This is a stretch perhaps for greatest ever, but after encountering the recording sessions of Bridges of Madison County on YouTube first time long time, I would add Steven Pasquale.
"It All Fades Away"
"One Second and a Million Miles"
Steven played Billy in the Chicago Lyric Opera House 2015 production of Carousel and was highly praised
Isherwood: The production is as beautifully sung as anything on Broadway right now, with Mr. Pasquale in particular standing out for his moving Billy. He brings the first act to an electrifying climax with his powerful rendering of “Soliloquy,”
HuffPost: Lyric Opera of Chicago’s production is a Carousel for the ages. As brooding carnival barker Billy Bigelow, Steven Pasquale gives one of the most heart-stopping performances I’ve seen in a musical in recent memory.
We learn that there were serious discussions of bringing this production to Broadway, but ultimately a new and unlucky production had a disappointing run.
It was also unlucky for Steven Pasquale.
