She can do drama and comedy as well as any British Shakespeare trained actor. My eyes are glued to her when she’s in a scene. Throw her into Downton Abbey with Shirley McClain or Grandmama, she’s going to hold her own!

MacFarlane though should definitely be near top of the list imo. ...and for basically the same reason, Niel Patrick Harris. Sure today he's mainly a "musical theater guy", but he certainly wasn't when cast as Dougie Howser.

As long as we are talking about Chicago, to me the big shocker was John C. Reilly doing Mr. Celophane. That was an incredible rendition. Then there was the shocker of hearing Lyndsey Lohan in A Prairie Home Companion surrounded by all that singing talent holding her own. That was an interesting version of Frankie and Johnnie. And Virginia Madsen infuriates me because you have to ask if there is anything that that woman can not do. The list of people is endless that were surprising as singers. Jennifer Lawrence doing Hanging Tree in the third Hunger Games is another example. Such a sultry, earthy performance that was. And she said that frightened her more than anything else she did for the entire movie series. And what about Hugh Grant in Music And Lyrics? That was really Drew and Hugh and Haley doing their own singing in the film.

@bluestraggler3815 9 ай бұрын

Haley's songs in Music and Lyrics are great! The Hugh Grant is also great but it's obviously a bit novelty/comedy/pastiche whereas Haley's songs could seriously stand on their own as real pop.

@bluestraggler3815 Haley is an actual pop singer turned actress. Hugh Grant is an exceptional actor trained specifically to sing and play those songs. You were utterly dead on in your assessment of the relative qualities of the sounds and feels their music produces. That is why there are the differences you noted.

I knew Hugh Laurie from 'Fry & Laurie' , as George from the Blackadder series and later as Dr. House. But I was really surprised to know he is a jazz/blues crooner and as a student was part of a winning Oxford crew in the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race , and trained to reach the Olympics too !

Daniel Portman as Sir Podrick Payne from Game of Thrones. In the second episode of Season 8, he really took everyone, even the crew members, by surprise when he let his voice loose by singing the song “Jenny of Oldstones.” Everyone on set fell completely dead silent and frozen and were completely captivated by his amazing performance. He nailed it so perfectly they only had to film that scene once! That scene never fails to amaze me! Portman could really have an amazing singing career as well!

I don't know where you are, but if you can get to NYC, fly or take a train or run to Broadway and see it now. This revival is spectacular and I would kill to see it. 😀 If not there is 1981 filming of the show in LA with Angela Lansbury and George Hearn and it's pretty great. Burton cut out the chorus. Have you heard that? It is vital to the show. Sondheim wrote a lot of the score to be belted, like opera. Seriously, get to the show or get the recording. Your life will be complete.

He is the reason My Friends and A Little Priest (alongside Helena Bonham Carter) are my 2 favorite Sondheim songs along with Agony from Into the Woods. I went to see Sweeney in the movie theater and was stunned by how great his voice is.

@kyrilascully7828 27 күн бұрын

Johnny would be quite embarrassed to be on the list as he doesn't see himself as a singer of any value. He only sometimes sings back up when he plays on stage with his rock star friends. He much prefers to stay out of the "lead singer" category.

While not a household name, actress Jasika Nicole had a supporting role in all 5 seasons of the tv show Fringe. She got to show off her gorgeous voice in the season 2 episode 'Brown Betty.' She was acknowledged as the 'most accomplished musical person in the cast.' Fantastic voice. I only became aware of her musical theater studies and background after that show wrapped.
