All the Broadway stars I've heard tend to have a more nasal edge to their voice (it could be a New York accent thing which everyone adopts) - West End normally goes for more rounded tones, same as Hollywood. I dunno. Idina Menzel vs. Kerry Ellis is a good example - if you search youtube for their rendition of 'I know him so well'. Not all of them do this, and Idina is a pretty weak example, but a lot do, and it grates on my ears something chronic.
If you got to hairspraythemusical.co.uk and listen to the samples on the jukebox of 'Good Morning Baltimore' which is Broadway cast, that's a good example.
