Meghann Fahy (Next to Normal)

they're all just amazing. and to do such challenging roles/shows is a hard thing to do as an understudy!
1) Jay Armstrong Johnson- I can't sing his praises enough. He is phenomenal as Claude (and in Ryan Scott Oliver concerts) and he will be a star. I've seen every actor to play the role in the park and on Broadway and he is my favorite.
2) Paris Remillard- Another amazing Claude. He really makes the role his own.
3) I didn't see Aaron Lazar in A Little Night Music, but I can't picture him as Carl-Magnus. Bradley Dean was perfect for the role.
4) Steel Burkhardt- OK. I didn't see his Berger, but he is so great in the tribe that I imagine his Berger is awesome.
5) Van Hughes- He didn't go on when I saw American Idiot, but I've seen him in other shows and he rocks.
Haven Burton
Jessica Philips (she is truly AMAZING!!)
Paris Remillard
Steel Burkhardt
Michael Berry
Haven Burton
Jay Armstrong Johnson
Jessica Phillips
Meghann Fahy
Libby Winters (American Idiot)- Her Heather is great, but she's completely awesome in her own track.
Meghann Fahy (Next to Normal)- No offense to Jenn but I loved Meghann much better.
Jackie Burns (Hair)- Her voice was beautiful and powerful, she had fantastic chemistry with Gavin & Will, and her acting was amazing.
Van Hughes (American Idiot)- To have to be standby for the three very different leads of AI must be difficult but he's always really and he finally was able to go as "Tunny" and he was great.
Tim Young (Next to Normal)- I saw him go on as "Henry" and he was great with Meghann's "Natalie." Miss him.
Haven Burton (Shrek)
Lauren Ashley Zarkin (Legally Blonde Tour)
Lauren Ashley Zarkin: When I saw her on tour every other performance for when it was in my town was by LBB but when I saw Lauren she had an amazing voice, she really recreated the role in an incredibly talented way and was just brilliant in the role and it looked like she enjoyed playing Elle!!!

Haven Burton: When I saw her in Shrek her voice was just magical she is truley talented!!
Jessica Phillips: Amazing Actress and singer in a difficult role
Doreen Montalvo: Brings a saucy flair to Daniela
Michael Berry: Amazing interpretation of Dan, and just amazing as the Doctors
Jessica Phillips
Meghann Fahy
Michael Berry
Tim Young
Jayne Patterson
Jayne Paterson - She is warm, endearing, charming, and utterly heartbreaking as Desiree. Everything Catherine Zeta-Jones was not, and more...I've been lucky enough to see her 3 times, and she's just continued to get better and add more layers to her already gorgeous performance. Haters to the left.

Jessica Phillips - I saw her for the first time recently, and she played the role in such a different way than Alice Ripley does, and it worked so beautifully. Her Diana is more quiet, more reserved, and more self-aware, which makes her tragic in such a different way. Seeing her play opposite Brian d'Arcy James was one of the more moving theatrical experiences I've had in a very long time.

Meghann Fahy - Her voice is stunning, and I thought she played 16 more believably than Jennifer Damiano. I adore her Natalie, and I've been lucky enough to see her twice.

Paris Remillard - I got to see him as Claude in Hair and I was blown away by him. He has a beautiful voice, and since he reads so much younger than Gavin Creel, it was all the more heartbreaking to see him laid out on the American flag at the end of Let the Sun Shine In.
Just commenting to let myself know I've tallied up to this point. Keep voting!
