Kelli O'Hara wins Tony Award

So I thought about posting this for awhile and I wasn’t going to at first but then I realized it made me so incredibly happy and emotional every time I watched it (which is far too often than I should), that I wanted to share.

This was taken from the first mezzanine of Radio City. I was really hesitant about recording this because I knew it would be either the most depressing video ever or the happiest, and luckily it was the latter.

I went to the Tonys last year (2014) as well and I was so upset after Kelli lost. This year I was more hopeful of course but didn’t want to have high expectations. My friends can attest to how stressed we all were, especially the ones of us lucky enough to be there.

So this is my reaction video/Radio City’s reaction. I’ve never stood up so quickly in my life. Also shout out to me for just never sitting down… So I stood the entirety of her speech which you’re not really supposed to do but whatever worth it. I also had no idea what she was saying, like my mind wasn’t absorbing her actual speech. It wasn’t until I watched it back later that I actually listened to it and saw her dance moves.

I would apologize for my cries and hyperventilation but I’m just gonna assume that everyone out there basically had the same reaction so yay us all. Hopefully it’s not too awkward lol but enjoy!!!

Though the dress is constraining and O’Hara has had to teach herself how to move, let alone polka in it, and she uses the physical constrictions as a metaphor for the struggles her character would have faced in that time. 

 “With how strong Anna is, I use it as a reminder of how belted down she is and how she can’t get around easily and how she has to work through constraints to get anywhere,” O’Hara explains. “It’s almost like she has shackles on, but she’s trying to spread her arms and fly. I actually really like the fact that I’m dressed that way because it helps me in 2015 understand the limitations and what a women went through in that time in 1862.” Favourite Costuming, The King and I.
