- this video is not a definitive list, there are obviously many many more triple threat actors out there but a video can only be so long you know
please don’t hate on me for not including laura bell bundy, donna mckechnie etc i have my reasons - Розваги
Literally another example of why Sharpay deserved the role. Sharpay WAS a triple threat. Gabriella could sing, but that was basically it. She didn’t really have much stage presence and nobody knew if she could dance or not. Sharpay would have gotten the role had this been real life.
FACT
I’m not even a fan of Gabriella’s voice
Remember, the hardest and most noticeable role in any movie is the antagonist. Sharpay KILLED the damn role. Hence, she was remembered for such skillz
@@ryanjoshuacalo9146 Agreed! The antagonist is always the first character you think of!
EmberTheatre sharply was always my favorite I had like 5 Sharpay Barbie dolls in all of her different outfits and one came with her car. I was living LARGE with all my Sharpays, it was really the life
sutton foster’s legs went ↖️⬆️↙️⬅️⬇️↗️↖️➡️↖️⬆️
Assorted Faves 😂🤣🤣
Honey, sutton could beat thanos with those legs
Wait a minute is this dance dance revolution
this video called me untalented 87 different ways
Don’t take it personally!!!!!!! Not everything is happening to YOU! There’s so many talented people in the world and you are one of them, just because someone else is talented doesn’t mean you aren’t! Someone can be beautiful and so can you, just because they are good doesn’t mean you aren’t
Emmy Slichta aww :) thanks
Oh muh God this was the most wholesome thread
I felt this comment on a spiritual level.
Then I read the reply and felt happier.
Well this is musical theatre, as long as you can still sing “modernly” then it’s still fine
there should be a fourth threat and the fourth threat is being able to wear any colored wig and LOOK GOOD IN IT
*sutton foster*
sutton foster would still make the list.
@suttonfoster
The fourth one is "having legs for days"
That’s honestly a power move
"you can't sing and dance in musical theater without acting" say that to the girl my director keeps casting as our leads smh
Do we go to the same school?
Shots being fired so much Alexander would be proud
😂😂😂
Sutton Foster is proof that you can belt high notes eight times a week for years and years and it doesn't "tire out" your voice. Because of proper technique she can still do everything she could do 15 years ago. If someones voice is getting worse over time, it's because they've been singing with unhealthy habits. So young performers should take good care of themselves so they can keep singing for a long time.
holy h e c k that's more likes than I was expecting.
Rock The Dwayne Johnson (@Barrett Wilbert Weeb)
take note, idina and barrett
@@clarabrandaog hey now, idina menzel and barret are still good. but they do use unhealthy ways that may strain their voice, but they're good singers nonetheless
I love this. I'm so tired of UA-cam comments excusing vocal exhaustion because "singing at that level will always tire out your voice!" There are some vocalists that I love and appreciate but still recognize that their technique is poor and that will cost them longevity.
i’m honestly so shocked her voice has stayed as healthy as it has. if you’ve read some of her interviews, she expressed that millie and little women were terrible for her voice. she hated being the ‘star’ and being forced to carry a show when she didn’t know how to. it took drowsy chaperone and Shrek for her to find her passion again
Why is no one talking about Renee Elise Goldsberry??? I get that Sutton Foster and other classic musical theater people are amazing actors and dancers and singers but Renee earned her place on this list!
Angelicaaaaa
Andreea Popescu all the way from London?
@@elestrial25 Actually all the way from Romania, thanks to UA-cam 😁
@@elestrial25 DAMN!!
Yessss
Um where is 8 year old me putting on a show for my stuffed animals?
You wern't just a triple threat though, you were a quadruple threat. They knew that Sharpay could never compare.
We all saw that cheeky Barrett Wilbert Weed sneak, our QUEEEEEN
Wait can I have a timestamp? I'm blind.
@@ronisawyer5371 0:40 but it's really fast
@@mulvaney6067 Thanks so much!
I saw it but I didn't understand ????...
Aine Llewellyn Barrett Wilbert Weed is the one true broadway goddess of our generation. If you search her name on YT you’ll find tons of compilations. I think she wasn’t included in this list because she doesn’t do a ton of dancing, her most well known characters are leads that don’t really have much choreography.
Let us not forget the O.G. triple threats: Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers Gene Kelly, and Sharpay Evans.
EDIT: YES of course there are more! There are so many amazing triple threats out there! I just named a few :)
Granger Disney Gawwwwwwdddd Ginger Rogers is a QUEEN
Gene Kelly was BAE back in the day 😍
Don’t forget Rita Hayworth!!!
Judy Garland too!
Bob Fosse or Gwen Verdon
*sharpay will always be the supreme triple threat*
I came back to this video to see that I liked your comment hmmmmm
Jonathan: "you're so good at EVERYTHING!"
Sutton: "hA"
I loveeee musicals where the whole ensemble is triple threats, I.e A Chorus Line and Newsies
Ann Merc lol it adds another reason why i could never make it to broadway
Ann Merc Newsies is one of my all time faves. I didn’t discover it until after it was off Broadway so I never got the chance to see it, but I watch Newsies live like once a week.
@@oliviadoesthingz4426 same
Wicked
Hamilton, wicked, cats
Sutton’s performance in The Drowsy Chaperone is literally what inspired me to do musical theatre she is such an amazing performer
Sophie B she's incredible
sutton is the reason why i take tap classes
Same but her performance in Anything Goes lol
Singing and dancing at the same time is one of the hardest things you'll ever do and keeping your cool requires so much condition. Gotta love Sutton Foster.
Slightly unrelated but I saw an article saying Beyoncé would practice singing on the treadmill. I wonder what theatre kids do to practice.
PukingPanda Beyoncé was forced at a young age by her father to do that and run miles while belting out songs and if she ran out of breath had to do it again, it was conditioning her to never get tired
I still don't understand how Sutton could do that whole tap routine and sing as if she didn't even lift a finger
Can we just talk about how Ruthie Henshall has played Roxie, Velma, AND MAMA IN CHICAGO??? An actual queen.
Cole Riney it’s too, you were right. How could I forget Billy Elliot?
AND fantine
I'm pretty sure Bebe Neuwirth has also played all three roles in CHICAGO.
@@meredithchandler73 oh really? didn't know that! well she also deserves queen status
Okay but like can we just give a shoutout to every broadway ensemble, they all have to be good at all three with much less much recognition, ensembles are filled with unnoticed triple threats
i think about this all the time
Also I think sutton, kristen Chenoweth and sierra boggess are proof you can sing really challenging stuff 8 times a week and not wreck your voice if you've got the proper technique
me: sees sutton foster in thumbnail
also me: approval noises
God, I feel soooo untalented
Literally same. As much as I love musical theatre, I think I'm better off admiring it from afar, because gawd, musical theatre performers intimidate me with their mindboggling amount of talent, range, and energy.
Everyone has talents - you don’t need to be a performer to be talented
I do feel intimidated ,but darn it if i still love performing the few skills i got. I just gotta practice and practice and ,maybe , one day, i'll get to something.
Mood
Tamanna Das i feel the exact same way! glad im not the only one lmao
Bold for you to assume that there is any triple threat other than sharpay. How dare you
And dats on *FABULOUS*
Laura Bell Bundy should be on this list just for legally blonde I mean that musical was/still is on another level
That jump at the end of So much better is just- so good. Also all of her stuff in What you want gives me life. And that's just my favourite dancing moments. God, that woman is pure talent.
my fav musical ha
Erm Jonathan Groff should have actually been included in this because he is perfection
I adore him but i didn't know he could dance. Do you have any videos of him dancing. Ya know... For research purposes.
@@jovanaspasojevic5049 Look up Jonathan Groff singing Anything Goes, doesn't dance a ton in it but he still does a good job!
@@SilvenFan888 wow ok thanks
He was the dance captain of his first Broadway show
ua-cam.com/video/Pr4bWvNTZLE/v-deo.html
That clip of Jonathan Groff is from this performance he did with Sutton Foster where they have a dance off
I know Idina Menzel isn’t a professional dancer but you have to admit that dance scene in Tango: Maureen in the movie was fireeee
Estela Ramos yeah but she ruined her voice singing with horrible technique so I’d take her singing points away lol... no one can deny she was an amazing singer but her live vocals especially in uncontrolled environments(like stage preforming) have gone so downhill
BROCCOLIBOI right, bad technique and stuff, but I don’t think that means taking her singing points away because even though her vocal chords have been damaged, she still sounds good. I mean her new album came out the other day and her belting is still on point, whether or not her technique is bad.
Technique: not so good
Sound: oooh you go girl
Estela Ramos no I totally get that she sound s great still, but really only in more controlled settings, like a studio or something. I can see her really excelling in her albums and stuff (not saying they are heavily doctored or anything, just not completely live, considering they can redo stuff and make things louder/softer and stuff). Her live performances, especially more recent ones, are really strained most of the time, I really wish she had learned better technique because she one was such a triple threat. I just don’t think you can count it now because she can’t really produce a good live sound anymore.
BROCCOLIBOI I guess, I don’t know, maybe I’m just biased because I’m a super fan. I think she’s still capable at doing great live, but we all have our own opinions 😁
@@iliveinabog3254 I was about to say "BUT FROZEN 2???" and then you said this and yeah ok.
Did you mean: *_Laura Bell Bundy_*
I wish you could retweet a comment because YES
Oml I see you everywhere
Oh *fuck* yes
I WAS LIKE WAITING FOR HER ON THIS LIST
Yesss I was waiting for her
the entire cast of a chorus line deserves to be on this list
I agree one hundred percent
9:23
Me: Okay, whose next?
*Patina Miller singing on key while hula hooping AND walking*
Don’t forget about Laura Bell Bundy. She absolutely killed it in legally blonde with the dancing, singing and acting. Another example of the gods that are triple threats
Patina Miller dancing in Pippin was literally my gay awakening soooo
The fact that you put Barret Wilbert Weed in as a joke is going to trigger so many fans but honestly it's hilarious.
@3:40
Jonathan Groff : "You're so good- at everything."
Yes.
Sutton foster compilation starts playing
Me: *hoping it is just Sutton the whole video*
Don't think I didn't catch the Barrett Wilbert Weed
Where??? I may just be blind but I do nOT see her.
@@ronisawyer5371 a few seconds in the beginning. Her name appears on screen for a sec lmao.
ok but why no compilation im angry
Our QUEEN
Livi Wold she... doesn't really dance
I would actually die for Sutton
Caroline Tobin Now all I can think about is “I would die for Claire from the Bon Appetit test kitchen”
Same. Her life's worth more
/did you mean/: *lauren lopez*
simply sophia YESSSS HER DANCING IN BLACK FRIDAY IS AMAZING AS WELL AS HER DANCING IN TGWDLM SHES AMAZING AND ROBERT MANION TOO
Her acting and dancing is very good, but I’m not a fan of her singing, it’s a bit weak
Eleanor Clark I think it depends on the song she’s singing because she’s a light lyric soprano so does better in her head voice and higher songs. I’ll be honest I wasn’t that mad on her songs in Black Friday but love her singing in firebringer
@@wrenclark4907 SORRY WHAT
@@wrenclark4907 to add to what Niamh Shipley said, she was also classically trained which sometimes is difficult translate to other musicals that sound less operatic... but anyway if you don't really like her sound that's okay too jdhdbhdd
“She also has legs for...DAYS😂”
Rachel Bloom from Crazy Ex Girlfriend is one of my favorite people ever. I think she's great at everything, but I am very biased lol. Her live show with "A diagnosis/anti-depressants are so not a big deal" literally made me start tap dancing lessons
Edit: Also, she is a quadrupla threat: dancer, singer, actor, song-writer.( and may have written some episodes for the show. This woman is the bomb)
YUP, just finished re-watching CXGF for the second time today!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
!!!!
Ann reinking's dance style is so fluid and articulate
JUSTICE FOR LAURA BELL BUNDY
I can barely sing while walking without getting really tired lmao
laura bell bundy 💖
I am so glad you included Tony Yazbeck! He is one of my favs and I honestly think he is underrated by the new generation of theater kids
Renee’s voice is just so pleasant to hear that I smile whenever she comes on
right before you put the “wow” during Tony Yazbeck dancing I whispered “wow...” and it made me laugh so hard
I love Sutton Foster. I'm still pissed that Bunheads was cancelled.
if i dont see karen olivo on this list i’m suing
edit: i’m suing
alSo excuse me where is our queen Lauren Lopez, she can sing and act and also choreographed the almighty Show Stopping Number
Ember Iris she’s not a triple threat. She’s no where near foster
I would argue that Robert Manion deserves to be on the list, maybe even more than Lauren does. While he's certainly no Sutton Foster (though is anyone really near her level???) He has an incredible vocal an acting range. Seeing him sing his part in 'No one remembers achmed' an 'show stopping number' seems like watching two totally different actors. AND that dancing in 'I'm a cop' (and again show stopping number). WOW,,,, what a man to stan.
Good kush uwu he’s not a triple threat either.
@@kyliep.4858 Objectively, I would say that he can act, sing, and dance with pretty equal talent in all three categories. Just because he hasn't been on Broadway/discovered doesn't make him automatically worse than Broadway actors. He's good at what he does. I didn't realize you were an all knowing authority on who's what,,,,, my bad.
Ya she gonna have to proof herself more to be on this list
Excuse me, where is Stephanie J. Block??? She may not be known as a dancer, but she took over for Sutton in Anything Goes and the only things they changed were the wig color and the standing split. She flawlessly executed that choreo, and if that doesn’t qualify her as a triple threat I don’t know what will
“Barrett wilbert weed” sent me I laughed out loud
I'm so jealous on how effortlessly and flawlessly these people sing and dance like wtf
Ruthie Henshall’s Me and my baby is one of my favs
Chicago is my fav musical ever😍🤩😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Renee, Patina, and Sutton my Queens I stan ❤️❤️👑👑
The first thing I’ve ever seen Sutton Foster in is the show younger!!!!! I had NO IDEA about her musical theatre career! SO GOOD
3:13 makes me want to see her play Sally Bowles! She’d nail Don’t Tell Mama and Mein Herr
Umm where is the god himself Jeremy Jordan
Fizzy Pancakes he ran offstage to get out of the way of the newsies who are doing the dance break.
@@bouncingbuttons7441 ?
The Frank's Tank while i love jeremy jordan and agree that he is a talented performer, he is not a trained dancer and therefore is not truly a triple threat.
bouncing buttons lmao facts I just like to hear him sing
@@bouncingbuttons7441 no i just didnt know what you were talking about not that i was offened or anything like that
Its interesting to play Patti and Sutton's versions of 'Anything Goes' back-to-back. Patti clearly isn't the dancer and mainly has people dance around her (an old pop-star trick), while Sutton is right in the middle of the mix, splits, flips, tap-dancing, twists, twirls and all ❤❤❤
Ruthie Henshall ❤️ my underrated queen
"You can't dance or sing in musical theatre without acting". Well... depends on your definition of acting, but sure you can, and many people do it :( But luckily there're some great talented actors, singers and dancers like these 😍 Such a great compilation!!!
But I also would have enjoyed watching them with some text, it's also not easy to do a believable performance, especially with some profund roles
I just got so addicted to your channel and I’m not going to recover and I couldn’t be happier
Why no one will do a revival of Singin’ in the Rain starring Tony Yazbek, I’ll never know. That man is Gene Kelly reincarnated.
Thanks for reminding me how in love with Ruthie henshall I am
F YEAH RENEE I was hoping she was here. gd I love her.
omg patina yess slay
Seeing these amazing performers makes me want to go to the theatre IMMEDIATELY
Thank you for including Renee!! The woman is incredible and totally underrated ♥️
Is it silly that I thought your thumbnail was Cecily strong from SNL and I was like did she finally switch to Broadway? Talented enough.
Honestly obsessed with your videos! The way you talk in the text is so on brand and I can't take it! Also did I see a flash of Barrett Wilbert Weed's name right before Sutton?
THIS IS THE FUCKIN CONTENT I WANT funny edits, great clips, good observations, spanning more than one generation of performers. Amazing video!
ily
Omg you included ruthie henshall. I love her she is so amazing ❤
i love ruthie sm i'm so glad she was mentioned
i was reading the description, why don’t you consider lbb a triple threat? just curious ahah
I think Gwen Vernon dances Fosse better than Fosse himself ;)
???
Anastasia Bananastasia fosse is a choreographer who’s style of choreography is present in many musicals like chicago and sweet charity. he’s dead but his choreography is still used now. gwen vernon was one of his wives and used to be his dance captain so she knows his style very well and honestly can make it prettier than him sometimes
Zoe Reed he also danced his whole life from childhood, danced in tv programmes and for mgm (ie. kiss me kate) and they both danced together for decades. they were more a team and soulmates imo and saying one is better than the other is just distasteful.
It's currently 5 am and i know less than nothing about musical theatre...
yet here i am.
Welcome to the cult. Good luck....
When you quit dance to persue theater and realize it's still very important for theater so you have to regain your skills 😙✌
Sutton Foster single handedly makes me gay
Actually screw that, they're all so attractive
Great list! The two others that came to mind when I was watching the video were Ben Vereen (singing in Jesus Christ Superstar, dancing/singing in Pippin) and Donna McKechnie (dancing in "Turkey Lurkey Time" from Promises, Promises, and signing/dancing from A Chorus Line).
Seeing Sutton Foster as Janet Van de Graaff got me lowkey geeked. My school theater performed Drowsy in Spring 2018 and I've loved it ever since.
IM SO GLAD you included patina miller!
If you do a part 2 you should really include Summer, Scarlet and Zizi Strallen as they are all incredible triple threats.
I'm so glad Tony Yazbeck is getting some notice. He's absolutely amazing.
Her Anything Goes costume is stunning
Great video, but where is my sweet talented princess Laura Osnes?!!? 🙏🙏
Tony Yazbek is freaking incredible.
I don’t know much about musical theatre, but that girl and guy in the yellow shirts at the end was EXHAUSTING to watch that was incredible
Omg Ruthie Henshall getting the recognition she deserves 😍😭
Thank you for calling our attention to the many Broadway stars who haven’t gotten the recognition they deserve.
thank you so much for introducing me to ruthie omg
at this point i'm pretty sure my entire life is just an extended Sutton Foster obsession session
Stephanie J Block... Queen of Belting, Learnt how to Irish Stepdance for The Pirate Queen and tap for when she filled in the role of Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes, she definitely danced when she played Liza Minelli in The Boy From Oz, and I'm sure there are other things too.
Also, if you're doing actresses who are still active today she won't count, but Julie Andrews could certainly dance, sing, and act in her heyday.
Patina Miller is the Queen! I hope she has more stage work in her future. She’s awesome and such an inspo for little black girls. She’s one of the reasons I want to pursue Theater as a career!
Your channel name is the best. And I love your content :-)
soooo happy u mentionned gwen verdon
Where's Chita Rivera? Rita Moreno?
Jay Markel-Pratt love Rita with my whole heart but in her musical career her singing was not as perfect as her dancing.
Well she didn’t include a lot of people, looks like she was focusing on more “modern generation” performers rather than the classic stars of “golden era” movie musicals and broadway
@@maddieb.4282 they put gwen verdon...........
@@maddieb.4282 the list was musical theater, not movie musicals
James Rankin Are you kidding? Both Rita Moreno and Chita Rivera were Broadway stars. Chita was the original Velma Kelly in “Chicago” and Rita won a Tony for her role in “The Ritz”!
The fact that Sutton only has to do a barely there vocal lift to keep her belting bright and clear?? god it's like the sound is just floating out of her
I think some of the classic triple threats are missing but great list. I saw Corbin Bleu in Kiss me Kate 100% triple threat
Sadly I never had the chance to see Sutton Foster live. But I was so lucky to experience Ruthie Henshall in Chicago in London! It was just amazing!
I’m a simple gal. I see Sutton, I click.
I felt Tony’s vibrato in my soul wow 😍
sutton foster can't possibly be human, she's so perfect🥰
Lesli Margherita is a killer triple threat as well! That split slam she did in Matilda?? C’mon!😍
There are so many good British triple threats, it’s amazing😍 Ruthie Henshall is probably the most legendary, but some of my favourites include Josefina Gabrielle, Zizi Strallen, Summer Strallen, Rebecca Trehearn, Julie Andrews (not so much now, sadly), Bonnie Langford... just to name a few!
I’d call myself ‘a two-and-a-half threat’, as I’m competent in acting and singing, but I’m not brilliant at dance. I’m not terrible either, but I’m no Sutton Foster😂
