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

Posted: 6/26/11 at 5:43pmI would like to see either of Peters' speeches..
"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

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.

Posted: 6/26/11 at 7:22pmPatti LuPone for Evita in 1980!
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.

That's already on youtube, bizarre introduction by Faye Dunaway and all.
Patti LuPone's 1980 Tony acceptance
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: 6/26/11 at 7:34pmWow! I didn't even think to search for it - I assumed it was too old. You're right about that introduction...

Posted: 7/14/11 at 8:26amI'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
Uta Hagen's for Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
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.
Speeches from the Tony's this year that weren't broadcast. Mainly Best Score.
I like your imperturbable perspicacity.
