Elena Roger - Evita
She is possibly the best actress I have ever seen live! I would give anything to see her again in the Broadway Revival! You New Yorkers are in for a treat!
Michael Ball - Edna Turnblad
His performance was brilliant, although I wish Harvey Fierstein had transfered to the London production at some point.
The ENTIRE Cast Of Hair
You could not say a single actor on stage did not give a phenomenal, breath taking or beautiful performance! They were all incredible! The most amazing experience in the theatre for me ever.

There have been many but to name a few:
Jennifer Holliday - Dreamgirls - still the most electrifying night ever spent in the theater.
Lauren Bacall - Woman of the Year
The original cast of The Secret Garden - When is this show going to be revived?
Heather Headly - Aida
Sherri Renee Scott - Aida
Rebecca Luker - Phantom of the Opera (still have a crush on her all these years later - such a class act)
Harvey in the most recent revival of La Cage - so much fun.
Victoria Clark - Light in the Piazza
These are just a few that come to mind at the moment.
