| "Honestly? Brent WAS probably miscast in “Parade,” but everything about “Parade” is better because of what Brent brought to that part. He made us as the authors give more space to Leo’s humanity and confusion; he brought out a simplicity and an emotional core in Hal’s staging; and his effect on the other actors in the company simply can’t be overstated. To watch the scenes between Brent and Carolee Carmello was to watch him constantly, gently guide the focus away from himself and towards her glorious performance. He was like that with every member of the cast. It is one of the great gifts of my life that I had my work interpreted by the magnificent Brent Carver." | |

| True words. All of that was very evident in his performance. Carolee Carmello was sensational as well. |

| No disrespect to Bernadette Peters and Martin Short (who won for separate shows, not the show they starred in together ironically), two of my favorite performers ever... but I truly felt both Brent and Carolee were given uniquely nuances and powerful performances in a very challenging new musical and deserved Tonys. | |
