The archetypal Broadway star is a woman. Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, Gwen Verdon, Carol Channing—legendary ladies such as these were the bulbs that lit the Great White Way in its golden and silver ages, and they still dominate the mythology of the genre.  Among others, Idina Menzel and five-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald are changing today's Broadway.
