I agree with Mr GrumpyMorningBoy. They're two different styles and voices. I think, however, that many Classical instrumentalists can do jazz and popular music well -- But, when I've seen amazing ballerinas on the stage in roles that were not written for Ballerina characters, I'm not cringing, but they're not Chita or Gwen either.

Great comparison.

And that's why musical theatre dance is so different from ballet. Obviously nearly all Broadway dance stems from ballet, but if we don't believe that you're a character up there, you're in the wrong genre. - MB
