1) Christiane Noll. The girl is not just a pretty voice. Why she isn't on Broadway all the time is a mystery to me.
2) Anthony Warlow. Best Baritenor voice out there, and a damn fine actor. Wish he would come to the States.
3) Brian D'arcy James. This Man should be starring and have his own show. Marisa Jaret has a tony and he doesn't, "You dont know this man".

Posted: 7/12/05 at 12:24amyup, anthony warlow. The versatility of the man is AMAZING. I saw him last week in Opera Australia's doublebilling of HMS Pinafore and Trial by Jury, in which he played Captain Corcoran and the Judge. You wouldn't have known it was the same performer playing the two roles. He was the most convincing dirty old man ever. And completely HILARIOUS, as well as possessing an eargasmic voice as the captain (thanks to whoever on this board coined that term).

Posted: 7/12/05 at 12:55amI love Anthony Warlow, I agree. If I could, I would write a show just for him and have him come to NY to do it.

anthony warlow is without doubt a world class performer
world class!!
i happen to know that he was recently offered the lead in cyrano, but turned it down for family reasons.
apparently he gets regular offers for overseas work, i wish he'd travel.
he is truly brilliant. have you heard the rendition of lily's eyes on one of his albums in which he sings both parts thanks to pre-recording? awesome stuff
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."

I totally agree with you about Rosemary Ashe. Not only is her soprano phenomenal, but it was great to hear her belt "Evil" and "Dirty Laundry" in THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK!

Posted: 7/12/05 at 9:23amJust to tell you, Christiane Noll is still into acting. She's been working on A TALE OF TWO CITIES and is on the concept recording as LUCIE MANETTE.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 10:09amCarolee Carmello is the most underrated actress currently working in New York. She is extremely versatile, being able to portray roles as diverse as a Southern wife who goes to hell and back to defend her husband, a sister who goes to great lengths to keep the memory of her war hero brother alive while raising her son alone, a wife of a homosexual who is having an affair with a young student, and an actress in love with a neurotic lyricist. There is nothing this woman can't do. Couple that with a pristine voice and the fact that she is one of the nicest actors around. To quote the title of a show she was is, she is a true class act!

You're quite welcome!
For me, Carolee is a return to old-time Broadway. I would see her in anything.

She'd be a great Babe in Pajama Game.
We'll have to settle for her in Lestat for now though.

Posted: 7/12/05 at 10:51amI'm only going to see Lestat because of her. I think she would make a great Sally in Follies.
#14re: Most Underated performers:
Posted: 7/12/05 at 10:58amYes she would. I'm sure she'll do it in some regional production. She'd be a good Mrs. Lovett too.

"maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city
