The Top Ten
1 Lea Salonga Filipina singer and actress Lea Salonga has released nine studio albums, three live recordings and is involved in at least ten cast recordings.

Can't spell Clear without Lea! Her voice is brilliant and clear, and her acting in this role is incredible! You can tell she really felt the role, became the role. I think she brings a true state of desperation to the role of Fantine. Thank you Lea!

2 Sierra Boggess

Sierra Boggess is just incredible. She really acted a lot with this role. Not only did she sing "I dreamed a dream", she ACTED, the song… Am I crazy because I think you can act a song? I don't know… Anyway, she really brought a new life to this character. Oh and she also looks good with blonde hair! 😂 Thank you Sierra!

3 Ruthie Henshall
4 Randy Graff
5 Patti LuPone
6 Rachel York
7 Cassie Levy
8 Celinde Schoenmaker
9 Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway really poured her heart into this role and into "I dreamed a dream". Also, for you who don't know, she only had to do one take of "I dreamed a dream" because she NAILED IT. She has the perfect balance of singing, and emotion. Thank you Anne!
