Broadway married voices that I would travel back in time to double marry in Utah:
* Tony Vincent (http://www.tonyvincent.com/pages/a_better_way) and Aspen Miller Vincent (http://wn.com/Aspen_Miller)


I know the list is heavy with people from Spring Awakening, American Idiot, and In the Heights. I think that's a large part of why I kept going back to those shows over and over, rather than the list being biased by my love for the shows, but a fangirl can't really be objective about such matters.

What do you think? Do you think some of my choices are crazy? Am I crazy for leaving off some of your favorites?


*** I don't want to marry the people. Some of them I probably wouldn't even enjoy talking to. But I am head-over-heels for their voices.

  1. This is a great list! I'd marry Audra McDonald but I think she's taken. :-(

  2. I'll probably be in love with Audra's voice too, but I haven't seen/heard her yet. Looking forward to Porgy & Bess at the end of September, though!
