I am so happy to hear this.... I knew it. There are many naysayers who are pulling apart the show and Beanie's "instrument" and her key but most people go to enjoy the show and I think most will also love every minute of it.....

Uh... have you seen the performance?"
No I have not. However, I have seen a clip of her and I say she will win the Tony for the excitement regarding this revival and a greater agenda at play to pay respect to and to advance inspired casting.

Would producers risk so much money by going with an average talent? It sounds like audiences are loving her. I think they should have had an audition process, but whatever...
