What's the best performance (period) you've seen this season- play, musical, broadway, off-broadway, tour, or even regional? I'll start-
Glenn Close-Sunset Boulevard

Hate to be cliche, but Ben Platt by far for me this season.
Posted: 5/1/17 at 10:09pm
Ben Platt for sure. One of the best performances I've seen in my life, not just this season. But I also want to give a shoutout to the ensemble of Hello, Dolly!

I would say Ben Platt, but I want to be original. Stephanie J. Block.

Andy Karl in Groundhog Day. That performance is just a masterclass in musical comedy. Him and Annaleigh Ashford would be my two.

From what I have seen (not much this season, to be honest), Laurie Metcalf in A Doll's House, Part 2 by far.
The buzz around Ben Platt makes me want to see him in Dear Evan Hansen, though I doubt I will be able to afford or time it any time soon.
Posted: 5/3/17 at 10:02pm
Ben Platt...Andy Karl...and of course Bette Midler!
Posted: 5/3/17 at 10:41pm
Stephanie Block in Falsettos.
Ben Platt was outstanding in DEH, and totally deserves that Tony, but I don't love the show.
