What is this supposed to be based on? Talent? Looks?
Nathan Lane...Michael Cerveris...

NOT in any order, but all must be included:
Brian Stokes Mitchell
Norm Lewis
Brian d'Arcy James
Mandy Patinkin
Danny Burstein
Raul Esparza
These rankings are always weird. It's difficult to compare actors because they each bring something different to the table.
That being said, Brian d'Arcy James definitely needs to be included.

what happened to Zero Mostel, Jerry Orbach, Robert Preston or Joel Grey?
I think they mean currently working stars.

That list is terrible. Matthew Morrison? Gross!
I have no problem with Norbert being #1 and certainly Jeremy Jordan belongs on the list.
I have no idea how Michael Ceveris is not on this list... Or Ramin Karimloo. Or Brian Stokes Mitchell.
Will Swenson? Certainly wouldn't be in my top 10...
I definitely agree with Norm Lewis. I'm not so sure about Ramin Karimloo, because his inclusion, in my view, is based on one role. Frankly, I don't think he was that fantastic in his roles in POTO and, from what I can tell from the original cast recording, LND.
Alfred Drake
John Raitt
Len Cariou
Zero Mostel
Ray Bolger
Michael Crawford
Joel Grey
Jerry Orbach
Ben Vereen
George Hearn
No Michael Cerveris... I can't even look at that list now.
If you're talking about all time, you can't forget Eddie Cantor, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Al Jolson, or Bert Lahr

Steven Pasquale. Duh.
Will Swenson is certainly the sexiest.
Norbert isn't even on Broadway right now, hasnt been for over a year. Im literally watching him act like a fool on Bloodline at this very moment.
No No Norbert.
