Best Female Broadway Singers

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.

Lea Salonga has an angel's voice and is perfect because she can not only sing but also add emotion to her Broadway character. Lea is above and beyond and has a very unique voice. Have you seen her in Miss Saigon, she sounded so beautiful and her work for Disney made me love her even more.

I love the way she sing so clear and she is very talented and very busy person I know...

No one can beat Lea's crystal clear voice, so much passion and best technique.

Won Tony Award for portraying as Kim in Ms Saigon. Won Laurence Olivier award and she sung in Mulan and Jasmine. Great vooice.

Nicole Scherzinger the best. Best Christine Daaé I've heard. She and Ramin Karimloo should perform together again! Stunning chemistry.

15 Sutton Foster

She is the best!

16 Phillipa Soo

How is she 16th? she deserves top 5. her voice is so Angelic(a) as Eliza in Hamilton and her vocals in the song Take a Break are very underrated and tend to go unnoticed we all love you Phillipa <3

She has an angel's voice, it's just beautiful and sounds amazing and she is my all time favorite actress. She is incredible at acting as well.

She was absolutely stunning as Eliza. Her voice is comparable to that of an angel's, it's amazing.

17 Barbra Streisand Barbara Joan Streisand, known professionally as Barbra Streisand, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and filmmaker.

The fact that she's not on this list, let alone at #1, worries me. Barbra Streisand is the mother of broadway, and the greatest vocalist of Broadway. Every note is supported, resonance, and with a neutral larynx. Healthy vibrato, and stellar breath control that allows her to hold notes for over 20 seconds at a time. She deserves to be number 1, and the fact that she's not on this list is-in a way, extremely disrespectful.

I saw her in hello dolly and loved it!

18 Barrett Wilbert Weed

She slays all day.

19 Samantha Barks
20 Sarah Brightman Sarah Brightman is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, musician, songwriter, conductor, and dancer.
21 Renée Elise Goldsberry

Renee Elise Goldsberry blew me away in her performance in Hamilton it's obvious she was the best in the movie!

This saint portrayed an amazing woman, Angelica Schuyler, and even though she's 46, she can hit that high note and still make me cry!

22 Lea Michele Lea Michele Sarfati is an American actress, singer and author. She began her career as a child actress on Broadway, appearing in productions of Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening.

Love this singer/actress..!

23 Laura Osnes

She is amazing in everything she is in! She also seems really nice in person.

24 Christy Altomare

Anastasia. The kindest, sweetest person you will ever meet. Her voice is amazing, I could listen to it all day
