I'm sure many deserve attention, but Carmen Amaya immediately comes to mind.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 1:40amWhat exactly do you mean by a 'foreign' performer? Someone who wasn't born in the US?

No need to d'oh at me. 'Favorite foreign performer' is a little confusing. Who's your favorite illegal immigrant b-way performer?
Anyhoo mine is Daphne Rubin-Vega.

Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

My three favourite baritones are all Australian. Although as far as I'm aware, only Hugh Jackman has actually performed on Broadway. I insist we give Philip Quast and Anthony Warlow their dues though!

Posted: 6/15/08 at 8:31amJohn Barrowman.. Yes I know he technically grew up in the USA he was born in Scotland and lives in the United Kingdom.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Oh yeah. He's so cute and talented. 
Hannah Waddingham is my other favorite, and today is her last day at Spamalot. Bummer.

For the men, Michael Ball is by far my favorite, then would come John Barrowman.
Females would be Lea Salonga.
I have RSD...but it doesn't have me!!!!
