Karen Ziemba is amazing. Even more amazing than people know.

Murney also blows my mind.

"Karen Ziemba is amazing. Even more amazing than people know."

I'll drink to that - but what makes you say it? What do you "know" that we don't?

Um, I'm gonna have to think about this one for a while... Euan Morton, Jeffrey Carlson, Norbert Leo Butz (but not after people see him in DRS)... I know there are more.

Lillias White

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Karen Ziemba, Lillias White and Debbie Shapiro all have a Tony award. How are they underrated? :)

Well, WISH, do you see any of them starring in anything? Do you see their names all over this board?

I'll second, third or whatever Karen Ziemba and Jeffrey Carlson. I'm too braindead right now to think of my own.

Gravitte (nee Shapiro) won her Tony award by default. (Not that she didn't deserve it -- there was simply NO competition that year.)

She hasn't done much since, other than tour with Michael McGuire. I do think she qualifies as "underrated"....

Justin Justin Justin!
Those of us who have actually had the chance to see Justin Guarini sing, dance and perform know that he is very talented and the fact that he is underrated by those who really have never seen him perform and just recycle the same hearsay crap over and over, is as unjust as it is unwarrented. I love Broadway and I'd love to see Justin part of the broadway community and starring in somthing wonderful.

Joanna Gleason. i know she's got a good career and a Tony, but she needed to be a superstar.

Even though he has done a lot, i really think NORM LEWIS is not recognized enough for his work. Give this man his own show!

Will Chase.

played Chris in Miss Saigon more than anyone else.
saving grace of Aida during the dark days of the Pop Stars (excluding Deborah Cox)
stellar replacement for Patrick Wilson during Full Monty

Never originated a role on Broadway. Here's hoping Lennon brings him the recognition he deserves!
