The curse of Arthur Laurents continues...will we ever get a winning Rose who was not directed by him or is the role forever haunted?

I’m very happy for Nicole. I think she’s much better than the actual production she’s in but she gives a phenomenal performance 7x a week.

Such a brilliant performance in the musical of the year. She is thrilling, captivating, and gripping. Nicole you are A Force and so loved!

No, there's video of the curtain call since it was Thaxton's last performance. She was there, crying with flowers (and covered in blood) as Tom Francis gave a goodbye speech.

I can’t argue with any of these winners tonight. It would have been crazy for Audra to win and I’m so glad Nicole has. And Darren.
Now we just need MHE to win Best Musical

At least her dress matched her favorite hat.

Helen J. Shen running and screaming into someone's arms (couldn't quite tell who it was) was probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen!

I’m neutral on Nicole‘s win, just honestly a bit surprised that she would still win after aligning herself with beliefs that are the antithesis of so many in the theater community.

Amazing how people continue to peddle this crap that had been put to bed months ago

Nicole survives accusations of MAGA, Audra in Gypsy, the Patti drama. It’s an unambiguous message that Nicole won and gave one of the greatest performances of all 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
