Other Tony Winners in Disney shows.(ie Prince in Mermaid)

Posted: 4/11/09 at 11:43pm

Hey there,
I've just been noticing how hard Mermaid is advertising "TONY Award Winner, Faith Prince as Ursula." Made me think if any of their past shows had any Tony WInners.
And maybe about what that says about Prince...

Before any one hates me, I did think was wonderful in AFFAIR!

I think the only performer that comes close would be tony nominee John Tartaglia in Beauty and the Beast
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel

They didn't heavily advertise him, but Shuler Hensley was in Tarzan after he won for OKLAHOMA!.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Heather Headley won as Aida.
"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

Add Beth Fowler and Adam Pascal to the list of those with Tony nominations (Sweeney Todd and Rent) when they originated their roles in Beauty and the Beast (Mrs. Potts) and Aida (Radames).

Rebecca Luker was a nominee even before she was nominated for Poppins. Lee was also nominated.

Tom Bosley was a Tony award winner for "Fiorello!" before originating the role of Maurice in Beauty and the Beast.

Um, Sutton Foster was a Tony winner in everything she's done after TMM.

Plus Christine Ebersole was a nominee and winner for 42nd Street, including Grey Gradens.

You did start by asking about Tony winners, right?

The original question was about Tony winners, but I think people starting expanding it to include nominees because there haven't been that many.

But in what Disney shows were Sutton Foster and Christine Ebersole?
