"It’s the fractured quality in [Bernadette Peters'] singing voice and line readings that puts across the character as someone for whom resentment is sliding into madness." - NYtimes on Follies (2011).

I don't think I "can't stand" anyone, but I really like Victoria Matlock, while others might not.

I can't think of any actor I just flat-out can't stand, but I love Patti LuPone and I know there are plenty of people who can't stand her. They're really missing out.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain. -Kad

Agreed on Aaron Tveit. He's not bad, but overrated from what I've seen of him. I also don't find him particularly attractive (GASP!) mainly because of the unibrow. It totally puts me off. And fangirls/boys get offended whenever someone says anything negative, like someone can't have different taste than they do - which is certainly not limited to Tveit's fans, but it does get rather annoying.

I like Natalie Toro, though, and she doesn't seem to have a particularly large fanbase. It's not even that I think her voice is superior or anything, I just really enjoy listening to it.

I can't stand LuPone, I think that she is an overrated, immature baby. And, Sutton Foster is hallow, playing the same character in every show that she was in. Sure, she ws good in Millie, from what i hear. And, yes, that performance was deserving of the Tony award. The carbon copies, however, that followed, weren't.

Love: The best I can come up with is Kelli O'Hara, about whom people tend to be pretty mixed. I don't know many who "can't stand" her, but I think she's not many people's cup of tea.

Agreed that though I used to hate Patti LuPone, I'm beginning to like her. I love Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, and Natalie Toro.

"Look I made a hat... where there never was a hat." "Think of how I adore you, think of how much you love me. If I were perfect for you, wouldn't you tire of me?" "Somebody, crowd me with love. Somebody, force me to care. Somebody, make me come through, I'll always be there, as frightened as you, to help us survive. Being alive. Being alive. Being alive!"
