I'm not surprised about LSOH being absent from the Best Revival list. Uninspired.
FIDDLER should not be getting such a bad rap. I had a wonderful time seeing it. I was expecting 3 hours of this typical, endless warhorse, but was thoroughly entertained. The design for the show is most definitely worthy of the nominations it received.
WONDERFUL TOWN, I thought, was particularly lackluster. I'm shocked to see Jennifer Westfeldt nominated over the two supporting women from AVENUE Q and over Randy Graff for FIDDLER. Bland, bland, bland one-note ingenue. I kept thinking that dozens of other actresses could have been much more interesting in the role of Eileen.
Not at all surprised to see Douglas Sills overlooked. I was amazingly unimpressed with his performance in LSOH. I never thought of Orin the Dentist as a flamboyant queen before. I didn't think it worked at all. (Granted, I don't think it was intentionally played that way... that's just how it seemed to me.)
I wish Rick Lyon from AVENUE Q was recognized for his performance, and for his puppet artistry.
Itty Bitty Geisha?
Toyland?
Gypsy Pasadoble?
Just a few popular favorites...
