"YO! I might not do this again, hold on." Simply amazing.

"Sir, you were my first crush!"

Mine, too, Nina! XD

[Brad Ford]

This woman changed my life. I saw her on closing night of Venus and Fur (my first Broadway show ever) and she was electric onstage. A true talent...ugh no words describe how great she was.

She has a cool voice! Does she sing?

[DWSMusic93]

Her speaking voice will definitely do great things for her role as Janis. She sounds awesome just speaking. I hope her singing voice is just as raspy and I think she'll do amazingly as Janis. I can't wait to see how the film turns out.

[Kirandera]

I just heard she's gonna be playing Janis Joplin. Tear it up and go for that oscar next, girl! :)

[Dalj H]

Nina just got cast as the new Janis Joplin.

I saw her last week! She was amazing, truly a tour de force of a performance. She and her costar Hugh Dancy have AMAZING chemistry omg.

That was a sincere speech. Like it! She has a weird face though..

[swimfish29]

loved she said that... only thing that could have made it better was if he took out a whistle and blew it...

One of the best moments of the Tony Awards: "Sir, you were my first crush." And just how many of us Sound of Music fans can say the same? It made me LOL! Captain Von Trapp, indeed! :-)
