I was between Ben and Bette, but voted for Bette. When you look back on Broadway history, those were easily the two biggest names of this year, but I think Bette inches out.
(The only reason I didn't vote for Katrina was because I think 2018 will be "her" year 
)

Who came up with these nominees and why are they more deserving than all the other Broadway performers? Some of those captions are just...ugh.
"BEN PLATT
For being the toast of the Tony Awards and the youngest actor to win the Drama League Award, for welcoming his replacements in Dear Evan Hansen, for announcing his debut album and for his ultimate wish coming true."
Who said he was the "Toast of the Tony Awards"?!?! "Welcoming his replacements"? "Announcing his debut album"? "Ultimate wish"? I don't have anything against him, but this is creepy fangurl overkill. This is just embarrassing.

Posted: 12/8/17 at 5:09pmI am thoroughly baffled over the extreme amount of praise continuously heaped on Ben Platt.

I agree that Katrina's year will be 2018.

Seriously? Not everyone has to have the same opinion as you. Apparently it’s okay to insult people on this board if they say anything against anyone involved with Dear Evan Hansen or Hamilton.

Regardless, I voted for Ti Moune because she is part of the human heart and why we tell the story.

For me it came down to Ben or Katrina, and I ended up voting for Katrina simply because Ben has already achieved so much acclaim. (And it's completely justified in my opinion.) But I do agree with the poster who said that 2018 will probably be Katrina's year.

Ben, because his stunning performance was light years beyond any performance by the others listed and people will talk about for decades.

I think her greatest contribution was shutting down "fetch". By taking away she was giving back to us all.

Heard he was replaced with Mandy, but broadway.com ended up ditching the idea.
