Ok, well at least the theatermania article gave us a little bit of the speech:

"This started six years ago when I got a voicemail from Stephen Schwartz saying, 'I've written three songs. Would you come over and sing them for me so I can hear them?' And that later became Wicked, an amazing journey of blessings and heartache, and discipline," said an emotional Block.

I didn't end up getting a ticket, and I have yet to talk to my boss about this, but I will ask him about Stephanie's speech.

After seeing her performance in DC, it makes me really angry that she was replaced by Idina.

Are there any awards that Mr. Mays hasn't won for his career-making role?

Let me add my congratulations to Stephanie Block!! I enjoyed her Elphaba so much.

I'm also so glad Urinetown did so well, especially Stephen F. Schmidt who is one of my favs. Damn Yankees was also terrific. We sure have some quality theater in this area. *happy dance*

I asked him, but he doesn't specifically remember. He told me to speak with his partner (who's much more into theatre).

aww, she looks SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I am SO proud of her! She really did deserve this award! What an honor! May many more wonderful things come her way!!!

What is your dream role? My dream role would be to be myself. To be performing at the Hollywood Bowl and to have an audience there just to see me, as Stephanie. They are there because they like what I do as a singer, an artist and a person (the last being the most important). I enjoy escaping and portraying other characters, but to be accepted and wanted as yourself... that's amazing! --Stephanie J. Block Just one of the many reasons I admire and respect Stephanie!!

Jefferson Mays in I am My Own Wife was probably the most amazing piece of theatre I have seen, and will ever see....

but the actual topic...YAY Stephanie!! she totally deserves that!!

and all that I could do because of you was talk of love...

I have to agree with you on I Am My Own Wife - utterly amazing.

I wish I had seen that show when I had a chance. And that's perfectly on topic, StephanietheStar. This thread is for the awards show as a whole as well... not just the one catagory I was following.

Feel free to discuss!

I thought Stephanie's acceptance speech was very nice.
Franca's speech was painful. The explanation of her dream was so strange and unnecessary.
I was glad Urinetown did so well, as I thought that was very well done.
I had hoped Carolyn Pasquantonio would win for best lead female in a resident play partly because I know her and partly because I thought she was amazing. There were a few others that I hoped would win mostly because I knew them.
I was quite surprised columbinus didn't win more, as I heard it was amazing.
Oh, and too many ties in a row. That got old.
Ok I'm done for now.

What happened to Andrae?

Fan: Oh my god! You're, like, standing right there and, like, looking right at me and, like, oh my god! Anthony Rapp: Yes, that's a pretty accurate discription of reality.

I remember her thanking the community and saying how great it was to get to come to DC for this and be appreciated. She thanked the judges I believe. She was just very gracious and humble. She also said she would share the award with Kendra. I believe someone already mentioned her talking about Stephen Shwartz asking her to sing the first three songs he wrote for Wicked so he could hear how they sounded aloud. Oh, and I agree with Harpo about Stephen Schmidt. He was great and he's a very nice guy. It was amazing how every cast member involved in Urinetown brought up how it was such an amazing group to work with and they had fun every day.
