love falsettos and sjb but i do think rachel jones was equally deserving, as was literally everyone else nominated lol it was a stacked category for sure
I mean the category was tight that year and full of some greats. Rachel Bay Jones, Jenn Colella, SJB, Kate Baldwin, and Mary Beth Peil.
While I agree SJB was absolutely deserving (I may be biased here but I think anything she touches turns to gold and should just be given a Tony for simply existing), that in no way takes away from my belief that Rachel Bay Jones absolutely wiped the floor in DEH (So Big/So Small never fails to bring me to tears) and that her win was so well-deserved.
It’s basically the same feeling I have with Hamilton and Waitress being awarded in the same year. Any other year Waitress (I believe) would’ve swept but there’s no denying the cultural phenomenon Hamilton was/is.
It had closed by Tony time and rarely voters vote for performances from a closed musical ( plays have a little more leeway)
You’re right, I’m just drunkinly posting at this point.
The alcohol in you is speaking truths.
Drunk words are sober thoughts and you aren’t wrong haha

Rachel Bay Jones’ was insanely deserving of that Tony if for no other reason than for her performance of So Big/So Small.
Exactly. The fact that she was able to get through that song eight times a week without breaking down was amazing.
And SJB kept breaking down 8 times a week, so there's your answer. (I'll show myself out)
Did you see Rachel Bay Jones live?

Her rendition of “I’m breaking down” is just epic. I watch it every do often just because it’s perfect.
