okay, having never seen the OBC live, I have to use different criteria
From a talented/performer standpoint, Adam and Idina. I adore Adam's voice on the CD and really look forward to finally seeing him in the movie. I also saw him live in Aida and while perhaps his singing overshadowed his acting, I still love him. Idina of course I saw in Wicked and well fell in love with her performance from the beginning of "Wizard and I"
Was gonna write it anyway, but totally agree with Em, Anthony definitely as a person. Soo nice, just...everything about him I love. Unfortunatley, never saw him on stage. But I guess...if I had to pick one, probably him, you gotta love sweet actors that do everything possible for their fans.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
