I cannot believe that Beth Leavel is talking about Stepping to the Bad Side. I worked on the production of Applause she was in in 1982 and she and I watched the Tonys backstage [we had a Sunday night performance]....I love NINE, She loved DREAMGIRLS and she said "But wasn't Stepping to the Bad Side one of the most amazing things you have ever seen?" She was lovely to work with. I am thrilled for her success.
I love all of these women so much! And as wonderful as they all are, I think specifically in this interview, Bebe was just so insightful! She was so smart and the things she said were so brilliant!
I'm astonished that the poster below found Ms. Benanti annoying. Maybe it's from someone who lost a part to her. I thought she held back out of deference to the other panelists', to be tactful, greater experience. I find Laura one of the most appealing women in all of show biz.
Do people think Laura is ungrateful or inconsiderate or unprofessional by not going out the stage door or at peast doesnshe do it on the last show or when the show goes on hiatus so there is no risk of missing a show on the next night?

"NAME NAMES." Alice Ripley kills me!

BEBE❤️
Was something cut at 44:05 when it jumps suddenly from Alice to Laura ?
What did Beth say at 46:14 that someone had a note that said what for her??
that they were waiting to meet her at stage door. This was after a performance where she'd exited via another way, so she felt she'd let them down.

Poor Laura - you can tell this interview was shot before her spine surgery, her neck loks so stiff :-( wonderful panel BTW
How very kosher cosy. Yuck.
