Laura Benanti Wins Tony

[futuresuperstar4life]

wat year was this out?? i thought gypsy was an older showw??

[LGM429]

Hey, that was Thorsten Kaye behind de'Adre Aziza at 0:31-34. He's so hot!

Laura should go back to Broadway; she was totally wasted in that stupid Playboy Club show.

[pudgeuncle]

Benanti is wondrously talented but was so miscast. She sang WAY too well.

[EmShrayyy]

oh golly! She made me tear up a bit. Go Laura <3

[faggyboy2]

rip arthur :(

[zoebrisk]

i was there :))

[heidston]

Arthur! You're standing!

[KekoaOnorati]

Come see Laura now in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown opposite Patti LuPone (again) and Sherri Renee Scott! After her song in the first act NO ONE can touch her! :D

[mackconnelly101]

"Is a thrill that defys gravity"

Kristin is awesome! XD

[fountainchain126]

@mackconnelly101 *defies... learn how to spell you idiot

[pinkydogbear]

Good show!

[malyak]

This was freaking adorable!! I was privileged enough to be able to see Gypsy with Patti and Laura and it was so good! Laura has to be one of the most beautiful women out there! And amazingly talented!

[AdamEfimoff]

wow she was amazing

[mysweetsmile23]

i love Laura!! her speech made me start crying haha she's so adorable and even more incredibly talented!!!!

[kylejerel]

That is what a I call a "cute" moment!

[CrazyDreemz]

so totally had that "Defying Gravity" gag planned. she's so adorable

[kirstie337]

ahh i'm so glad she won! she so deserved it :) i'm lucky, i got to meet her and her mom backstage when she was in the sound of music... such lovely people, i've loved her ever since :)

[tatyrules12]

Aww I heart Laura!

She's adorable<3

2008 Tony's pwned the 2009 Tony's.

[msm471]

I love NPH though.

[elphabelle07]

She is just the best! Yay Laura!

[missdennyhead]

Oh my gosh. I just love her. "Yay Arthur!!!!" Pahaha. Adorable. She is beautiful. Oh goodness.

[wckdthruxnxthru]

She's just ridiculously amazing and I love everything she does!

[ExAxLxPx12]

[anactornamedseth93]

I love Loretta Ables Sayre as well

[BellatrixNellieLovet]

Oh my Gosh THAT is how excited everyone should be when they get a tony!!

[KaylaGA1429]

She was so fantastic!

She was so nice when I met her at the stage door! She is just an all around amazing person! She definitly deserves this!

[lavieboheme68]

GAW. What a cutie pie. She was fabulous when I saw her in Gypsy a couple days after the Tony's.

[XAilsaThomsonX]

KRISTIN!! BAHH!!! I knew Laura won a tony for Gyspy (which she was sssooo good in when I saw her ) but didn't know it was Kristin who presented the award to her! Yayy! x

[AtLastOnTheGround]

I love seeing someone accept the award with humility and gratefulness. Laura is amazing and the fact that she loves Sondheim makes me love her even more!

[chenofan7]

how perfect is that?! Kristin Chenoweth (one of my favorite singers) giving an award to soe one from one of my favorite shows!

[iluvnola123]

@chenofan7 I'm always so surprised how the universe doesn't implode when two amazing talents like Kristin and Laura interact within the same space. Separately they're phenomenal, but in the same room the fabulosity is almost overwhelming! lol

[rootbeeronbroadway]

@iluvnola123 thats how I felt when chita rivera, carol channing, and anglea lansbury were onstage together at the kennedy center honors this year

[sugarhoneyicedtea123]

she's so cute!

[mca1218]

"My mother- the ANTI-Mama Rose." Hilarious!! She's a fabulous babe!!

[ShopKID185]

[ryboe77]

I just LOVE how Laura TOWERS over Kristin at 1:29 :]

[cmcpxo]

Oh my god she is so cute! She was totally freaking out and she deserved it so much!

[lostONstage710]

"yay arthur!"

[Judill]

Just saw her in Gypsy... Absolutely amazing.

[drunksalami22]

[tatyrules12]

[ryboe77]

[aasjb4ever]

[carolineorchange21]

Please welcome Tony-winning leading actor, Barry Bostwick.

[HoneyContinuous]

Yes! wow i totally missed the Tonys and had no clue Laura won! I'm so glad that i got to see Gypsy this summer with the AMAZING cast. In The Heights was amazing as well(saw that last summer while it was still off-Broadway)

[MiniMary12]

[Andrrrrrres]
