Cole Escola Began Their Career on YouTube, Hillaryusly dressed in a middling wig, Performing a Pitch-Perfect and Extremely Loopy IMITATION OF Bernadette Peters. Now, after their Career-Making Star Vehicle, Oh, Mary!, Conquered Broadway, they are on the 2025 tony awards red carpet wearing an amazing wig but still dressed like Bernadette Peters. Specific, The best actor in a play nominee wears a look inspired by peters when she acceptted Second Best Actress in a Musical Tony in 1999 form Annie Get Your Gun. The reference isn’t exact, but the Silver Dress, Piled-High Red Hair, and off-the-Shoulder neckline come together in a stunning homage. Is wearing a look reminiscent of a Winner a good omen for late in the night? One Can Only Pray to Mary Todd.
