. :-P

No not a crush; but I swoon when he sings. In fact all of us do. LoL He's wonderful; classically trained so not only is it really good singing but technically amazing.

Patti Lupone
Bernadette Peters
Alfred Drake
Patricia Morison
Rachel York (my current favorite)
Brent Barrett
Brian Stokes Mitchell
Marin Mazzie
Julie Andrews (when she could sing)
Gertrude Lawrence

I can't remember the rest right now
