I really agree with you about Addison Timlin. She has such a thankless role but she does it so well. Though I saw Molly (Balloon Girl) do the role of Baby Louise once and she broke my heart much more than Addison (if you can believe it). Every time Rose cast her aside, she had such a hurt look on her face. And with those big brown eyes and big round cheeks well it was absolutely heart-wrenching.

BEST BREAKOUT PERFORMANCE:
Tammy Blanchard (as far as Broadway goes, it was a breakout performance...and she really embodied the character)

BEST OVERALL PERFORMANCE:
Duh! Bernadette peters

BEST DANCER:
David Burtka

MOST UNDERRATED PERFORMER:
Cathy Trien (She is a very talanted woman, which unless she was going on as an understudy, you didn't really get to see in the ensemble roles she played. Besides, ya gotta have guts to go topless on broadway. lol)

BEST ENSEMBLE PERFORMER:
Brooks Ashmanskas

BEST UNDERSTUDY:
Jenna was amazing as June, but I'm gonna have to say Maureen Moore because she took on one of the most important and demanding roles in the show; and even though she knew she would be compared to Bernadette, and that people might not even give her a chance and would return tickets, she still went onto that stage with confidence and gave the audience her all.

Maybe we should just remove the category of best overall performance since we all know the answer.

Did not see Maureen, but did see Jenna when she first took over the role and after she'd been there awhile. I thought she was terrific.
Anyway, isn't Maureen officially a standby, not an understudy?? So Jenna for understudy, and Maureen (another DUH!! answer) for standby.
