Broadway Divas Tournament: Semifinals

Bebe Neuwirth vs. Bernadette Peters

Bebe Neuwirth

Bernadette Peters

Voting ended onMay 11, 2024

Two-time Tony-winning, newly three-time nominee, dancer-extraordinaire Bebe Neuwirth (1958) is best known for her winning role as Velma Kelly in Chicago (1996) alongside her beloved Annie Reinking. After playing Velma off-and-on for some years, she then took on Roxie, and later Matron "Mama" Morton. Bebe has also won for Sweet Charity (1986), and is a two-time Emmy winner for, of course, Lilith in Cheers. Other credits include Here Lies Jenny (2004), Fosse (2001), and Cabaret (2024), which opened to glowing reviews for Bebe, and dismal reviews for basically everything else. In addition to her beloved stage, Bebe is a devoted cat-lover, and activist. She founded the Dancers' Resource program to provide support for injured and/or aging dancers. She is *THE* living Dancing Diva of Broadway.

Seven-time Tony nominee, two-time winner Bernadette Peters (1948) has a sixty-plus year stage career of monumental proportions. Considered the foremost Sondheim interpreter, their collaborative works include Sunday in the Park with George (1984), Into the Woods (1987), Gypsy (2003), and Follies (2011). She has a thriving concert career, and was a co-founder of the beloved Broadway Barks event each year in Shubert Alley. She has an honorary third Tony (Isabelle Stevenson Award) for her outstanding advocacy and philanthropy. A true Broadway Baby at her core.

"Are you truly a Broadway Diva if you haven't appeared on the cover of the biggest queer magazine of its age? I am just over the moon with all the Bebe Neuwirth buzz going on now. She got her third Tony nomination for Cabaret, she's about to embark on a whirlwind press tour, she's the critic standout of that whole show. I need her in every magazine, newspaper, and photoshoot right now. And here she is, in the semifinals against the Bernadette Peters herself. She's swept every poll up until this point. It's been a lovely run."

"I don't care that it's from a movie. This was my gay awakening. This song right here (along with "A Lovely Night"). At three years old, I saw this little redheaded bitch of a stepmother and decided, yeah, that's the blueprint. And it was. I proceeded to fall in love with Broadway Divas in movie musicals for the next few decades. I do love a petite, curly-haired, fair-skinned Diva with a unique voice... This poll hurts me personally because Bebe is my favorite and Bernadette was my first."

Shrek

"He seemed a bit hesitant to answer and looked off to the side for a moment as if he was thinking of something to say.

Plus, it adds to the entire theme of Shrek not believing that he was worthy of any form of respect until he met Donkey and Fiona."

Lake

"the first thing they do when they get agency over themself and their appearance is shave their head with a trainwheel, give themself piercings, and put on a sick outfit. when they finally escape the train they name themself after the first reflective surface they see that doesnt spit cops out to kill them"

SEMIFINAL ROUND, MATCH 1 OUT OF 4!

Who is the best Fairy Godparent?

Cosmo Cosma & Wanda Fairywinkle-Cosma (The Fairly Oddparents)

Brystal Evergreen (The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer)

Voting ended onFeb 24, 2025

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Cosmo & Wanda:

(For Wanda specifically) She loves the children she looks after so very much.

(For both) A fun and silly twist on the concept of Fairy God Parents

Brystal:

In TLOS Fairy Godmother is a title for the leader of what’s essentially the fairy tale equivalent of United Nations, which honestly leads to some interesting commentary on what it means to be a leader or a good person, and how it’s not necessary possible to make everyone happy, but it is shown that Brystal absolutely did her best until the end. In the main series it’s shown that she did her best as a single mother and always tried to do what was best for her sons, even though it sometimes meant doing things they perceived as hurt at the time. The books don’t fully commend her for every action she took with her family, she’s even willing to admit she knew there were protective actions that had selfish intentions, which is pretty refreshing for a parental character, especially in kids books! She has a genuinely sweet relationship with her grandkids and dies in the most badass way literally getting out of bed after being sick for months so she could slay a dragon. She still makes a point to comfort her grandkids before she returns to magic, and even after she passes her presence is felt in the books. The prequels, meanwhile, are really interesting because they show what she was like as a teenager, long before she was some revered figurehead. The first book treats magic as an allegory for being queer and how religious/familial trauma can squander the joy of being yourself, but she’s able to build a new group of people who support each other and slowly grow into the fairy godmother so many people picture. These books are just so good laugh

Broadway Divas Tournament: Semifinals

Audra McDonald vs. Christine Baranski

Audra McDonald

Christine Baranski

Voting ended onMay 11, 2024

Six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald (1970) holds the record for most Tony acting awards a person has ever won. She is one of five actors to be nominated across all four respective acting categories and the only person to win every one (and the only actress out of the three who is still living...). Her stage work includes: Ragtime (1998), Porgy and Bess (2012), and Lady Day at Emmerson's Bar and Grill (2014). Internationally acclaimed concert tours, Tony host, crown jewel of the American Stage. Grammy winner, Tony winner, Emmy winner. Get this woman an Oscar, stat. This is a BROADWAY Diva tournament, and it doesn't get much more BROADWAY than this.

Legend, icon, certified GILF Christine Baranski (1952) has a theatre resume a mile long. A two-time Tony winner, Christine has performed on and off-Broadway, regionally, and internationally in shows such as Mame at the Kennedy Center, the pre-Broadway workshop of Sunday in the Park with George, and the infamous flop that was Nick & Nora (1991). She can be seen alongside a slew of other Broadway Divas in HBO's The Gilded Age, and has also participated in at least ten Sondheim shows and concerts over the years. This is a Broadway DIVA tournament, and it doesn't get much more DIVA than this.

"Okay, so. I've seen Audra McDonald in concert three times, and each time has been a soul-ascending experience. She is *THE* Diva of Broadway in every single definition of the word. Most Tonys, tied for most nominations, critically acclaimed. I'm listening to "I Could Have Danced All Night" as I type this out, and the high note she just hit at the climax almost knocked me out of my seat. If you do not vote for Audra McDonald in this BROADWAY DIVA TOURNAMENT, what are you even doing here?"

"Did you know that Christine Baranski has a lakehouse in Connecticut, and she invites all her famous friends to go swimming "with or without" swimsuits? Cherry Jones is particularly fond of staying out on the lake all night long. If that's not icon diva behavior, what is? Christine may be a big screen star with some Emmys and whatnot, but she started on the stage, and she remembers her roots fondly. I long for the day when she comes back, if only for a special one-night-only extravaganza."
