Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, and More Weigh in on Which Broadway Cast Recordings They Have Memorized
By: Stephi Wild Jun. 14, 2019
It's the question that swept Twitter yesterday: if someone offered you $1 Million to sing an entire Broadway cast recording from memory, which would you choose?
Someone has offered you $1,000,000 on the condition that you sing through an entire Broadway soundtrack from memory. It cannot be a show you've performed in. You cannot miss a single word. Which one you going with?

The question was posed by writer Kendra James on Twitter yesterday, and the response blew up. Even some of Broadway's notable names, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, Jane Lynch, Julia Murney, and more, weighed in!
Check out some of the stars' responses!
Rent. Man Of La Mancha. Hedwig. A Chorus Line. Les Miserables.

I could get to the million on any of those, but Hedwig is the shortest distance.

Fiddler On The Roof or My Fair Lady. But I'd probably mess up on the long monologue songs. https://t.co/BXGxhcfjVO
