Broadway stars you want to be in a West End musical

[Taboolie2]

Let me start the ball rolling(please, please, please can we have) :-

1. Raul Esparza (best voice ever to grace this earth)
2. Will Chase (just listen to A Song for You from Smash on YouTube)
3. Norbert leo Butz
4. Jeremy Jordan
5. James Barbour

Ooh, and while we are at it, from Hollywood,how about Gerard Butler, Johnny Depp or Joaquin Phoenix?

[bob8rich]

James Barbour, I would most certainly agree with. He is awesome - would love to see him on a West End stage. And also the awesomeness that is Alice Ripley!

Oh, and - of course - Bernadette!

[carriesparkle]

Barbour's been seen on a Brighton stage previously, when they did A Tale of Two Cities over here...

[bob8rich]

Yes - and they filmed it & released a DVD. I play it all the time just to hear Barbour sing I CAN'T RECALL!

[GusS]

I second Esparza, Ripley and Bernadette!

[aagaard99]

I would love if HUGH PANARO went to POTO in London.

[MusicalBoy]

James Barbour might be taking anything he can get at the moment, so west end isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

On an entirely different note, I'd love for Mandy Gonzalez, Julia Murney or Nicole Parker to come and play Elphaba.

Also, Raul Esparza, Sutton Foster, Bernadette Peters, Jan Maxwell, Carolee Carmello, Christian Borle, Kristin Chenoweth, Michael Cerveris, Angela Lansbury, Audra McDonald, Rory O'Malley, Jessica Lee Goldyn, Aaron Tveit, Spencer Kayden, Will Swenson, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Katie Finneran, Stockard Channing, Laura Osnes and Emily Skinner.

I feel like I'm forgetting someone?


Edit: It was Danny Burstein.

[Taboolie2]

Ooo, I forgot Alice Ripley. I'd love her to bring next to Normal over or even Side show.

[MusicalBoy]

^ That would be a dream, but it's approaching 20 years to late for Side Show, and her voice can't do either, sadly.

[ClapYo'Hands]

Angela Lansbury needs to return, like now.

Patti LuPone, also.

[Skywalker3]

Aaron Tveit! In Next to Normal! Please!

[Phantom of London]

I like to see Adam Pascal come back over.

Like to see Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells both come over and be in a show together, but cannot think why.

Also like to see Judy Kaye.

[Theatrical Landladies]

Brian Darcy James!

Bernadette is an absolute essential!

Patti needs to come back though we have had her in Les Mis and Sunset!
