15 Best Broadway Singers of All Time
Broadway singers, the vocal virtuosos of the theater world, bring the magic of musicals to life through their exceptional voices
Broadway singers, the vocal virtuosos of the theater world, bring the magic of musicals to life through their exceptional voices and dramatic flair. These performers are the heart and soul of Broadway productions, enchanting audiences with their ability to convey emotion, tell stories, and showcase unparalleled vocal talents.
The list consists of:
- Ethel Merman
- Julie Andrews
- Barbara Cook
- Patti LuPone
- Bernadette Peters
- Audra McDonald
- Angela Lansbury
- Kristin Chenoweth
- Lin-Manuel Miranda
- Mandy Patinkin
- Lea Salonga
- Idina Menzel
- Brian Stokes Mitchell
- Hugh Jackman
- Leontyne Price
Hard to argue with the likes of Julie Andrews, Barbara Cook and Audra McDonald, but some of the choices on this list are... interesting. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a top-tier talent, a real polymath, but his singing is at best acceptable. Same with Hugh Jackman. Strange choices for a website called "The Singers Room". And has Leontyne Price done any musicals other than Porgy and Bess (which a lot of people, including the Gershwins, classify as an opera)?
