Currently on Broadway?

There's not much to choose from, so I would say Sutton Foster in LITTLE WOMEN.

Oh, he said ON BROADWAY, so I thought he meant current. Well, overall, I'd say:

Bernadette Peters
Laura Benanti
Rebecca Luker
Patti LuPone

Rath, we are!

Here's my top 5, in order:
1. The aforementioned Melissa Errico
2. Emily Skinner
3. Carolee Carmello
4. Alice Ripley
5. Rebecca Luker

Patti goes without saying. She is a GODDESS!

I DONT THINK YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SINGING IS
AN AMAZING SINGER IS LIKE IDINA MENZEL. I MEAN MAUREEN MCGOVERN IS NOT AN AMAZING SINGER

No, emo, Matt's right

I have a question:

Why does Emily Skinner sound "old" in The Full Monty - was she just doing it for the role? Cause if not, her voice is OK...

re: MOST AMAZING..

Posted: 3/5/05 at 9:39pm

Yea, in that role she was going for obnoxious, really obnoxious. Just listen to everything else she has ever recorded. She is an absolutely brilliant performer.

Okay, Brandon, I think I actually might ignore a user. I've never done that before.

Oh, I say Bernadette.

Hmmmm. I'd say I enjoy Linda Eder a lot, and Shoshana Bean really is unfathomably versatile as a singer.

re: MOST AMAZING..

Posted: 3/5/05 at 11:17pm

Oh, i forgot Shoshana! Of course, Shosh is incredible.
