I'm rooting for The Prom and Brooks.
Tootsie was fine, but it was rehash to me and just another movie-musical. The Prom had heart and Brooks gave an incredible performance.

RippedMan said: "His vocals weren’t great when I was there - at least singing the headvoice stuff. Just frustrates me that he will now be a Tony Award winner because the category is so weak."
Idk, can we give it to Damon Daunno then?
"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

They did! 
Love Santino. I saw his John Adams at Encores a few years back and it was fresh and startling and spectacular.

I know it might seem like there's a lot of snark on these boards but recently I've been feeling like y'all are tame compared to the absolute ridiculousness that has happened on Twitter due to stans on there-they're absolutely awful.. I'm tempted to say I prefer these boards now.
