Paulette Ivory

I know I've forgotten people. List yours.

Edit: Just realized Jeremy Kushnier was in Footloose. (me=idiot). On that note he needs to originate another role.

justme2, I just realized that. I am sloooooooow today. I have this wierd thing where I think that Footloose came out in the 70's which can't be possible for two reasons. 1. Cause it didn't. and 2. The 80's hadn't happened yet. I feel like a fool.

Norm Lewis has created roles too. are we talking people who haven't created anything yet?

I'm thinking that we should be counting people that haven't created LEADING roles in Broadway shows. I think Shoshana would count, as she was in the ensemble of Hairspray. But I don't think Norm Lewis would count, because he was in The Wild Party (granted, it was supporting, but he had a song or two).
