First, a correction: I meant to say: Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to see Phylicia Rashad in ''Skeleton Crew.''
I was actually happy to see her win a Tony in 2004 for ''A Raisin in the Sun,'' but this time, I was rooting for Kenita Miller.
Winning a Tony is such a special honor that I like to see the Tonys spread the wealth. And since Rashad already had a Tony ...
Ditto, for LuPone, who won her 3rd Tony. If the voters liked Lee more, she could've made history as the first trans Tony winner.
Timing, luck and talent play such a role in winning, and invariably, there are fine performers who don't even get nominated.
This year, all of the Featured acting categories had 6 nominees, except one: Featured Actor in a Musical, which had only 5.
If it were up to me, I would've added a 6th slot for Claybourne Elder, who, like Matt Doyle, stood out in such stellar ''Company.'' |
