Posted: 6/16/08 at 1:11pmI saw Gypsy right before the Tonys yesterday and I couldn't believe that she was the same actress I saw in Wedding Singer. I loved her speech. She seemed so shocked. Yay. I was so happy for her.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 1:18pmLaura Benanti has grown so much as an actress. Her performance as Louise has redefined the role for future generations. Such a wonderful change from her wooden performance in Nine.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"
