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

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.

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.
