Posted: 6/8/14 at 8:48pmBest Director more important than Best Score? (i.e., air time)
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/8/14 at 8:49pmIglehart was a mess, I don't understand the obsession with that number or his performance. Definitely doesn't seem Tony winning to me. Shame Burstein won't get his much overdue Tony for a subtler, heartbreaking performance. I don't need to see Iglehart sweating and trying to breathe all over the stage.

Idina was sick with a bad cold for her Wicked Tony performance.
Can I just say she sounded just as amazing this morning at the dress rehearsal at 10:30 am.

THIS. Agree wholeheartedly. Aladdin just seems so very mediocre. I love Disney and I love the animated movie, but there is no part of me that wants to see this show, and that performance did not do anything to make me more interested. Hoping Danny somehow takes it.

Denzel rhymes with Menzel. Who'd have thought either of these names would find a true rhyme? They're even spelled the same except for the first letter. My last name is pronounced LEE-brawss. Think I'll ever find a rhyme?
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.

There is something about the moment in the theatre and also the song - it's really long and heavily built-up. It doesn't come across well on TV. The first thing I posted after the first preview here was that "Inglehart will win a Tony". You need to be there!

Quite an upset for Kenny Leon
Clint Eastwood has completely stopped giving any f---s about anything anymore, and I love it!
I know seeing the boxing match was key to Rocky, but it's a musical, why didn't we see them sing?
