Jeremy Jordan for sure

@Majestic-Yeti83 11 ай бұрын

Carmen Cusack. She has done Phantom of the Opera and Wicked and if that doesn't show how much of a powerhouse she is then I don't know what does. Bright Star is by far my favorite musical of all time and it honestly gets no recognition but she is great. Also her costar Paul Alexander Nolan (also from Bright Star) can hit a G#4 with very little effort and he is incredible.

I saw Ramin and clicked and was eagerly waiting for his position. I got slightly worried as it got to the top three and he still hadn’t been mentioned. For him to be 1st just made me smile so much. I adore Ramin. He’s easily one of my favourite actors and performers and I absolutely adored watching him in Funny girl, Anastasia and Phantom. He just owns everything he does and I’m so glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves

I saw Ramin in Les Mis, Anastasia and Funny Girl. One of my favorite Broadway memories is that I was prepping to audition for a community theatre production of Les Mis. I stopped him on the street in between shows and asked him for advice. He stood there and talked to me for at least 20 minutes giving me advice. Not only is he an incredibly talented performer but he loves his fans! Not to mention that he’s also gorgeous!

Ramin absolutely deserves the number one spot. I’ve only heard him do Phantom but that alone is good enough for him to be number one. His voice is insanely beautiful and powerful!

I think The Color Purple was her only Broadway role. She’s definitely one of the greatest singers to EVER grace Broadway, but her Broadway resume is far less than Ramin! I think this list is actually the most accurate one, imo!

He originated the role of Pierre in Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 and recently has taken on the role of Sweeney Todd in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and was nominated for Tonys in both roles. He also played the role of The Beast in the television special Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration.
