Who'd you vote for and why?
I voted for Christina Applegate. She turned in such a lovable, entertaining, and endearing performance in SWEET CHARITY and single-handedly pushed the show to Broadway. If that isn't a feat of epic proportions I don't know what is. She's so great.
Cast your vote!

Maria Friedman-- I have NO idea why she wasn't on that list, she would have had my vote in a second.
...But I voted for Kathleen Turner

Posted: 12/16/05 at 5:51pmI debated for a few minutes earlier this afternoon on who to vote for. I eventually went with Patti LuPone for her triumphant return to Broadway.

I voted for Butz because he stole the show right out from under Lithgow's imposing shadow.
Second choice would have been LuPone for breathing new life into a role that even she had already played by numbers.

- Umm. Did I miss something? This isn't SINGER OF THE YEAR.
Christina pulled the unthinkable and beat all the odds.

I voted for La LuPone and wrote this:
Patti LuPone deserves to be the star of the year 2005 because she completly reinvented the character of Mrs. Lovett. She, in reinventing her character turned the theater world upside down with her new interpretation. Patti LuPone among other things, also struttered her stuff in a sexy tuba dance in Sweeney Todd and showed the world that this girl's got the stuff!
Tried to be a little humerous. I love the woman though!

Posted: 12/16/05 at 8:02pmOh I feel so lonely, I voted for Mr. Harvey Feirstein because he broke all stereotypes about him by playing the major patriarch of musical theatre.

Are u folks kidding? NORBERT, PATTI I can understand....but Christina?!?! Good Lord!
CHERRY JONES all the way - that was/is a performance of a Lifetime - if you saw her in DOUBT youll have story to tell your kinds. If you saw Christina in CHAIRTY theyll ask you about Debbie Alan.
#21re: Voting for Bway.com's STAR OF THE YEAR

- Good Lord! You are still NOT over it?
If you saw Christina in CHAIRTY theyll ask you about Debbie Alan.
- This makes ZERO sense.
I didn't see Norbert or the others on that list save a show and save the jobs of so many wonderful Broadway talents. Not to mention perform a show on a broken foot. She had true courage. You can dislike her performance, but don't you dare ever take away the credit she deserves for everything she did.
