Here's one that hasn't been mentioned -- Many years ago, when it was still fairly early in its run, I saw "Miss Saigon" on a Wednesday night and Jarrod Emick, who was then also part of the ensemble, went on as Chris. I don't know who actually had the role at the time (I know it wasn't the original actor), but his performance was so wonderful that I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job than he did. I thought to myself "this guy won't be stuck in ensembles for very long". I guess I was right!
