Here's every Broadway show summed up in one hilarious sentence
You probably can't watch most of the shows Broadway has to offer before they take center stage at the Tony Awards this Sunday, but don't worry — one of Broadway's own is here to help.
Laura Benanti, a Tony Award winner and Broadway darling, teamed up again with TheaterMania to explain the musicals and plays that were on the Great White Way during the 2015-16 season.
Benanti, who is a 2016 Tony nominee for her role as Amalia in "She Loves Me," takes a sarcastic and witty view of the shows. How else could she have gotten away with labeling "Les Misérables" a comedy in her 2014 video?
See some of the most hilarious ways Benanti described the recent Broadway shows below (full videos at bottom):
"Disaster"
"An Act of God"
"Tuck Everlasting"
"The Color Purple"
"Misery"
"Spring Awakening"
"Waitress: A New Musical"
"Noises Off"
"On Your Feet!"
"Sylvia"
She's actually not at all joking with this one.
"Shuffle Along"
"She Loves Me" (in which Benanti stars)
We see what you did there.
"Eclipsed"
"Hamilton"
