Best Broadway Musical Characters

The Top Ten

1 Angelica Schuyler Church (Hamilton)

Honestly my favorite character. She is so strong and brave, will say anything to anybody, and is so caring. Not to mention she's a huge feminist!
Include women in the sequel; WORK!

Love this girl!

2 Veronica Sawyer (Heathers the Musical)

Wait, I don't think this was ever on Broadway

She is amazing

3 Aaron Burr (Hamilton)

The character of Burr in this musical is a work of genius. Like many have said, it would have been typical to make Burr just another terribleness person that was only a cold hearted villain, but Lin went in depth with his character and we truly get to see Burr for who he is- a human. He is just an interesting character with so many layers.

4 Romeo (Newsies)

5 Elphaba Thropp (Wicked)

Reasons why Elphaba should be number one
1. She is caring for her sister
2. She's powerful
3. She is not flawless like most lead characters are.
4. She has some of the best songs
5. All her outfits are snazzy

10. She helped a lion learn to speak.
11. She turned away glory for the greater good
12. I love her hat!
13. And her cloak
14. Chisery is such a cool monkey
15. She can FLY
16. She helped Nessa walk
17. She saved Boq
18. Her lover is HOT(I had a crush on Fiyero from ages 5-10)
19. She saved Fiyero
20. She tricked oz
21. She changed Glinda "for good"
22. She still saw the beauty in Fiyero after he became a scarecrow.
23. SHE SAVED OZ!

5? Needs to be higher, but understandable since people have different opinions.

She is absolutely gorgeous!

6 Katherine Plumber (Newsies)

7 Miss Honey (Matilda the Musical)

Such a sweetheart!

8 Bonnie Parker (Bonnie & Clyde)

9 Benjamin Coffin III (Rent)

10 Connor Murphy (Dear Evan Hansen)

I rub my nipples and I moan with delight- this guy is honestly pretty funny

The Contenders

11 Christine (The Phantom of the Opera)

12 Matilda Wormwood (Matilda the Musical)

13 Eliza Hamilton (Hamilton)

14 Erik (The Phantom of the Opera)

15 Fiyero (Wicked)

SO CUTE, even after he becomes a scarecrow!

Such a winky prince

16 Eponine Thenardier (Les Miserables)

I feel like I'm the only one who didn't really like her? She was kind of annoying, the way she followed Marius around and just wouldn't leave him alone.She just couldn't accept the fact that he had no feelings for her at all. She kept doing all these things to get him to like her and didn't know when to just give up.

I totally disagree with the comment before this. She is a perfect representation of the character who is affected by the plot and characters in ways you wouldn't notice unless told. She is a lot like Peron's Mistress from Evita.

17 Crutchie (Newsies)

How is he not first!?!? SO adorable and just enjoys life. Even in the refuge he's optimistic. He is the greatest broadway character, I can't express my love for him.

Crutchie should get more credit

18 John Laurens (Hamilton)
