(luvtheEmcee) Hehe, however you want to put it. If you want to name 1 actors then 10 actresses you can. Doesn't matter! Its all up to you!

well... ugh this was hard, since a lot of people I would put on here aren't on Broadway RIGHT NOW. but, here goes: (Not really in top 10 order, just my 10 best. THAT would require way too much thought)
*Kristin Chenoweth *Idina Menzel *Joel Grey *Sutton Foster *Bernadette Peters *Hugh Jackman *Euan Morton (I can't WAIT to see him in Taboo!) *Noah Racey (because of his dancing ability. His singing is that not great) *Hugh Panaro *Raul Esparza
now, in light of the comment above my list, snaps to Adam Pascal, Patrick Wilson, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Susan Egan, Lea Salonga, Sherie Rene Scott and others who have recently been on Broadway that had they still been on now, would have been on my list.
Brian Stokes Mitchell John Dossett Daniel Sunjata Raul Esparza Marc Calamia Roxane Carrasco Tracy Shayne Michele Pawk Donna Lynne Champlin Michelle Marie Robinson

Yo... this is hard. But I'm bored... so I threw down some names. These were just ten off the top of my head. Didn't put a lot of thought into it... and there's no specific order.

A lot of you are naming people who aren't currently on Broadway...Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marissa Jaret Winokur and Emily Skinner aren't CURRENTLY on Broadway. The question pertained to people on Broadway right now.
Um... one would ASSUME that when someone says "on broadway right now" or "on broadway today" they mean todays generation of performers, not literally who is ON broadway at this very moment.
If we want to get technical... Marc isn't on Broadway either. He's off-broadway. Susan's not on broadway... her show closed and she's not in Millie yet.
I think you are being FAR too literal...

Why aren't I surprised by this tired list? Hugh Jackman is the only person on this thread mentioned, that actually deserves the mention. Matt Morrison? Come on people.
