I think it's quite remarkable that she is now alongside Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Christine Ebersole, Sutton Foster, Liza Minnelli, Lauren Bacall, Donna Murphy and Chita Rivera. So highly deserved for someone that never turns out a bad performance. And what a great group of people with such different styles and vocal textures. I wonder if we could ever see one of them win another and get to 3, which hasn't happened in a very very long time. I guess simply due to age Sutton Foster probably has the best chance. Patti seems to want to stay away from Broadway....I think I'd love Donna Murphy to return to Broadway in a new role soon. It's been far too long.

The Drama League award Foster won for THE MUSIC MAN makes me feel like a third lead win is possible in a production with less baggage. Hopefully in something new! The love for her is still there. I still think she was #2 to Kalukango.

As I do with Laurie Metcalf and a few others, I buy a ticket to see anything in which Victoria Clark appears.

I love Victoria Clark and am very happy for her Tony wins.  For those super fans, the Hallmark channel is rerunning their Christmas in July fest. You can see her as the Queen of the fictitious Galwick in One Royal Holiday Thursday 7/20 2pm.

This is certainly an elite group of musical theater actresses. But if you break it down to original works, the list gets smaller.

Victoria Clark (Piazza & Kimberly Akimbo)

Liza Minnelli (The Act & Flora the Red Menace)

Chita Rivera (The Rink & Kiss of the Spider Woman)

Lauren Bacall (Woman of the Year & Applause) 

Gwen Verdon (Damn Yankees, New Girl in Town, & Redhead)

Mary Martin (South Pacific, Peter Pan, & Sound of Music)

Angela Lansbury (Dear World, Mame, & Sweeney Todd)

But why would one break it down that way…?
