Nathan Lane is just a wonderful sweetheart to share his award with Matthew Broderick. Nathan Lane is just the bestest actor in the world. Nathan Lane melts and warms my heart with his voice. I am just in love with Nathan lane. May God Bless Nathan Lane. Nathan is The wind beeneath my wings. God I love Nathan Lane so much. I love and adore Nathan Lane so much.
Saw Nathan in this twice - definitely deserved the award. One of the all-time great male musical performances. And what a humble, classy, moving speech. Anyone nominated for an award should be forced to watch this speech to see how to accept an award without looking like a stuttering idiot. Bravo Nathan!
I can't BELIEVE the orchestra started playing just as he was talking about his dead Mum...Gah. I understand that sometimes they need them to do shorter speeches but who decides when they start playing? They get it wrong so often.
A nice, pianissimo Give My Regards to Broadway as he spoke of his Mother's support for his urge to entertain. It may have been a cue to wrap things up, but it was well-chosen, tastefully executed, and entirely polite.
Love him so much (marry me please ^^). Nathan Lane is so underrated in Hollywood, shame. Brillant actors : Birdcage, Mousehunt, The Front Page, The Iceman Cometh, The Nance, The Producers, Angels In America, Penny Dreadful City Of Angels, Good Wife.
Nathan looks so cute and sweet here and i adore his acting and his singing and dancing and whatever he did. I cannot believe he aged that much in only three years after this when they filmed the movie. And really gained weight too. The baldness of bialystock is real or fake???
He did??? I didn't see the play but according to what I saw in a couple of videos here, he looked bald. In the movie he shaved his hair indeed. Besides, now that i come to think it better, he looked fatter in the play than what he looks here. Sorry for the "shove". English is not my first languaje. I made a little mistake. I thought it was an irregular verb.
No, definitely not :) Maybe what you saw was him on stage, really sweaty, so his hair may have looked more matted down. I don't know, but he definitely kept his hair for the play!
They had just finished performing (in the very beginning of the video you can see them walk off stage) which is why they are also dressed in their costumes.
Loved Kevin Chamberlin in _Seussical_ , a musical that never imagined there could be a _Seussical 2_ or _3_ , and so tried to squash all the Seuss stories into one show, unsuccessfully, though there were some very nice songs. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ywtEUx8Y1sA.html If you've lost both your parents, you're going to cry when Jo-Jo starts singing. However...If you have an actor like Nathan Lane and a part like Max Bialystok, it would be a travesty if he did not win the Tony, even over Broderick. Broderick had a similar spectacular role as J. Pierrepont Finch and received one of his two Tonys for that. One of the great acceptance speeches, because Lane actually knew everyone he wanted to thank by heart, didn't have to stumble ahead, go back to fetch a name he had forgotten to mention. A real _mensch_ .
This might have been a Hit and it might have been one of the greatest play of their time ,but the movie version was simply PLAIN AND UNEQUIVOCALLY The WORST MOVIE EVER!!!!
