What a deserving win. When they called her name, tears came to my eyes! I wish her more Tonys in years to come. :)

Best dressed of the night, and the best speech. She looked radiant.

I saw Gypsy right before the Tonys yesterday and I couldn't believe that she was the same actress I saw in Wedding Singer. I loved her speech. She seemed so shocked. Yay. I was so happy for her.

Laura Benanti has grown so much as an actress. Her performance as Louise has redefined the role for future generations. Such a wonderful change from her wooden performance in Nine.

"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

Anyway...so happy for her.

I was SO happy for her!!! She is brilliant; her voice, her acting, everything. She totally deserved this. She looked stunning, as per usual.
