Broadway Divas Tournament: Round 1D

Broadway's leading soprano, Tony winner, and critic darling, Kelli O'Hara (1976) is the sole reason I didn't make this poll a 50+ affair. With seven Tony nominations, Kelli has received acclaim for every role she's ever had since 2005, including South Pacific (2008), The King and I (2015), and Kiss Me, Kate (2019). She is one of the few musical theatre actresses to successfully cross over into opera. Her divine performance in The Hours (2022) will play an encore run this coming season. Kelli will take her final bow in Days of Wine and Roses (2024) this Sunday.

Heather Headley (1974) is a Tony-winning actress and successful recording artist. She began her career in 1996 understudying for Audra McDonald in Ragtime. She went on to play star turns in Aida (2000), The Lion King (1997), and The Color Purple (2016). She played The Witch in the NYCC Encores! production of Into the Woods, but did not move to Broadway with the transfer. In 2010, she won a Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album.

PROPAGANDA AND MEDIA UNDER CUT: ALL POLLS HERE

"Kelli O'Hara's high notes are a sexual experience. Listening to her crystal clear lyrical soprano fill a Broadway theatre is the closest thing you will ever get to divinity on earth. It's extremely difficult to sing up the scale as she does and still retain a clear and precise diction in the lyrics, but Kelli doesn't sacrifice an ounce of the lyrics' integrity. As she's gotten older, she's been able to develop the rich lower register of her range, and it is sublime. I am deeply in love with this woman. She is, in all ways, the legacy and successor of Marin Mazzie and Rebecca Luker. Who else could possibly take over Marin's Mother in the Ragtime reunion concert? Also, have you *seen* her arms? She could run a marathon with me on her back without breaking a sweat."

"Heather Headley doesn't do much Broadway, all things considered, but when she does, it's wonderful. Listening to her sing "Too Beautiful for Words" stole my breath away. I was less blown-away with her Witch for Into the Woods, if I'm being honest, but it was still wonderful to see her back on stage."

Sweet Magnolias: Season 1 (2020) 🪦

A shining beacon of mediocrity aimed at a very narrow demographic, representing how Netflix has stopped trying.

She's the hitch, she's what no one believes, she's The Witch from Into the Woods (10)

Donna Murphy (Central Park, 2012 - 53 years old) Emily Skinner (Houston, 2016 - 46) Beth Leavel (Pittsburgh CLO, 2009 - 54) Heather Headley (NYCC Encores!, 2022 - 46) Carolee Carmello: (Pittsburgh CLO, 2023 - 60) Lea Salonga (Singapore, 1994 - 23) Vanessa Williams (Broadway Revival, 2022 - 39) Bernadette Peters (Broadway Original, 1987 - 39)

Not Pictured: Betty Buckley (Original workshop, 1986 - 39), Marin Mazzie (u/s Witch, Original Broadway - 29)

Donna Murphy, Emily Skinner, Beth Leavel, Carolee Carmello, Heather Headley, Vanessa Williams, Bernadette Peters.

If you haven't been in a production of Into the Woods, are you even alive? The Witch is a rich role rift with villainy, yet far from evil. She provides the backbone to the show's central messages on morality and motherhood. "Last Midnight" has the power to make or break the whole damn show.

The Witch's ultimate fate remains shrouded in ambiguity. The freedom for director interpretation has gifted us with such delightful variety. Bernadette Peters descends in a cloud of smoke on the stage elevator, Donna Murphy is dragged into the ground by a tree creature thing, Heather Headley is seized by a giant pair of puppet hands*, Carolee Carmello freefalls backwards still belting her face off. The possibilities are endless and fascinating. The script says "she disappears. Long pause." Discuss what you think happens and you would do in your production down in the notes.

*not Heather Headley in the clipped portion, but same production design.

So happy to see “Sweet Magnolias” got renewed for season 3!!! :D My Mom and I both love this show. Glad to see not everything at Netflix is in danger like so many thought after the subscriber loss/stock news last month. Just means their shows have to have better ratings just like the other networks/steamers.

HEATHER HEADLEY SINGING IN THE BOSTON POP AND BEING BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY!!!!

#Heather Headley

[black-is-beautiful18]

No because that rubbed me completely the wrong way. Why on earth would you say Patina Miller is a budget anything to Heather or any other actress??? Especially when these are two Black actresses who have had amazing careers on broadway. The same place that will only allow a certain amount of Black performers and performers of color in general in their productions…All cuz you don’t like that the production of Into The Woods transferring to broadway. You can’t be serious.
