Victoria Clark is ineligible. She was born in 1959. Shame - I love her.

Yeah, why 1960? Victoria Clark was born in '59 so she can't be included? This seems silly.

So, What happens after 4? How do we determine the 'greatest'?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I think to be eligible, you should have originated at least ONE major role in a Broadway musical. Julia Murney's career has been replacements and Off-Broadway.

NO ETHEL'S, NO MARY's, No ANGELA'S..............not even
a SUSAN JOHNSON or a NANCY WALKER in today's mix.........

Those everyone are listing, aren't even knock-offs or poor
imitations of the ABOVE GREATS.......

Why do people have to always put down this generation of actors by always comparing them to the "greats" of yesterday? Can't there be amazing performers today as well? How old school are you? Nobody can even compare to Ethel? Give me a break. "Knock offs"? Just because they weren't born in 1920 doesn't mean they are any less brilliant.

She's an actress right?

I know this is about Musical Actrsses, but someone cut the list down to Actresses who have also performed in a straight play, or take a point away from anyone who hasn't,
not jackin' the thread, but it would be interesting.
I believe Audra should win this hands down.

I thought you couldn't vote after 4. Whatever. I'm pulling for Kristin, but I think Audra's gonna win. Please don't crucify me for saying "gonna". I'm from Jersey, it's a habit.

kchenofan's computer is broken right now. This is her fridge. Now, you can leave a message, but say it slowly, so I can write it on a post-it note and stick it to myself.
