Ugh. That Dagmara girl was the weakest link in "Enchanted April."

How much worse than Benanti could she be? How she ever got a Tony nod for Swing,is still a mystery to me and many others. Particularly when you think about the ladies/performances eligible in the same category that year. How did she get a nod *over* Sherie Scott, Orfeh and Amy Spanger? Imo, each one of the aforementioned, blew Benanti away. The nominating committee is not only getting old and feeble but they must have been really high on that particular day.

Remember that Benanti is the daughter of Martin Vidnovic who is also a highly problematic performer, a diva of the male variety with a very strong ego. Could be like father like daughter?

Musicaltheatreman, Benanti missed out on reprising her role in "Wonderful Town" not "On The Town".
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Oh that's right. She IS Martin Vidovic's daughter and the *stories* about his *behaviour* are downright legendary.

However, it would have to be genetic, because I believe he was not a part of her rearing. She took her stepfather's name, if that tells ya anything.

Things like that are not genetic. If that were true Liza Minnelli would be drug addicted, married to a gay man and broke. Oh wait a minute, never mind!!

Al Dente, can you share some of the Vidnovic stories? I saw him years ago in BRIGADOON and I saw FOOTLOOSE in DC but after he had been replaced.

Well, there's the one about how he would, with no provocation whatsoever, start screaming in a co-stars face. There are also the tales of him spending so much time warming up his voice, that he'd lose it for the actual performance. Again, these are rumours that have swirled around forever. I wasn't there so I cannot verify.
