I'm laughing to myself because when I thought about Maryann Plunkett winning my first thought was: "Well, she just won a Tony in a surprise come-from-behind manner" and then I remembered it was nearly forty years ago.(What an interesting career she has had: replacing Bernadette Peters in Sunday in the Park..., recreating Emma Thompson's role in Me and My Girl and winning her Tony, and then going on to a distinguished career giving magnificent performances in both new and classic plays on- and off-Broadway and now in her 70's once again being up for Best Actress in a Musical.)
The only one I actually saw was Kelli O'Hara (twice) and I thought she was marvellous, but I won't be sad if Plunkett wins. She's just such a lovely actor. |
