Profile for BeingAlive 2

I am so excited at the prospect of Celia finally get the long overdue recognition she deserves. Its always so thrilling when a beloved theater actor gets such a high profile production  and gives a performance as good as her work in Mockingbird. Loved her since her Spelling Bee days and really wish she had won for The Glass Menagerie. Do you all think shes in a good position to win a Tony this year?

Over rent. Heartbroken. 

Any truth to the Laurie Metcalf rumor I've been hearing?

I am so excited to hear reports about this!! Condola has quickly become one of the most exciting actresses for me. Also reread the play and it truly does hold up magnificently. So excited to see what Daniel Sullivan does with this. 

would love to be pmed as well!

I cannot explain how devastated this news has made me. Her work meant so much to me as a young actor and the performances of hers I was lucky to see I will cherish forever. Her performance is Follies was so electrifying,I will never forget it. And her work with the Potomac Theatre Project is also truly staggering. She adored her work and it showed on whatever stage she performed on. 

This is absolutely devastating. I can't even begin to describe what Broadway the Golden Age means to me. I'm so sorry for your loss of your friend, Jordan. His work has truly meant so much to me and so many of us. And I we all owe him a huge debt of gratitude for recording and preserving so many treasures of the American theatre. 

Any ideas guys?Shes been hinting at some new project on social media for a while. Anybody have any insight or guesses into what it could be (if it is a theatre project)?I really loved her performance in On Your Feet and wish she had a way better book to work with. Will be interesting to see her take on a non-Gloria role. 

My goodness. What a loss. 

Had a friend who saw it yesterday and said that Julie was really struggling with lines throughout the show. She called for line five times and then during her scene with Emmy, apparently got visibly frustrated and walked off stage mid -scene and was gone for two minutes while Erin Wilhelmi waited. Hopefully things will get better  with more shows under their belt. 

I dont think this is true.  I do remember Benanti being upset on twitter when Krakowski released a similar Peter Pan Live! audition parody video. She retweeted a lot of people saying Jane copied her but that was after Nine and before she loves me but that seemed to all be in good humor . However, Laura did post an instagram two weeks ago of her baby and thanked Jane for giving her the baby blanket, so I can't imagine they are really at odds with each other. 

Really fascinating race and two incredible performers. The general impression from this board and most critics seemed to be that Metcalf had this locked, making Linney's Drama Desk and Outer Critics wins are both  surprising. Also interesting as both are on their 4th nominations. Thoughts on who will win? Also sorry if this feels like yet another tony thread-this seemed like such a specific thing to discuss, that I thought it might warrant its own thread.
