Best Performance of a Leading Actress in a Play
Presented by
Brian Dennehy - a Tony Award-winner as Best Actor in a Play for his performances in
Death of a Salesman (1999) and
Long Day’s Journey Into Night (2003). He is currently appearing in
Inherit the Wind.
He was unforgettable in Salesman, I was speechless after the performance & took the bus all the way
to and from Oberlin to see it, by myself. It was 14 hours by
Greyhound, both ways & worth every second of screaming children & annoying cellphone conversations.
Audra also presented (she had changed since the red carpet) and was in a regal shade of purple, with small, drop, circular earrings and a simple chain necklace with a singular gemstone off-set by pounds of fake hair.

Winner:
Julie White, who was clearly shocked to win. She was in a playful, floral summer dress, which made it clear, aside from her hilarious acceptance speech, that she really didn't think that she was going to win. She wore a great gold bracelet comprised of several strands which caught the light wonderfully.
10:08pm - 10:10pm
Performance by the cast of
Jersey Boys. I mean come on guys, you're so 2006.
10:10pm - 10:12pm
The recap of the the
technical awards. You know, a friend of mine designed the hair for about 8 shows that are up right now, I'm shocked that there's no award for that. I'll have to ask him why & report back.
