^and, assuming they would be in the same category, be sure not to have them produced in the same season.

Yes let's write Mazzie a role that is suitable for her voice instead of having her play belty roles that don't show her full potential. Especially if the role has been previously played by a belter.

Marin should be Helen when Judy's done. Maybe?

No, Marin needs to originate. Not be a replacement of a supporting role that sings only one song in a boring overrated show.

Why do people think being a replacement is a step down? Work is work and if given the chance to take on a Tony nominated role, why wouldn't she take it if she had no other offers. Also that boring overrated show is one of the best things to open on broadway in a long time, in my humble opinion.

She'd make a great Helen!

Marin Mazzie IS a belter. That is what's so impressive about her voice. It's so versatile.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)

I'm a young writer. (Really.) I'm going to write Marin a show first. Then Judy. Maybe both-- like a Gwen and Chita thing without a lot of dance. Maybe? But in all seriousness, Marin first, and she'll win. Then another for Judy, and she'll win.
And then they'll win their Tonys and we can all stop complaining, and you can all thank me.

LOL!!! I was not complaining. I just wanted to put it out there I said.

If you make the keys low enough anyone can belt, so I mean technically, but no.

Marin Mazzie (my favorite Broadway actress of all time) needs a wild and crazy musical comedy role, and Judy needs a layered, complex, R&H-esque role. While both are incredibly versatile and have succeeded in the polar opposites of what I've suggested, I have found these to be their strengths.
Maybe Marin in a new Shaiman & Wittman musical directed by Casey Nicholaw and Judy in a new Adam Guettel musical directed by Sam Gold.
I'd love to see Marin as Mama Rose or Norma Desmond, and Judy as Cinderella's fairy godmother or Genevieve in Schwartz's The Baker's Wife.

I'd rather see Kuhn return to SUNSET BOULEVARD as Norma Desmond this time around.
I've heard so many great things about Mazzie in KISS ME, KATE that I agree she should be in a musical comedy. Didn't she also get great word-of-mouth reviews for her performance as Lily Garland in the Actor's Fund benefit?

I'd like to see any legit Soprano belt the final "Eve Was Weak" note that Mazzie did or the few notes at the end of "Back to Before". I agree that Mazzie's belt is not quite that of say LuPone or Buckley's (at her peak), but there is something more unique about her voice than can be explained by simply lowering the notes, in my opinion.

Did you miss Bullets over Broadway?

I honestly believe that if Marin originated Diana in NEXT TO NORMAL, she would've won the Tony like Alice did.
#23Marin Mazzie and Judy Kuhn

I prefer to ignore Mazzie's performance in BULLETS. There's a Mazzie performance I couldn't wait to see that ended up being sadly disappointing. She played it as Norma Desmond and it didn't work but I doubt she is to blame as everyone seems to have been directed to replicate their film counterparts; she was also saddled with some songs that added nothing to the character and had little humor, again, not her fault.

I thought Mazzie was terrific in Bullets Over Broadway, but I also loved the show overall.
