I know Cecile Rose Gooding is the Grammy winner from Broadway. Who is the other Broadway performer?
Comment on New Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Photos — “Subspace Rhapsody”

The songs were written by alternative music musicians who have successful songs in a motion picture soundtrack and have done the same for other shows.
The preconditions for them pulling this off exceptionally well are there.
For those who happily purchase Spiner’s ‘Old Yellow Eyes’ but believe that no other forms, musical or animation, are sufficiently respectful of the dignity of the franchise, we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

Carol Kane is known for her work on Broadway, not just film and television. She had a main role in the musical Wicked.
Unfortunately, I don’t see her listed on the soundtrack. Perhaps she no longer sings.
Rebecca Romjin was the one in a G&S touring company.

People forget. Star trek has already done a musical episode. Mr. Data sang the breakout pop hit “Life forms” on the bridge of the enterprise. It was glorious. It was amazing. It is literally the only thing you should watch, ever again. Just that. On loop.

Fun fact is that Spiner ad-libbed that entire song. He was only meant to hum.

All-singing all-dancing Starfleet captains is a time-honored tradition, after all.
