I'm with everybody else about Charlotte D'Amboise!
Susan Egan in "Cabaret."
I agree with Ruthie Henshall in Chicago,
Ruthie Henshall in Miss Saigon
LIZA in Chicago, even though it wasn't a real replacement - just a temporary understudy job. But, she was still HOT.
LIZA in V/V... not so much...
Also gotta mention Harvey in Fiddler. I was expecting to go for a laugh and it ended up being one of the most touching nights I've had in a theatre in a LOOONG time.
Whoever said Hugh Panaro in Phantom was absolutely right. He was, by far, one of the greatest Phantoms there has ever been.
I cant believe they brought in Howard McGillan to replace him. It should have been Gary Mauer.
