I forgot about Passion! Hm... I'll have to check my local listings...
First that come to my mind was Michael Arden. Seriously, "See Me" brings me to tears everytime. Speaking of, Kaitlin Hopkins is good too.
Adam Pascal- One of the most powerful and emotion filled voices I've ever heard. Sends chills down my spine and you can just feel the passion radiating from his voice.
Daphne Rubin Vega- She has such a unique, individual voice and she just shows emotion very well.
Cheno (as someone else said, limited in emotions she can show but the ones she can show, she does very VERY well)
Anthony Rapp (same as said about Cheno but also because I've never really heard him express a kind of angry/vicious emotion)
(ones that I also feel go under this category but I cant come up with a summary for :-P)
Sutton Foster
Lea Solanga
Definitely Audra! I've never had the opportunity to hear her perform live, but I love her ability to show emotion through her voice. You can hear what she is feeling and it just makes you connect. I'll be in heaven when I finally get to see her live. Is she having any performances this summer? *Goes to create an all Audra playlist in Itunes*

The first person that popped into my head was Carolee and the second Audra...
Audra has the most expressive voice I've ever heard.
Sutton Foster is great though too.
Anthony Warlow.
Most expressive voice?
The unsung (so to speak) heroes who ever breathed life into a Disney character:
including...
Paige O'Hara
Jodi Benson
Mary Costa
Judy Kuhn
Lea Solonga
and the list goes on and on.

I really can't beleive more people haven't mentioned Raul Esparza.
I'm sad to see that not a single person said Rebecca Luker. She's got emotion flooding through her in "The Secret Garden" etc. Also I'd say Mary Bond Davis. I just didn't wanna repeat anyone and feel these two women very much deserve to be mentioned.
Wait. Liz Callaway is definitely at the top of my list, with Carolee and Audra. Oh, and Norm Lewis!
I have to agree with whoever said Dorothy Louden. I just heard a recording of her singing "Fifty Percent" WOW!
My personal favorites:
Bernadette Peters
Susan Egan
Audra McDonald
These three (plus others I'm not able to think of right now)... I've always found to be able to act their songs really well. =)
LINDA EDER
IDINA MENZEL
KRISTIN CHENOWETH
This is another one of those threads that everyone will list just about every single Broadway perfomer ever, because they're all on Broadway for a reason: they're super-talented (unless you're Melanie Griffith) so of course they're going to have emotion in their voice. Sorry, I get annoyed with this kinds of posts sometimes. Just ignore me...
147 posts to go... then I'm a Broadway Legend!
