Notable Gypsy Robe Recipients

Posted: 4/11/09 at 3:31pm

I made this thread to list and discuss notable recipients of Broadway's "Gypsy Robe".
http://www.actorsequity.org/AboutEquity/GypsyRobe/gypsyrecipients.asp

Here's the ones I've found so far:

JERRY MITCHELL (The Will Rogers Follies)
HUNTER FOSTER (Footloose)
MANOEL FELCIANO (Brooklyn)
SARA GETTELFINGER (Nine)
CASEY NICHOLAW (Thoroughly Modern Millie)
DEIDRE GOODWIN (Rocky Horror Show)
KRYSTA RODRIGUEZ (Spring Awakening)
CURTIS HOLBROOK (Xanadu)
JESSICA MOLASKEY (Chess)
DONNA MCKECHNIE (State Fair...years after she won the Tony for a show she had a lead in. Anyone know why this happened?)

Maybe it was because she did a lot of ensemble work after. Also I know A Chorus Line was still considered an Ensemble Musical so maybe that made her eligible. But I actually do not think it matters if you have been a lead. It just matters how much ensemble work you have done.

Current Avatar:The sensational Aaron Tveit in the soon to be hit production of Catch Me If You Can.

She was a lead in SF.

It must have been on an ensemble contract then. That's how the recipient is determined.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

She's Donna McKechnie, let her have every possible award, she deserves it.

Adrian Bailey, who received it in Little Mermaid shortly before his horrific accident in that show. I wonder if he perhaps might be the eldest recipient of the robe?
