I adore Lea Salonga! Her tone is utterly beautiful, and her control is incredible!
-
Julie Andrews still has the most magical voice EVER!!! MY Fair Lady will live forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damage or not she is pure magic!!!😊
-
Ramin Karimloo not even getting a mention is a travesty. I LOVE his performance as the Phantom! Sierra Borges should have a spot as well. Christy Altomare as Anastasia is superb especially those of us in the Alto range.
-
Lea Salonga’s voice hasn’t changed. Clear diction and excellent control. Such a talent. And to think that she still performs to date. Had the pleasure of watching her perform twice and one of the best of her generation. Also very beautiful. Doesn’t shy away from a 101% performance. The best Fantine ever
-
To say Angela Lansbury found easy success does an incredible disservice to the work she put in to get where she did. She was typecast constantly as a side characters in Hollywood and struggled to find a foothold on Broadway. Her life story is incredible and deserves a spotlight as much as her storied career.
-
Brian Stokes Mitchell should have a spot in this list
-
Jennifer's Holliday has one of those voices that gives me goosebumps. So powerful and gorgeous ❤
-
How is nobody mentioning SIERRA BORGES?!?! My all time favorite broadway actress with the most incredible and iconic voice!!
-
I really expected Liza Minnelli to be included in this list, 4 Tony awards and youngest Tony award winner!
-
Fun fact: After her Tony award win, Lea Salonga was denied a reading, let me repeat...a reading to play Eliza Dolittle in a Broadway stage production of "My Fair Lady" because she was Asian. She was able to play Eliza in a Philippine stage production. The Les Miz composers were also stunned by this and may have played a role in casting her as Eponine and Fantine in the live productions.

Taking it all the way back to when Broadway book musicals began in the late 20s with “Showboat”…Paul Robeson was an unforgettable singer and really one of the first Black stars. Listen to his “Ol’ Man River,” it’s a revelation.
-
Ramin Karimloo going undrafted is a sin. I have seen him in NYC twice this year, and with no formal training, I love his voice. I got to meet him after the show, and he’s so humble. He also sang til I hear you sing from LND and I straight up sobbed
-
Rest in peace, Angela Lansbury, the most iconic Ms Lovett, rivalled only by Helena Bonham Carter. You'll be forever missed.
-
I’m shocked to not see Barbra Streisand she’s possibly the most influential voice to come from Broadway not be here but I’m happy at Audra McDonald at #1
-
Sutton foster has my heart. She’s a triple threat. And such a goofball which I love 💜💜
-
Hearing Audra live at my college was one of the most magical experiences of my life
-
I wanna add some more to the list: Harvey Fierstein, Jonathan Groff, Taye Diggs, Leslie Odom, Jr., Ben Platt, Daveed Diggs, Jerry Orbach, Neil Patrick Harris, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Nathan Lane, Matthew Morrison, Jordan Fisher, Matthew Broderick, Christy Altomare, Carol Burnett, Lea Michele, Eva Noblezada, Sierra Boggess, Annaleigh Ashford, Christine Baranski and Sarah Jessica Parker
-
The absolute travesty of having Ramin in the beginning not to even have him in the honourable mentions 😭😂
-
Years ago I was privileged to see the incredible Miss Pearl Bailey play the lead in “Hello Dolly” at the Dallas Summer Musicals and she was marvelous! The cast was both white and black but Pearl Bailey was a stand-out….and after the end of the musical, she came out on stage for a fantastic Q & A that lasted for over an hour. It was amazing because you surely don’t get to see that very often.
