favorite broadway actors or actresses

Posted: 11/27/04 at 1:17pm

Im new to this site and this is my first post. Im just wondering who are some of your favorites on the Great White Way.

My choice for actors may be a little unusual but: I love Brian Stokes Mitchell, Gregg Edelman, Christopher Sieber, and Marc Kudisch. I have seen all of them except for Marc but he is gonna be in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Bang and Im not missing that

Actresses- Idina Menzel and Sutton Foster who I believe both deserved their Tony awards
