WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE MUSICAL LEADING MAN#0

Posted: 12/23/03 at 3:52am

For me - of actor/singers I have actually seen live in a musical - it's a choice between BRENT BARRETT and JOHN BARROWMAN.

But the star I would most love to see live in a musical role is MANDY PATINKIN. He's a great actor and his voice thrills and moves me every time I listen to him sing. I was privileged to attend one of his concerts at the Almeida theater in London back in 1996 - just a bare stage with Mandy and pianist Paul Ford - and that is still the most wonderful evening I have ever spent in a theater anywhere. He is sheer magic.

Norbert Leo Butz has definitely been one of my recent favorites. L5Y is such a great showcase for his amazing talent. And his Wicked songs just reaffirm my belief that he is ubertalented. I also like Hugh Jackman, Raul Esparza, and Anthony Rapp (where are you? I need another recording with you on it). I'm sure there are more I just can't think of right now. I'll post more later.

Raul Esparza, hands down.

I do like John Barrowman, and I would also have to say Jeff McCarthy, Hunter Foster and John Dossett. John Dossett doesn't have the greatest singing voice, but there's something about him...he has a great stage presence.

James Naughton followed closely by Scott Bakula and John Barrowman.

I'd have to say my favorite Broadway leading man is any leading man who shucks his shirt during the course of the evening.

I don't know if I'd want to see Mandy Patinkin or Nathan Lane shirtless. Maybe that's just me.
