sutton foster's voice is very easy to listen to and is very natural sounding, but I think that technically Kristin Cheno is unbelievable

Patti Lupone? The best??? Her acting may be good, but her voice IS NOT pleasant to listen to, imo.

Top 3 in Order:
Lupone
Cheno
Sutton

That being said I am very Partial to Heidi Blickenstaff. While no she doesnt have the top voice on Broadway I think she is still in the upper tier. And even though shes kind of a b**** SRS has a killer voice.

Natalie Weiss isn't on Broadway.

Jane Krakowski has a really lovely voice too. She and Orfeh are definitely my favorites. Very different, and very fantastic!

Sutton Foster, no questions asked.

Tops in my boook: LINDA EDER (Amazing,...I wish she'd return to Broadway but .. we all know why!) & .. Jill Paice!

Also: Kelli O'Hara, Natalie Toro, Laura Benanti, Judy Kuhn, Christiane Noll --- it keeps going but I'd say those are my top 7!

Kerry Butler!

Philly03, as a big Jekyll and Hyde fan (as well as Linda Eder) I'm ashamed to know why she didn't return to Broadway. I'm really terrible with knowing the behind the scenes information, but I've always wondered that myself.

Posted: 2/5/09 at 9:09pm

I'd say LEA SALONGA too...

[philly03]

beltingbaritone, as AWESOME as Linda is in both personality (if you haven't gotten to a concert of her's (or with Michael Feinstein) you need to go :)! But you usually don't hear too much J&H/Wildhorn stuff..!) and singing abilities, most poeple thought she was a horrendous actress. Truth be told, she wasn't that great -- the death scene was often..interesting, which is why so much of Jekyll on Broadway was her walking on ... walking off. She kind of only had to act out the death, acting disgusted with Hyde, and during "No One Knows Who I Am"!

Plenty of people think her voice is enough to carry her over that though anyway - the Drama Desk & OCC (HAHA) & TheatreWorld Award people, Rosie O'Donnell...Regis Philbin hahaha. Many people were pushing her for a Tony nod., but of course she didn't get one. And of course, when you're sort of exclusive (similar to Sarah Brightman) to one composer your career choices in a field get limited!

nicole neumann2 , Who is Karen Oliva?

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Posted: 2/7/09 at 12:08pm

Philly, I forgot about Judy Kuhn! She has such a nice voice, and such an interesting tone. (Although, I'm kind of biased toward her, because my old voice teacher kept comparing my voice to hers... which is DEFINITELY unrealistically complimentary toward my singing)

SUTTON

[AngusN]

Posted: 2/7/09 at 1:16pm

Kelli O'Hara, and Kristin Chenoweth most definitely. I could listen to these two all day long and not get bored.

Although I do love Kerry Ellis, Eden Espinosa, Stephanie J Block, Natalie Weiss and Sutton Foster.
