I don't know that anyone stands out, but I have an Icelandic version of Rent that is amazing. Can I say an entire cast?

Not to be totally unoriginal, but by far, Michael Ball. I absolutely adore him, and I hope he comes to do Hairspray on Broadway. I also preferred his turn as Count Fosco to Michael Crawford's by far (and I like Michael Crawford!)

Also, TIM CURRY. He's amazing in everything he does, even completely horrible films like "Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost" and "The Worst Witch". Tim Curry's just so delightfully cheesy, you can't help but love him. Actually, 'delightfully cheesy' is probably the best way to describe Michael Ball as well.

The Icelandic Rent cast has never been on Broadway.

Neither has Philip Quast (as already mentioned).

Why do people keep listing performers who haven't actually performed on Broadway?

If you liked Elena Roger that much you'd at least be able to get her surname right.
