Melanie Griffith. What she did for Broadway is immeasurable.
HOW oh HOW could I have possibly forgotten HER?!?! Thank you Munk for reminding me of the one who changed my vision of theater forever.
Well, since I'm an old queer:
Ethel Merman
And since I'm a lecherous old queer:
John Tartaglia
"Oh my gosh, I really miss.......
- Kelli O'hara
......There are many more of course!!! "
Phantom05: Kelli O'Hara is still on Broadway. She is in Light in the Piazza.
Alan Cumming
Idina Menzel
Anthony Rapp
Christopher Fitzgerald (COME ON, HE'S SO ADORABLE)
Patrick Wilson
Ugh, this is another long list of good performers thread. Enough with these!
After seeing Charles Busch on a Broadway stage I would say he has been away for far to long,
BUSCH ON BROADWAY.
Hear me world!
Charles Busch belongs on the stage. He is very funny.
And if Shaiman writes him some music with Seth, the world is his oyster.
BUT HE IS THE PEARL. And Julie is the Diamond.
And more VILANCH.
VILANCH ON BROADWAY.
A V for Very talented V-I-L-A-N-C-H!

Adam and Anthony, for one thing, as well as Daphne!!! Also I'd have to say Mary Martin for Peter Pan.
Brian Stokes Mitchell
Billy Porter
Audra McDonald
I would love to see Diahann Carroll, Rita Moreno and Sidney Poitier do something on Broadway.
I miss Raul Julia (R.I.P.)
Hey Phantom05, Kelli O'Hara is in The Light in the Piazza right now. That would be a Broadway show.
Edit: TGIF, you beat me again!

I, as usual, agree with ProducersFan. Roger Bart.
His absence has led to my making many horrid icons that merge different musicals/shows like this one, here *points at icon*.
Also miss Cheno and Michael Cerveris. James Barbour to a point, too.
La Cheno
and Jason Raize. T_____T
