Post title: “Be the Hero” from Big Fish
The Broadway community is so vast and spans so many generations that, aside from being a diverse group of people, theatre folk have many, many idols to look up to. I’ve created a list of people who are what one might call heroes or heroines in the Broadway community. They range in age from 90+ years old to adolescent. They’re people audiences buy tickets to see. They’re people who might have their names billed above the title of a show. The best part about this list is that it’s nowhere near complete. I could name twice as many people who belong on this list. For now I will only name 30.
Obviously, it’s impossible to include everyone. There is no pecking order to the people I’ve chosen. I’ll list them alphabetically by last name and include links to their social media pages, personal website, or more information about them.
Have many names do you recognize? Which ones do you think I should have included, but didn’t? Who are your Broadway heroes and heroines?

I recognize every name haha! You’re missing out the one and only Lea Salonga. I can’t help but notice she was missing, especially since I grew up with Aladdin and am obsessed with her voice since then.
