Imelda Staunton's full acceptance speech, receiving the Laurence Olivier Award 2016 for Best Actress in a Musical. April 3, 2016 - Royal Opera House, London
She is right: Stephen Sondheim is the Shakespeare of musical theater, and I daresay the closest to the Old Bard America will ever get. Loved Imelda in "Gypsy", catch it when you can on TV.
Sou muito fã da maravilhosa senhora Staunton, ela merece muito mais prêmios, essa fabulosíssima atriz, cantora e dubladora britânica é, na minha humilde opinião, uma das maiores atrizes do mundo na atualidade, Imelda Staunton é a mais célere dentre todas as atrizes desta geração e é referência em atuação!
TaeWasSpilled It’s Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge, Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor at Hogwarts and Senior Undersecretary at the Ministry for Magic.
seamus1956 when I first saw Gypsy with her in it, I couldn’t separate the two. I was so disgusted when I watched it the first time, but when Roses Turn came on I completely forgot about Professor Umbridge lol
Miss Staunton also created on the British stage the roles of the Baker's Wife in " Into the Woods" and Mrs Lovett in " Sweeny Todd", so she is particularly attached to her work with Sondheim.
