I think that's how to phrase it. I gotta say Steven M. Goldsmith in Chicago Jersey aBoys is better then Jarrod. His voice is way more powerful.

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

Merle Louise was better than Lane Bradbury in the original GYPSY, at least according to Merman. After Merle Louise went on for Bradbury, Merman had Bradbury fired and Merle Louise assumed the role. OUCH!

than

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Anyone who went on for Charlotte D'Amboise in A Chorus Line.

Anyone who went on for Wanda Richert in the ACL tour way back when. Sheesh, she stunk.

Nancy Hess was better than anyone she went on for in KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN (except Chita). She was a passionate, scary Spider Woman, even in the sparse dialogue scenes. Carole Lawrence was a robot in that role.

Maybe Krysta Rodriguez for Mandy Gonzalez as Nina in ITH.

Bill Nabel for Jacob Young as Lumiere in BATB.

Jan Neuberger for Rue Mclanahan(sp?) as Morrible in Wicked.

Julie Reiber blows Kerry Ellis out of the water as Elphaba in Wicked. It's not even close.

I think Krysta Rodriguez has a better voice Karen Olivo, but Karen is a better actress.

Nancy Reagan, meanest and thinnest of the first ladies moves into the white house. Yabba dabba! It's the eighties.

Does it count if you didn't see the main? Because, I thought that the Nettie understudy on "The Color Purple" tour was amazing, and I don't love LaToya London.

I get that she's annoying but do you have to make the same comment on more than 1 thread, wicked_beast?

Well I enjoyed Brandi Massey as Elpheba over Ana Gastayer in Wicked.
