Do you not know who Glenn Close is? Glenn Close is a SHE .



"Uh, he's talking about Ben Platt.

I don't think I said it was astounding, merely that your blanket statement about the "younger generation" isn't entirely accurate. This is a written forum, so don't get offended when someone points out that your words don't make sense. Also, to say that Ben shows up because he wants the Tony is an insult to him. I assume it's because he loves his job, has a good work ethic, and appreciates the audiences coming to see him.

But I feel like she really tries hard to show up, even when she is having bad vocal days just to make her fans happy and I love her for that. A true DIVA.

"Performance of the century?" That's debatable, considering that Cynthia Erivo and Ben Platt have also performed this century.

What good does it do? What good did it do to create this ridiculous thread? Also, don't forget that muscle has been very vocal in his disdain for THE GREAT COMET on multiple threads, so don't paint him as a wide-eyed innocent. He's very good at giving his differing opinion when it's not wanted or needed.

What good does it do when you post your unsolicited opinions?

Well surely she knew that going into the production, and she already has that Tony so I doubt that's why she did it to begin with.

And yes to everything on this thread - yes, she's a gem. Yes, she's not eligible. Yes, it's not that remarkable. Yes, muscle's enthusiasm is cute. Yes, muscle's enthusiasm is a pain in the butt. Calm down, everyone (especially you, muscle).

She wouldn't deserve it either way.

I keep checking back to see if we've had an update on how regular her bowel movements are...

I heard her understudy had to go on for her last Wednesday.
