Now that's what I would like to call a good joke! I actually think Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a better stage portrayal of the classic story than Into the Woods.

Well, Into the Woods wasn't really about recreating the nice version of the Cinderella fairy tale but was using it to make a bigger, more real world point.

This is one of the most deserved Tony wins ever. Joanna Gleason gave a masterful and yet natural stage performance as the Baker's Wife. Nobody I've seen has come close to bringing to the role what she brought to the role.

Gleason deserved this win. Her portrayal of the baker's wife was iconic I don't think Sutton was able to identify herself with the character as much as she did as Fiona or even Millie. Lupone, God bless this woman, would later be more enraged after filing lawsuit against Webber for firing her. Ahh the drama in theatre, shit like this doesn't happen anymore.

Patti LuPone was so disappointed she lost. In her 2010 memoir, she focuses a great deal on that night and the days/months leading up to it. She won Drama Desk and said everyone told her she had it in the bag, so she was expecting it. Gleason won Drama Desk, too, but in the Featured Actress category.

Such amazing actresses she was up against. I've seen videos of most of those nominated performances and didn't realize they were all in the same year...how do you even choose? But Joanna Gleason was simply spectacular as the Baker's Wife. Every emotion the musical called on her to express was conveyed clearly without being overplayed. Such a natural and effortlessly funny performance.

I just want to point out how Alison Fraser was also nominated this year which is kind of funny since she played Chip Zien's wife in the past too, not even in one, but in two musicals (In trousers and March of the falsettos)

I wish the Tonys did split screens like the Oscars, so we could see the other nominee's reactions when the winner is called. In particular, I would be interested in seeing Patti LuPone's face, since she was so sure she was gonna win this.

Aww, she thanked her husband Michael Bennahum, but just two years later they would divorce in 1990 after six years of marriage. In 1994, she married actor and Susan's ex Chris Sarandon (DOG DAY AFTERNOON, FRIGHT NIGHT, THE PRINCESS BRIDE) and they're still together 20 years later.

I love Lupone AND Gleason, for very different reasons, although they are both fantastic actresses. I think Gleason deserved the accolades & the Award. Lupone deserved the two she did receive. She was riveting live in Gypsy. I just wish I'd gotten to see the original ITW, but I did see the revival wherein the stars of that production were Cinderella & the Prince.

On all the comments about Patti, I don't know her work, but if she needs an award to reassure herself she should be in another profession. At least that's my opinion. One shouldn't expect any thankfulness from others, you should just give what you feel is the best you have got and everything else above that should be appreciated but not expected. At least that's what I'm trying to learn. Joanna is awesome in ITW btw and Bernadette is always marvelous!!
@Dan_G.R.S.2 жыл бұрын
She has two Tony's on her way to a possible third one and won this same category on another award (Joanna won featured actress) hence why she had high expectations to win this but didn't. She was just disappointed she lost. Both were brilliant that year
