What Actors or Actress Deserves a Good Show suited for them and there talents.

Posted: 6/26/05 at 5:28pm

Here is my list:

1.) Hugh Panaro
2.) Brian Stokes Mitchell
3.) LaChanze
4.) Rachel York
5.) Michael Ball
6.) Randal Keith
7.) Samuel E. Wright
8.) Audra McDonald
9.) Ann Reinking
10.)Brent Barret

These people to me are GREAT and I think they all need to see them is a good show with them as the star...and not something they have already done.

Orfeh (although Love Janis was good, it was not half as brilliant as her performance)
Colleen Sexton (if she still has any interest in Broadway)
Mandy Gonzalez (I don't think Lennon will be it)

All three women should ideally originate something (Orfeh and Gonzalez have already, but not in the most profound of shows) rather than be "the next elphie". That's not what I'd wish upon a performer with the talent and presence they have. Although, I still stand behind my belief that Orfeh should, without a doubt, be the next "Lady Of The Lake".

...he's had two...
Granted, he didn't really show off his talents to their fullest extents as Link, but its still a lead.

I think Scott is doing just fine. This is about wonderful performers, who have given great performances, in terrible, *beneath them* shows. At least, that's how I took the thread title.

I read the title and took it as stars that are used to supporting/replacement roles that need a starring role written for them. However, I was apparently wrong.

Raul Esparza needs another role like he had in Taboo, but bigger and in a show that lasts.

timote, I agree that he's had two great and important roles, but none of them is considered a lead, at least in TONY terms !

And yet I still haven't said Maureen McGovern...I thought that one would be too obvious.

Besides, you know I'm right.
