"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

I can't believe no Radcliffe! That is really surprising and I think wrong.
But what does Aaron Tveit have to do to get nominated for a Tony! He kills himself in Catch Me!

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:37amAaron Tveit being snubbed is just beyond me. No I am not a "fangirl" but you can't deny his ability to carry a show. Poor guy

Yay, Patti!
I think they went a little overboard with Scottsboro! But not surprising.

Tammy Blanchard? OH, PLEASE.
And the two featured actor SCOTTSBORO nods? No.
These were extremely odd.

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:41amLot of SB love there. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by a lot of the choices.

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:44amI know there were an abundance of potential Best Actor nominees, but I think Radcliffe's omission is pretty obscene.

So happy for Colman Domingo. He's such a terrific performer.
Also happy to see Arian Moayed. I was worried he might get lost in the shuffle.
I am not surprised about Aaron Tveit at all. He's got loads of talent, but absolutely no personality. The only time he was exciting to watch was when he shared the stage with Butz.
Radcliffe seemed like a natural choice to host this year. That's in jeopardy now that they didn't nominate him.

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:51amI am absolutely shocked they didn't nominate Radcliffe. Were Hunter and Cuddles on the nominating committee?
