Weekend Poll Top Three: Funny Girls! Fans Are LOLing Over Laura Benanti (Plus Two Other Broadway Babies') Twitters

Funny. Did you hear that? “Funny.” Yeah, our fans said…OK we’ll stop. It’s Monday, and we could all use a laugh. Last week, we took to Twitter to ask you which Broadway tweeter cracked you up the most. We narrowed down the list to 10 contenders, and made you choose: Which Great White Way star should take home the honorary Tony Award for Best Twitter Account? The votes are in, and the (imaginary) Tony goes to…

1. Laura Benanti—33%
When she’s not busy delivering some mad side-eye on the small screen, Laura Benanti is consistently killing it in the Twittersphere. From expressing admiration for her doting fans, to the occasional slice of humble pie to her inventive takes on sporting events and music festivals, this Tony winner has all the material she needs for an HBO standup special. Congrats on winning our poll, Laura! Please contact us to claim your prize (a My Fair Lady revival).


2. Lesli Margherita—22%
Bow down to the Queen! We may not get to see her burlesque routine in Peter Pan Live!, but that’s OK, because she continues to crack audiences up nightly as the “Loud” Mrs. Wormwood in Matilda. Speaking of which, if you see the show and go to the stage door after, be careful what you say. Because your words may be immortalized by the Looks Not Books star herself. And we will laugh.


3. Jackie Hoffman—17%
Here’s a Great White Way firecracker you don’t want to cross. The former Broadway.com video blogger’s Twitter reads as one part fashion manifesto, one part free ad space for On the Town with just a dash of a cryptic plea for help. And we love every bit of it.
