I'm reserving judgement on Miss Atkins' performance until she, you know, actually begins performances.
I doubt (ha--doubt no pun intended..wow I'm depressing) that Atkins will stay with the show for 6 months. But we'll see. I wonder who theyre gonna get for Flynn, Sister James, and Mrs. Muller. Wouldn't Tonya Pinkins be a great Mrs. Muller?! If it was up to me, the cast would read:
Sister Aloysius..........Eileen Atkins
Father Flynn..............Peter Krause
Sister James............*hmm...tough role to cast when you think about it*
Mrs. Muller........Tonya Pinkins
I would die happy LOL
Atkins is never less than great. NEVER.
I think Atkins is very likely to win this award, especially given the magnitude of this role. Also, whoever said that Roger Bart is not eligible because he was in the original cast, it's not true. The actors could have been in the original cast but they could not have played the role for which they want to be nominated for in this category.
