[@jasonc.parker4644]

Not to slight any of the other artists who won last night, but this win was the most special for me. It felt like a win for all of us theatre kids.

I've admired Lindsay since her "Dogfight" days. Well done!! Congratulations!

[@broadwaymike92]

So proud to call Lindsay my teacher. I study with her at Actor Therapy (the Musical Theatre Intensive she created with Ryan Scott Oliver). Working with her has been unbelievable because she expands your voice, what songs and roles suit the best for you, and everything. I can't wait to continue to working with her. Congrats Lindsay.... Well deserved and you gave the performance of a lifetime. So proud of you.

I saw here as Elphaba in Wicked. Best performer ever. Such a beautiful powerful voice!

[@mryamahaxeno]

Alejandro Martinez healthiest Elphaba there will ever be 😭💚

[@JerkyPuck]

I don't know her personally but have a lot of friends who do and they all say the same thing...she is one of the most respected and loved actresses in NYC.

[@genevievedaboval9588]

Lindsay totally deserved the Tony, I’m so glad I could see her as Carrie, she completely stole the show in my opinion!

[@jarrelldickey3486]

Congratulations, Lindsay!! Well deserved!

[@j.j.225]

I love Lindsay. She is such an inspiration, and her voice and acting are unreal! I just adore her.

[@barbllm]

Her Broadway vlogs for Wicked and Carousel are hilarious and genuine.

[@sethbender2863]

She is such a good person. And kind hearted. I didn’t know who she was until watching her on tv this year, then realized she was a huge broadway actress. Go Lindsay

[@autumnmccall3386]

I went to school with your mama. I am so sorry she is not with us anymore. She is/was my FB friend and I did not realize she was Becky Rifkin who I loved. All these years she lived right next to me in Downey. I am so glad such a wonderful person had a successful daughter like you. My granddaughter admires you. She is 6 and is in musical theatre now too. Congrats. You are certainly your mother's daughter. Warren High 71 Marla Allard Webb Much love Just realized I'm signed in under my daughter's name. Sorry.
