LETS HAVE OUR OWN AWARDS.... — Page 2

You're very welcome. I mean, I rock out (can we use the phrase rock out in regard to musicals) to Hairspray and the new crop of shows as much as anyone here, but I started loving musicals because of Cole Porter and the rest of the classics. :)

---

I don't feel like thinking!

Plus, my memory isn't that great of shows from back when!

---

Well here goes.

Best Villian in a Musical(of all time)-Sweeney Todd...how can you not pick him?!

Best Villian in a Musical(of all time)-Charlie (The music man)
Best Actress in a Musical(of all time)-Eden (Brooklyn)
Best Actor in a Musical(of all time)-
Best Duet(of all time)- Sun and Moon (Miss Saigon)
Best Female solo number(of all time)- Memory (Cats)... Yes I said MEMORY! Not really a solo... but it's close enough
Best Male solo number(of all time)-Stars (Les Miz)
Best Ensemble number(of all time)Emerald City(Wicked)

I also agree, why best COMEDY actor/actress and not just actor/actress, or have both comedy AND dramatic? I've rarely seen "comic" performances that I found even slightly amusing - the dramatic ones are always more effecting and quite remarkable. And whoever said MEMORY isn't really a solo? Obviously they don't know the song - it's a complete solo. Anyway...my choices are (and I'm not doing comedy only) :

Best Villain: Not a true villain, but the best in my opinion is The Witch in INTO THE WOODS.

Best Musical Actress: Bernadette Peters - she's the ONLY true talented diva left.

Best Musical Actor: The only leading male performance that's made an impact on me EVER on Broadway is Antonio Banderas in NINE. He was raped by the Tony Awards that year when Harvey stole the award from him - terrible.

Best Duet: Move On, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.

Best Male Solo Number: Petrified, TABOO.

Best Female Solo Number: Unusual Way, NINE.

Best Ensemble Number: I'm always attracted to moving things more than just FUN things, but my top three would have to be the Finale from RENT, You Can't Stop the Beat from HAIRSPRAY, and, the best EVER - Come On In From The Outside from TABOO.

you should add more categories and expand them to plays, not just musicals.

---

I forgot Julie Andrews - Add her with Bernadette.

Am I the only one that doesn't find anything Nathan Lane funny in anything he's ever done? He's not BAD, but he's not extraordinarily funny - he's himself in everything exactly like Kristen Chenoweth. I'm over them.

"Am I the only one that doesn't find anything Nathan Lane funny in anything he's ever done? He's not BAD, but he's not extraordinarily funny - he's himself in everything exactly like Kristen Chenoweth. I'm over them."

I actually agree with you. I like Nathan Lane and Kristen Chenoweth and all but they just...ACT the same way. take kirsten in Wicked and YAGMCB she played them nearly the same. Another person who's a lot like them is Matthew Brodrick but the only difference is that i DON'T like him not after that remake of Music Man when his performance was so freaking flat.

Oooh, I'm cheating again. I want to change my vote for Best Duet to "Point of No Return from POTO.

:)
