The Broadway.com staff is crazy for Culturalist, the website that lets you choose and create your own top 10 lists. Every week, we’re challenging you with a new Broadway-themed topic to rank.
Christian Borle has the power, and we're not just talking about his Tony-winning role as the Bard in Something Rotten!! Not only will the two-time Tony winner star as Marvin in the forthcoming Broadway revival of Falsettos; it has also been announced that he will transport theater fans to the world of pure imagination as the candy man himself in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (This means that Borle could be up against himself for Best Actor in a Musical at the 2017 Tony Awards, btw.) But before Borle starts slinging golden tickets as Willy Wonka, let's recall our fave stage and screen characters he has portrayed. (After all, you can't spell "Borle" without "role.") Who could forget him as Black Stache in Peter and the Starcatcher or as Tom Levitt in Smash? Which of Borle's various roles do you think are his most eggcellent? Broadway.com Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek kicked off this challenge with his top 10!
