Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:50pmGod Patti really knows how to use her words!
"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: 6/9/13 at 10:51pmI was also a little surprised at Kinky winning for choreography. I just don't remember that much outside that number and a couple of bits in The Land of Lola and the finale. I guess the treadmills clinched it.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:51pmI don't know if Pippin is the next Chicago, I give it about 3 years personally, then the next great revival will come in and it'll be gone. Sad but true point of the industry.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:52pmYes, it's been said before Kavana. Many times.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:52pmKINKY won choreography because it didn't entail dancers doing splits and cartwheels 2 seconds into the number. Mitchell knew how to build the numbers in the great tradition of Bennett and Fosse.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:53pmI can't wait to see PIPPIN when Raven Symone replaces Patina!!!!!!

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:53pmPippin will last a couple of years, but I think it lacks the iconic imagery and music of Chicago.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:53pmPippin wins Best Revival! My night is complete.
#717The Official TONY Awards Thread
Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:54pmI think casting replacements for PIPPIN will prove difficult. Or not? I'm not a circus expert.

Yay Pippin!!!
Also, side note: what is with Royal Caribbean? So many annoying commercials and awkward product tie ins with their backstage correspondent. Was one year not enough for them to annoy everyone at the Tonys??

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:55pmAm I the only one who is finding the ubiquity of advertisements on this show aimed at the elderly?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I liked Mitchell's work on KINKY. And I like his work in general. But this comparison is quite a bit of a stretch.

Posted: 6/9/13 at 10:55pmLA CAGE AUX FOLLES won Best Revival in 2005 and closed less than a month later. Just sayin'
