It was a big night for both stars. Earlier in the evening, the “Dear Evan Hansen” cast recording took home the 2018 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, pushing Platt halfway to EGOT ― that is, winning Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards ― status. LuPone’s performance marked her first collaboration with Lloyd Webber in over two decades. They have had an adversarial relationship since 1994, when LuPone was replaced by Glenn Close in the Broadway production of Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard.”Fortunately, they seem to have buried the hatchet. Fans were moved by both performances, and LuPone’s name began trending on Twitter after she left the stage.
