Very excited to see Gentleman's Guide next month. A director I work with is putting a group together when one of her former students is filling in for a larger role. That performance was sensational.
Inglehart was great in Friend Like Me. Strange how no one is complaining about his costar sweating onstage nor any of the tappers who also started to sweat near the end. Nope, just the larger actor gets mocked and criticized for that.

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:22pmI don't think the Aladdin number sold any tickets either. I thought it was awful and couldn't wait for it to end.

I'm also bitter that Iglehart won a Featured Actor Tony for a leading performance, when poor Bertie Carvel still has no Tony cos he was put in Lead for what was also a Featured performance

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:25pmThe camerawork for Gentleman's Guide ruined the joke of needing to see all three characters at once.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:25pmI agree about Cabaret. It had more energy at Studio.

Laura Benanti just tweeted "Turning off the Tonys. Good night"
?
She's just pissed that her friend Celia didn't win. No biggie.

Angela Lansbury is puce with rage and resentment, I don't think.
Congrats, Audra.

"I agree about Cabaret. It had more energy at Studio."
Definitely. It just works better in the show, and looks super weird on a big stage. And the music was sped up way too much. Oh well, there are plenty of good "Willkommen" performances out there, including their performance on the Tonight Show a couple months ago, which was miles better than this.

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:29pmIdina Menzel's performance was so great, it doesn't sound lip-synced to me. If/then is underrated.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:30pmAlix, also, they cut out the entire middle section when he introduces each member of the band. That's where the fun is. The number was cut to pieces.

I actually just purchased a ticket for GG! I'm still not entirely sure whether or not i'll like it, but that was a good performance, and my friend's father is one of the producers so might as welll!

Posted: 6/8/14 at 9:31pmNot suprised that Cranston won. He was fantastic. Cabaret was better on the Tonight Show.
