For an award that was basically default, that was one of the best speeches of the night. If not, the best. Bravo, Aaron.

Congrats to Adrienne!

She was transcendent. She deserves that win. The Sound Inside was the best play of the season. It is eclipsed by the showier, more hyped plays though.
Audible has the play on audio performed by Parker if you want to hear her perform it.

She probably sent her understudy.

Posted: 9/26/21 at 8:47pmWhere’s the hate for Karen Olivo coming from? Because some people judge her dancing or judge her from taking a break from Broadway after West Side?

Karen won't be watching tonight because she's "being kind to herself this week" and refuses to watch the show.
So yeah.
Congrats, Adrienne!! Beauty!

I really hope so. One of my favorite things I saw in ‘19. Quite possibly my favorite actually. But just checked the website and didn’t see anything but tour dates listed so far. I’d guess if it was coming back more info will come in Oct since performances would start in Nov."
They announced in October 2020 their intentions to return to Broadway for the 2021 holiday season, but that has since been scrapped in favor of the mini-tour along the west coast. In the recent casting announcement for those productions, though, the producers stated that they still hope to return to New York/Broadway in the coming years.

Ahh, thank you!!! I hadn't heard anything recent about A Christmas Carol, so I'm glad to read these."
Yes thanks for that info!

it was a good play and she gave a GREAT performance.
i havent been paying much attention to this silly half-season nonsense BUT i have to say that Adrienne Warren, Mary Louise Parker and Andrew Burnap all gave absolutely phenomenal performances worthy of all the praise, so that is at least a nice outcome. (And couldn't be happier for Burstein and Tveit, both immensely talented Broadway veterans).
I will say that Lois Smith was fine but hardly special when I saw the Inheritance. And while I thought David Alan Grier did great work (in a tricky role), Paul Hilton was robbed, fleeced, hosed, and on and on.

Posted: 9/26/21 at 8:51pmAh, so the hate is coming from that old chestnut of she relied on her understudy too much / couldn’t do eight shows a week. I’ll be the odd one out here and say I just don’t care.

Adrienne's soul and spirit lit up that room and my screen. Her performance will be, forever, one of the most astonishing things I've seen onstage. She's only just beginning!

I loved Aaron’s speech too. I wish I would have seen Parker’s performance. Is it coming back?

I feel like we'll only see Karen again if Lin releases his next play (whenever that may be) and he places her in it.

Google Los Angeles Times (article from a few days ago) or just anything she’s said about anything when COVID hit. She’s eating Doritos at home in Wisconsin. By her own choice. You asking this validates you don’t follow Broadway.

Nope. But, if you are actually curious simply ask someone and stop assuming things.
