Tonys 2014: The Actresses - THR Tony Award Roundtable

[@princepeterwolf]

Idina and Sutton were so honest, real and open as always, the biggest stars are always the most modest and real of them all.

[@jo-annezeidenberg9865]

Sutton, Jessie and Idina! You are my loves!

[@marga_mld]

Idina Menzel seems to be so humble, and shy, and that makes me love her even more

[@jpetersgoyanks]

I feel like you have a bias against people who are boastful and confident.

[@user-ht8zh6pp4z]

@@jpetersgoyanks people who are boastful and (overly) confident are generally irritating to be around. Dunno if I would call that a “bias against” them

[@emmabeckett6451]

I thought it was interesting when they talked about entrance applause. Because almost all of these lovely actresses agree that in a way it's annoying & uncomfortable because they can't react to it in character & it can interfere with the show- which I completely understand. But, I loved how Idina said that she likes it because "[she's] work[ed] [her] ass off... and have people know who [she is]" which is so genuine & real & I absolutely loved it.

[@chaffeejake96]

Now these are role models!, for all young people, girls and boys, to look up to. I love that nowadays most people have heard of Idina Menzel, it makes me so happy, but ALL of these amazing and brilliant women deserve more recognition. These are the women that young girls should aspire to be, despite my love for Kesha, Miley, Katy, and the like, those performers can't even compare to the class and grace of these women. These are the ones that they should cheer and scream for. Long live the Queens of Broadway!

[@dianaanonymous5794]

haven't even watched it yet but I'm already SO STOKED to see Jessie Mueller, Sutton Foster, and Idina Menzel (some of my absolute idols) ON THIS VIDEO!

[@syworld82]

Jesse Mueller is giving me EVERYTHINGGGG in this ...

[@Guimmi]

Sutton and Idina are gorg!!! Love and look up to them!

[@fisharefwends]

the opening applause is definitely asked for in If/Then she comes on stage and says "hey, its me" and then pauses because the theatre erupts in applause. I like when they build it in.

[@heatherthompson5360]

I hope they start doing these on a regular basis for the Tony nominees. It was great.

[@shabytin]

One of the best seasons ever! I mean Idina, Kelli, Sutton? JUST WOW!

[@Countrygirltori24]

I'll be rooting for Jessie Mueller this Sunday! She's killing it as Carole King.

[@yeetfetus5269]

Update: she won

[@NerdLady100]

lol at 8:57 Idina : "I didn't mean to cut you off" - *cuts her off again.

[@amelianomura]

Sweetness

[@YoYoRaeRae]

I LOVE that The Hollywood Reporter finally did a Tony roundtable!!! More, please!

[@PaulTengco]

Tyne: Everything on film is frozen. Idina: 👀👀👀

[@Horsesarethebest888]

They are such smart insightful women

[@Confessional24]

Add Audra and Cherry and you've got the 8 most talented actresses on Broadway right now! Incredible to half them all in one room.

[@berf13]

As much as I love the close up shots, I half wish they would've shown the whole table most of the time so you could see reactions to what others are saying more. For example, at 18:25 when Kelli says that sweet thing about Jessie, I would've loved to see their faces when those comments were made as neither is on camera at that time. I wish they did more of these roundtable interviews as they are lovely to watch/listen to from such an incredible talented group of individuals.

[@lyannenescro1203]

I can’t stop staring at Jessie 💗💘😍

[@janefeast]

Thanks for covering the Tonys too. Hope you continue in following years.

[@Julia-hj3xu]

Kelli O'Hara is the definition of perfection.

[@justinpullins6214]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for including Tony nominee roundtables! I hope they continue in the years ahead!

[@lisafs0902]

So many talented women around one table!

[@fadhilramadhani1847]

Tyne Daly is just gorgeous!

[@cbcgirl4life]

Interviewer was a little rough, but at least he didn't ask all of the same questions as everybody else...

[@uKANdoanything]

great host.. really enjoyed this roundtable

[@hellopaolo]

Kelli and Sutton are so mesmerising in this

[@cierra6940]

god this was SUCH a good year

[@sorellehattori2466]

Sutton’s smile is so cute 🥰

[@mariam786_]

Idina😘

[@zoelopez1426]

Idina!!!!!

[@broadwaybabi91]

This is such a special video. Thank you so much.

[@chochonero341]

Tyne Daly one of the finest actresses of television and film.

[@549621jon]

kelli is absolutely stunning

[@379ms]

LaTanya soooo well deserving Tony nomination!

[@graceevans6239]

KELLI Kelli Kelli I met her side stage so so lovely and beautiful 💕 idol😍

[@zachfeedman8709]

lol at the very beginning when they're all touching the shoulders of sutton's dress

[@zachfeedman8709]

kinda wild to rediscover a video 5 years later and find that you commented on it… they’re still a fantastic group of ladies

[@Emerldcty]

Idina is so beautiful 😭

[@jnw518]

I really hope there is another one of these with this years tony nominees!

[@mcip2749]

jessie has the most beautiful piercing blue eyes

[@breethomas2601]

sutton is such a queen

[@cheryl6790]

thats a lot of talent in one room : )

[@colleenzajac7033]

SUTTON ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gracepeterson9931]

I'm so glad this was made - it's wonderful to see Broadway getting recognition. My only complaint would be that not every best actress nominee was there - maybe it was because of scheduling? But if it was because they had the women on most likely to win, that doesn't seem fair at all - especially because neither Tyne nor Latoya even ended up taking home the Tony. Does anyone know why they would not include all of the best actress nominees?

[@gracepeterson9931]

LaTanya***, excuse me, my phone autocorrected

[@emmabeckett6451]

Grace Peterson I agree with AlcinoustheXIIth, it was most likely due to scheduling conflicts. And as for having the women on most likely to win- Audra McDonald was nominated (later won) and wasn't here. Most people thought she would win in her category because she's only ever lost once. Which also makes her legendary. It was not about that- it was just who could or couldn't make it. Or it could have been- in part- that this is the first time they did this format, so they're testing the waters & didn't want too many actress because maybe they felt like they couldn't truly get to them for answers.

[@sharekeogh8658]

Love Tyne Daly

[@bluebeanbaby]

I wish all the roundtables for women were more similar to this, because most of the other ones, like all women interviews leads to their roles as tabloid fodder and nurturer gatherers often that it becomes an annoyance. I am not against women discussion family, motherhood, and pop-cult topics or beauty but it becomes 40% or more of the interviews and I don't get to hear about the craft or business or repertoire of their actual work. Well done.

[@richardmayora5310]

Re: Raisin he forgot to mention the great Virginia Capers in the musical version, a great Tony winning performance.

[@tanja0599]

Okeee, Where's Sierra Boggess? . Idina Menzel is soo goodlooking btw.

[@meganwoodrow2982]

I know that Sierra is fabulous, but sadly she has never been nominated for a Tony Best Actress. This was also only for 2014 Best Actress Tony Nominees.

[@tanja0599]

She should have been nominated for her role as Christine in Phantom. Especially when you look at the 25th Anniversary of Phantom of the Opera.

[@rebeccaontheearth]

tanja0599 but she can't since it's not a new production nor a revival :)

[@tanja0599]

rebeccaontheearth yeah...I know..but still

[@rebeccaontheearth]

True, she's a phenomenal actress! Let's hope she someday will get nominated for an original role :)

[@lsw734]

Lol at 9.55 when she says, "Its alive instead of frozen"...That movie has ruined phrases like "let it go"

[@hopefulstarfish7559]

Um...no it hasn't. ,:-)

[@janetta98]

Wee peeve: I'd love it if a host actually addressed a table full of women as 'ladies' and not 'guys' or just 'thank you all (for being here)'.

[@adrisgb]

i'm i the only one who thinks that Scott looks like the tiwn brother of Buddy (cake boss)

[@brandiunderwood5861]

Does anyone know who the name of the photographer taking those portraits of the actresses?

[@kinglaurac]

why tf wasn't audra included in this (unless she was busy)

[@seandoesstuff101]

.... where is Lena Hall!?????

[@ActorsWithIssuespodcast]

They had some of the Leading Actresses in this interview, Lena was nominated (and well-deserved won) for Featured Actress

[@Heather-zk5eu]

what are the photos for? It seems a bit odd

[@theblankpanther]

+Heather Weir 'The Hollywood Reporter' is a magazine, so I'm sure the photos accompanied the article written for this roundtable.

[@jennaclay4593]

If I'm not mistaken, the photos were for the magazine.

[@Heather-zk5eu]

Hi I get that the photos are for the magazine - I was being sarcastic as it looks really stupid.

[@liviaaa99]

I hate how the interviewer at the beginning pretty much said "even though we usually talk about hollywood and film, we are a well rounded show and we can talk about theatre too!"

[@gracepeterson9931]

I mean the company is called The Hollywood Reporter, he's basically saying "yes, some of you may complain or be confused that this isn't hollywood but these are still amazing dignified, actresses and we should treat this award show like any other." And I think that's great!

[@chochonero341]

Folks shouldn't be allowed to bring food to the show. It's common courtesy.

[@zachfeedman8709]

ik it’s 3 years late lol, but they usually don’t bring it to the show/theater themselves. it’s for sale in the lobby (along with merchandise) before and during intermission ($$$)

[@sadieadler3720]

The obtainable star possibly squeeze because break methodologically stamp amid a defiant cupcake. nostalgic, juicy bike

[@joesephyunna6568]

The dapper friday indirectly rescue because underpants microcephaly imagine into a chubby stone. keen, incandescent shape

[@ChronicExcessiveManliness]

Fantastic panel and panelist. Interesting questions and replies. Enjoyable...
