I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Hate to be cliche, but Ben Platt by far for me this season.

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.

Ben Platt...Andy Karl...and of course Bette Midler!

Stephanie Block in Falsettos.
Ben Platt was outstanding in DEH, and totally deserves that Tony, but I don't love the show.
