Saw Venus In Fur last week and thought Nina Arianda had the award in the bag. Just an amazing roller coaster of emotions, accents... insanely talented girl.
You aint seen nothing yet until you go see Tracie Bennett in End Of The Rainbow...phenomenal performance, don't miss it, I have been going to the theater for decades and have never, ever seen such a magnificent performance before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t_aQqkP5Ay0

Well, considering that I saw Tracie in the show in London last year and raved about her, I guess I HAVE seen something.
I don't think Lavin stands a chance of winning this year, but she will surely be nominated. The award really is Nina Arianda's to lose at this point, though if Tracie is reviewed well, she'll give Nina a run for her money.
bjh2114...sorry my post wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. I was just trying to say don't miss this play. I told several of my friends about it and some didn't go and regretted it when it was the talk of London

@ Michael Bennett ##I just looked at the clips of Bennett and she looks a little over the top in the UK press materials. Perhaps its not a good representation of her actual performance, but I could see American critics being less kind. We'll see..##

That's because you haven't seen the clips in context. She is 'over the top' because at those points in the play, Judy is performing at the Talk Of The Town whilst high on Ritalin. There's much more to the play than that. She has received rave reviews in Minneapolis and has had standing ovations nightly for the past five weeks.
