~Sissi

[Annie]

I second Bernadette. She is a living legend.

Annie

[MrsJamieWellerstein]

Peters or Lansbury.

[Guest]

Gleason for of course Into the Woods.

Lansbury's my second favorite for Sweeney.

[Dvarg]

Dench - ALNM
Lansbury - Sweeney Todd
Peters - Sunday

[Salome]

Lansbury for Todd.
Gleason for ITW
Stritch for Company

[JemiBoe1981]

Bernadette. She seems like Sondheim's little pet. She can sing practically EVERY song by Steve beautifully. Well, thatr I have heard.

[RainbowJude]

Who is your favourite Sondheim diva and for what show? Angela Lansbury, for her hat trick (Anyone Can Whistle / Gypsy / Sweeney Todd).

Bernadette. I adore her! I remember watching her, well listening to her in Anastasia when I was little as Sophie. And when I got older, Into the Woods(my all-time favorite and current musical) and other shows.

[dramaqueen220222]

Bernadette, for her performance as the Witch in ITW, and Dot in Sunday...

Although, Angie is brilliant as Lovett as well.

[The REAL Ciaron]

I am gonna go with Angela Lansbury. "Anyone Can Whistle", "Gyspy" and "Sweeney".

[javertsw]

I'm going to say Elaine Stritch

[La Boheme]

I agree with Angela Lansbury, because of ACW, Sweeney and Gypsy.

For favorite diva performances not considering number...

Alexis Smith, OBC Follies
Gleason, ITW
