There used to be a recording of Audra McDonald's 1994 Tony speech for CAROUSEL on YouTube but it's not there anymore - I'd love to see that again

Also, I'd love to see Natasha Richardson's (RIP) 1998 Tony speech for CABARET

And finally, Faith Prince's 1992 Tony speech for GUYS AND DOLLS

I wonder does anyone recall these or have them? Would be great to see them

I honestly have no idea why people do not like Peter's take on "Annie Get Your Gun"
I think she was great. I never saw her "live" but from what I have seen/heard she brought a new side to the role that many ignore.

That's already on youtube, bizarre introduction by Faye Dunaway and all.

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. -Kad

Wow! I didn't even think to search for it - I assumed it was too old. You're right about that introduction...

I'm sooooo seconding Donna Murphy for Passion! If anyone has the 1994's Tonys, please put this online, as Youtube only has the nominees presentation...

the ultimate "oh wait": Merman's for Gypsy

and a few that actually happened:

Jerry Orbach's for Promises, Promises

and Mary Martin's for The Sound of Music (but only to see Ethel Merman's reaction as she lost for Gypsy)

I'd love to see Audra's win for Carousel, too.
