Shoshana Bean. Her Broadway medley at her Ars Nova concert was pretty amazing.

While both Laura Benanti and Kelli O'Hara CAN belt, their chest voices are nowhere near the quality of their sopranos.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Pamela Isaacs (who should do more on Broadway)

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I completely forgot about Pamela Isaacs. Incredible voice. What is she up to now?

I should have mentioned Emily Skinner; her upper register has always impressed me!

I can't believe I forgot Celia, either. re: actresses that have a strong belt and a good soprano

Oh, Marla Schaffel is another. And Joanna Ampil; I had no idea she had it in her until I heard her sing "I Believe in Love" from Hair.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Sutton Foster definitely has a strong belt.

Jennifer Hope Wills and Sandra Joseph are great sopranos.

Lauren Molina has a surprisingly strong belt to go with her lovely soprano.

Leah Hocking sang both Lucy and Emma in Jekyll & Hyde. Still was the best Donna in Mamma Mia. (My opinion)

Actually the real queen of this style is Joan Diener, but unfortunately she passed away this year.

But, if nobody said Christiane Noll, she is very good and Debbie Gravitte has shown off her soprano lately. Also, Emily Skinner has really impressed me with her operatic like soprano, I only knew her as a belter until recently (Broadway By The Year is a great concert series).
Don't forget Barbara Cook.

Rachel York, for sure. I'm so glad she'll be displaying that lovely soprano again in Camelot on tour.
