It depends on the material,
In a musical it would be Elena Roger, in Drama it would be Maggie Smith or Richard Griffiths (can't make my mind up!) and in a Comedy there is no contest at all, Julie Walters.

My favourite is Shona Lindsay.
She has such a wondeful voice too, she was my favourite Christine in Phantom.
Don't dream it..be it!

My favourites tend more towards people who I find give the most surprising performances, or who have come the furthest since I first saw them, than those who are the best. I have quite a few favourites, actually, and I won't list them all because in many cases they're not the best although they do have a huge amount of potential. (Annoyingly, many of those I like somewhat self-centredly believe that they're my one and only favourite.)

But I will name one person who has delivered outstanding performances time and time again, and that's Julie Atherton. At Avenue Q a few weeks ago I was sitting in front of an actor who, at the start of the interval, turned to a companion and said "She is —ing amazing. I wish I could do that." Sums it up perfectly.
In my opinion anyone interested in improving himself should not rule out becoming pure energy.

I like Laura Bell Bundy, Kerry Butler and Kerry Ellis (Got to be one of the best Fantine's ever). But there are so many great performers out there who I haven't had a chance to see yet.

Couldnt agree more. Julie is absolutely amazing, constantly consistent and always gives a fantastic, flawless performance. She wows me everytime I go to Avenue Q and the workshop of Apocalypse WOW she starred in last week was equally as brilliant. Thrilled that shes staying on at Avenue Q til December.

Another performer that always gives 110% and an outstanding performance everytime is Scarlett Strallen, who is also the loveliest person ever!! Roll on May when she's back in Mary Poppins!!!
