I figured, this is a theatre/movie blog and all I have on here is about movies. So, I'm going to post my first theatre related blog entry.
First off, I would like to give a list of some of my favorite performers.
Alice Ripley.
She is just spectacular. She has done performances on Broadway from many shows including: Side Show (Violet Hilton), The Rocky Horror Show Revival (Janet Weiss), and, her most recent performance, Next to Normal (Diana).
First off: Alice is fierce! ([title of show], anyone?) She really throws her whole spirit into anything she does. Her characters are so vivid and alive and her voice is phenomenal.
I could listen to her sing all day... And most of the time, I do!
George Hearn
Anyone who is familiar with Sweeney Todd, have most likely heard this name.
George Hearn has performed in the Touring company of Sweeney Todd and originated as Sweeney Todd in the Concert version of the show. He has also performed in La Cage Aux Folles as Albin/Zsa Zsa.
He has an amazing operatic voice and hearing him sing 'Epiphany' truly astounds me every time.
Norm Lewis
Norm is... just AMAZING! Period.
His voice is so smooth an he is just so energetic in his roles. My personal favorite Norm role was when he played Jake in Side Show. 'You Should Be Loved' is the best song he has ever performed... EVER!
Gavin Creel
If you have heard him sing then you will feel the same. He is fantastic!
He has played Jimmy in Thoroughly Modern Millie, and performed in the Actor's Fund Concert edition of Hair. Hearing him sing 'What Do I Need With Love' or 'Going Down' will astound you.
He has a truly amazing voice.
Here is one of my favorite performances ever:
