don't put a question mark.. (and I can't believe I'm responding to one of your posts)
But, IMO, Sutton Foster (now that Patti is no longer on BRoadway atm)

For some reason, I'm not a big fan of female voices, even though I am female.
I still am astonished whenever I hear Kristin Chenoweth sing something that isn't from Wicked, though I guess she's not technically on Broadway right now.

Posted: 2/2/09 at 7:07amI find her incredibly bland as an actor, but I'd have to say Kelli O'Hara has one of the best voices on Broadway right now.

Audra McDonald, Laura Benanti, Marin Mazzie ... Josefina Scaglione.
Edit: Rebecca Luker, although I'm not sure if she's been in anything recently.

Posted: 2/2/09 at 10:56amMy personal favorites are Sherie Rene Scott and Michele Pawk-although both of them are not performing on Broadway at the current moment.

Posted: 2/2/09 at 11:24amisn't Rebecca Luker still in Mary Poppins? I wanted to say her, too, but I wasn't positive.
