Seeing her reaction made me cry. Winning a Tony at that age. Now she'll be singing in the Secret Garden concert as Martha and Sydney Lucas (also nominated for best featured actress last year for Fun Home) will be playing Mary

Politics aside, I am glad Daisy won. Not only was her performace worthy, but her personal life was in termoil as her mom had terminal cancer (and died soon after) This musical, even with the Tony awards, never got the respect it should have being based on a children's book. While just about every Broadway musical was either filmed, or made into a movie, The Secret Garden- The Musical, never was. 2 years later, the definitive film starring Kate Maberly was released, but it was not the musical version. I saw Ms. Egan 3X on Braodway in this musical and 25 plus years later I am still waiting for a professional DVD release of the orginal Broadway performance..I am sure it exists somewhere...

I agree with you 100% the musical is so much better than any of the movies. It definitely brings out the emotion of the story more. I wish we could get a DVD of the musical. However I heard in a article it is supposed to come back to Broadway.

japonaliya it’s probably in the archives for the New York public library but not everyone can just go there and watch for free. You have to have some sort of school project or something that requires you to watch the musical in order to see it

@TheMusikman487 3 жыл бұрын

Sometimes the producers of shows will petition the Tony nominating committee to put some of their actors into different categories where they might have a better chance of winning (especially if they’re billed below the title). Wins = publicity for your show. Everyone knew Lea Salonga would be walking away with the best actress award, so putting LaChanze and Daisy into featured actress would guarantee them a nomination, and possibly a win.

@MarkvanBeelen 4 жыл бұрын

I felt the same when I just watches this. If Timoune is not the lead in her own story, then who is? You can't compare Tumounde from OOTI with Martha from TSG, which was the role Allison Fraser was nominated for. And actually that goes the same for Mary Lennox. The story revolves around her and Archibald. You could say Lily is another lead and perhaps Neville Craven, but that's it. Mary is, just like Timoune, not a supporting (or in this case featured) character in her own story.

@keshaunconnor606 3 жыл бұрын

On a podcast, the lead producer of "A Secret Garden" said that despite her being the lead, they submitted Daisy in the Featured Actress category because, in Leading Actress, she would've been up against Lea Salonga in Miss Saigon. It may have been a similar situation with LaChanze. Producers trying to give her a better chance at winning against a phenomenon.

Lauren Goodwin Sit there with a straight face and tell me she belonged in this category and not Best Lead Actress in a Musical. She might've lost against Lea Salonga that year but it would've been more honest and not total category fraud. The quality of Eagan's work was excellent, the placement of her nomination was ridiculous.
