Are there any broadway singers who can easilly cross over into something like opera or classical? the only people that come to mind are Ashley Brown and sara jean ford. I cannot think of anyone else.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
I was thinking more of broadway to opera/classical.

Gary Morris is a country star who then did Les Miz. Also did a great recording of Wind Beneath my Wings. You don't often hear country stars do Broadway but he was great!
Lord, how did I forget Luker??? I have the Aria 2 CD on iTunes. I had the privledge of seeing her as Mrs. Banks, and was amazed at how versitile she was, having already listened to her sing operetic songs.

Patti LuPone has done both opera and mainstream theater.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
Patti Lupone and Audra McDonald did an opera together in LA. There seem to be more women who have really good traing in opera than men. I'm trying to think of men who have or do crossover.
