Saw that Ms. McDonald won the Drama Desk tonight for Best Featured Actress/Play. Add that to her Outer Critics Circle Award from a few weeks ago ... can that all be leading up to TONY #4?
As you may recall, Audra previously won for Carousel, Master Class and Ragtime. I think that winning a 4th TONY would be amazing for her ... I can think of few others who have four acting TONYS.

Posted: 5/17/04 at 1:13amI hope she gets the Tony. From what I have heard on the board and in the reviews, she deserves it. She has been my favorite actress on Broadway since I became obsessed with theatre. I can't imagine how wonderful she'd be on stage based on what I know of her from cds and movies. Here's to hoping that she'll get that fourth Tony and I'll get to see her on stage some day.

There isn't too much that Audra can't do. I have faith she'll be going home with Tony again this year.
And Son Of A Gun, she shows no sign of slowing down, so you'll definately get to see her one day! It will be more than worth the wait. The woman is amazing!

Posted: 5/17/04 at 1:53pmHappily, I think Audra is pretty much a lock for her 4th Tony. The Tony voters love her (and rightly so!). Now if she could only win a LEADING Actress Tony, all would be right with the world. Also, Angela Lansbury I'm pretty sure has four (Mame, Dear World, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd) all for Leading Actress. Any others?

A foolish question, has Audra done any television work?

Posted: 5/17/04 at 3:32pmI had forgotten about WIT - that was an excellent production.

I loved Mister Sterling. I was so ill that it was canceled. I am hoping that Ms. McDonald will return to the small screen so that we can see her more frequently.
Also, great news that Audra's A RAISIN IN THE SUN revival has cracked this week's box office top 10. Wow!

Posted: 5/18/04 at 12:16pmStep off, Sparky. Step off. That's Miss Audra you're talking about.

Posted: 5/18/04 at 6:49pmI don't know about Audra, but I hope Phylicia wins. I don't know how this woman didn't win an Emmy for The Cosby Show.
