Leading Actress in a Musical- 1994 Tony Nominees

[phapboy1]

Donna Murphy looked like she was amazing in this show. Not to knock Beauty and the Beast, but there was so much more to Passion, and she took full advantage of it.

Deserved it. Nuff said :)

[ggfanjase]

Donna won, of course. No competition for this goddess. *bows*

[tonywrestles2]

I wish someone would post the video of Donna winning for King and I. That was the year Julie Andrews was nominated for Victor, Victoria and turned it down, but everyone thought they'd give it to her anyway.

The moment comes, they list the actresses up for the award, and the Tony goes to...

Donna Murphy.

The look on her face is the only definition you need for the word "thunderstruck."

lmao u children r dumb.

[fashionglindaguru]

Does anyone else think that Donna looks so much like Liza Minnelli in this video?

[Cypresswhisker2]

As much as I love and adore Susan Egan, Donna Murphy definitely deserved this. Playing Belle, a girl who likes to read and falls in love with a Beast, or playing Fosca, a girl who loves to read and is the Beast. It was definitely Donna's! But no, Passion wasn't one of Sondheim's best, that is for sure. lol

OMG ALAN ALDA!! : D

I saw Donna Murphy in "Passion" and it was like watching a bad Carol Burnett sketch with a bad score attached to it. That mole she wore (there were several actually) made her look like something out of The Brothers Grimm. Awful. I love Sondheim but that show was a disaster.

@robbyg7777 I loved that show and the music was awesome.

[BroadwayGuy25]

As much as I love Donna, I wished Susan could have won that year.

[Rebafan2188]

ME TOO!!!  =)

[TsWade2]

@BroadwayGuy25 Yeah. In fact, Beauty & the Beast should of Won a Tony for Best Musical.

[princepeterwolf]

Susan should've win!

[Sheherezade27]

Donna Murphy completely deserved this.

[LexiixoxRoxx]

Aw, rats! Susan should have definitely won! =]

[jv92]

@LexiixoxRoxx Not to sound nasty, but Donna Murphy gave a performance for the ages in far richer material than Beauty and the Beast- not that there's anything wrong with Beauty and the Beast.

[Leechesonstage]

AAAGH! I'm dying to see Donna Murphy's acceptance speech! Please tell me you have that clip somewhere?!

[Rebafan2188]

I'm sorry I don't =(

[jayms74]

^By "she" do you mean Ms. Egan?

That was a tough year though. Some great actresses.

[angelofmusic99]

I knew she didn't win, but you still kinda hope while you're watching. Lol. Oh, well. Getting nominated is a great achievment in itself. But she'll eventually get one. *fingers crossed* :)
