That is a very difficult question. I do not have one favorite.
I adore:
Donna Murphy- Wonderful Town
Stephanie D'Abruzzo- Avenue Q
Kerry Butler- She was robbed last year for Hairspray/Bat Boy
Kristin Chenowith- Encore's, Charlie Brown, Wicked
Idina- Wicked
I hate it this year all are so great. If I had to choose I would say I would want Stephanie to win for Katemonster but I also want Donna to win for Wonderful Town.
And Kristin and Idina.
It sucks to be me. (Just talking this season)
Of course I love Sutton.
Old time favorites:
Julie Andrews
Dorothy Loudon
Elaine Stritch
Ethel Merman
Rosemary Clooney(SIGH!)

Good choices!
Funny how no one mentions the classics like Martin, Ethel or Angela.
And..come on Broadwalady...surely you must have one? Maybe you'd like to help me write a smartn little ditty!

Many, many come to mind past and present. Patty Lupone, Chita Rivera, Bebe Neuwirth to the current Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoworth.

No question — Angela Lansbury.
Also, I think Madeline Kahn would have been a major musical star if it hadn't been for the controversy over her leaving "On the Twentieth Century."

? But I did say Mary Martin.
If you actually read my post from 9:50 this morning, Mary Martin is right in the middle of my list.

I can't believe only one person has mentioned Julie Andrews.
This woman defines Broadway legend. Her stage presence, voice, acting abilities, and skills as a performer cannot be matched.
She, in my opinion, is the ultimate Broadway Queen, past and present.

I agree Julie Andrews has to be considered an all time great musical theater performer. I wish I could have sen her at the height of her powers in MFL and Camelot. I was fortunate to see her in Victor Victoria and, although her vocal prowess had alrteady began to fade, her stage presence and charisma was still immense.
(Also her immacculate diction and perfectly timed delivery in "Getting Married Today" and "Could I Leave You?" on the "Putting It Together" CD are for me the definitive recordings of those two songs.)

I absolutely ADORE Sutton and Idina. And Kristin Chenoweth too, not quite as much as the other two though.
Diana Kaarina is hardly well-known, but I think she's just wonderful too.
