| It really depends on the meaning of "bway superstar"... the OP was SURELY not saying LuPone is on the level of fame or box office power as any of the people you listed, and I think you know it. As far as stars who are stars on broadway specifically, without having a sustained and global TV, film and/or music recording career... yes, LuPone is a broadway superstar. That's not that same as a superstar who is doing broadway. Bernadette isn't in the fame or BO power league of those people either, but she is a Broadway superstar. Same with Audra. |

| I consider there to be a difference between Star and Superstar. I think Patti is a Star. | |

| this is why i thought to differentiate superstar on broadway vs broadway superstar. I do think you can be a broadway superstar (Patti, Audra, Chita, Bernadette, Chenoweth, Patinkin) without being a superstar (Jackman, Midler). Because there are also Broadway stars who are not "broadway superstar" level. I'd put into this: Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marin Mazzie (RIP), Alice Ripely, Sheri Renee Scott, Gavin Creel (though he's creeping toward superstar), Patina Miller, Christine Ebersole. I would actually argue that Sutton is in this category and not bway superstar as some would put her in. I think Kelli is here too. I think Nathan Lane is interesting because he's more famous and a bigger box office draw than any of the other Bway Superstars I think, even if just slightly (depending on the show too, as with any of them), but is obviously not a global superstar in the realm of Jackman or MIdler. |

| Chazwaza, thank you for explaining so clearly what one would have thought is clear, but obviously is not clear to the person to whom you're responding.... | |
