I can't stand when I'm around Aaron Tveit either

"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

Posted: 1/24/11 at 9:57pmI can't think of any actor I just flat-out can't stand, but I love Patti LuPone and I know there are plenty of people who can't stand her. They're really missing out.

Agreed on Aaron Tveit. He's not bad, but overrated from what I've seen of him. I also don't find him particularly attractive (GASP!) mainly because of the unibrow. It totally puts me off. And fangirls/boys get offended whenever someone says anything negative, like someone can't have different taste than they do - which is certainly not limited to Tveit's fans, but it does get rather annoying.
I like Natalie Toro, though, and she doesn't seem to have a particularly large fanbase. It's not even that I think her voice is superior or anything, I just really enjoy listening to it.

Posted: 1/24/11 at 10:03pmI can't stand LuPone, I think that she is an overrated, immature baby. And, Sutton Foster is hallow, playing the same character in every show that she was in. Sure, she ws good in Millie, from what i hear. And, yes, that performance was deserving of the Tony award. The carbon copies, however, that followed, weren't.

Love: The best I can come up with is Kelli O'Hara, about whom people tend to be pretty mixed. I don't know many who "can't stand" her, but I think she's not many people's cup of tea.
