Aw, I wanted Catherine Z. Jones to win, there goes her Tony

I thought she was much better and has payed her dues in the theater.

It's a Tony, not a lifetime achievement award, Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius.

^^ What? What's with the snarky response? I said noting that deserved that. I think an important part of the award is earning it in your career. She has been in numerous shows and has been a very successful actress who finally deserves the recognition and think that has a great effect on her winning.

I want to be Michael Mayer right now. He just got himself another B'way show this season!

"She has been in numerous shows and has been a very successful actress who finally deserves the recognition and think that has a great effect on her winning."

Why should it though :-/? They are performance awards (for a particular performance).

I don't think it matters either way, because if Sherie delivers the same caliber of performance on Broadway as she did Off-Broadway, it will be the best performance by a lead female this season. She will deserve the Tony regardless of her previous theatre experience.

While you may not agree with Drunk Chita Rivera, they have a point.

An actors career can play a role in their Tony chances. This can also be a matter of opinion though (I believe this to be the case with Gregory Jbara's recent win. Completely deserved, but I don't believe that was won on the performance alone)

Has any performer won an acting Tony before for playing themselves?

Alice Ripley?

LOL

The only similar example I can think of would be people who've won for revues like Nell Carter in Ain't Misbehavin' or Ruth Brown in Black and Blue.

Stritch (in the Special Event Category) - does that count?

Rivera was nom'd for Dancer's Life.

No, the Special Event category does not count.

People here FLIPPED OUT when Chita was nominated, but of course everyone is thrilled for Sherie.

Another (and better) one: in 2006 Lisa Kron was nominated for playing Lisa Kron in Well.

That would be the the closest example because both Well and Everday Rapture were written by, and inspired by the lives of, their stars.

I would be thrilled to have an opportunity to see this show again. One of the best times I ever had in the theatre.

there was a song in it about going up to the roof...or SOMETHING like that...do any of you remember what it was called? It's driving me crazy!

THe song is called "Up The Ladder"

you can hear some of the recordings on this website

"Up the Ladder to the Roof" was my favorite song from the show. The three girls nailed the song and I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks after the show. I really hope it stays in the show (and the show happens!)

Will the album finally get released now?

[RyToast1]

i hope that if Sherie does in fact win a tony, she thanks megan mullally in her acceptance speech

[WiCkEDrOcKS]

Too bad CZJ won't get her Tony. At least not this year. But Sherie deserves it. I really don't think this has much of a chance of winning Best Musical though (although it was one of the best musicals I saw last season).

I wonder if Sherie will thank Megan Mullally in her Tony acceptance speech. :)

YESSS! I'm so excited to see this again!
