Suffs isn't winning Best Musical.    Illinoise is.

Agree.   Sarah should win this for her natural performance with great arc.   

Kara was good but OVER shot this with such an HAMMY (vote for me) that it felt false.   

On board and will be voting for Sarah

Amber Iman SHOULD be the winner of the Tony. Whether or not that happens who knows... Sorry, Hell's Kitchen and boring Suffs -  She has the most material, the best vocal and acting of the supporting nominees this year, hands down. 

Wow. We caught Hell's Kitchen last night.   HOW was this nominated for Best Book?

It's one of the worst books in Broadway history. Simple - basic and no more than 20 lines before a song trying to create emotion and link songs to scenes.   It's embarrassing this book is nominated for a Tony.   The music in the show is fine if you like Keys - if not overtly "fixed" in sound design - but the book is painfully bad. 

Awful.  Sung well but sadly NOT. GOOD.   

As , not as great this is compared to the sh*tty Hell's Kitchen" --- this is better and the 2nd worst of the year.

Saw HELL'S KITCHEN tonight.   It's THE WORST Book of the season and of SOME TIME.  REAAAAALY bAD.  We Still cannot believe it got nominated.  REAAAAAALY bAD.   BAAAAAAAAD,    15 lineS (AT MOST) then song to save it.  BAAAAAD!

LOVED it at the Armory! We loved the open wide space of it all.   The St. James was an adjustment - ... It's the Best MUSICAL of the year.

You're not alone missing Robbie.  He was more powerful and those lines...

Yeah, an embarrassing for the committee.   But not surprised based on quite a few on the list. Small pool of people.   Way too much for Water For Elephants.

These sources are usually incorrect.  Some will be partially right but the actual nominations will come from people IN the business, qualified or not (and some this year are not, for many of these categories).

Some interesting predictions that I think could come true. But, it's hard for me to not throw out the whole thing when you think Lempicka is getting musical, score, and book noms.

They also imply that Here Lies Love is eligible for Best Book (GoldDerby also has it available to select in making your own predictions). Did we ever get a ruling on whether or not it's eligible and who would even receive that nom?"

Agree.  Some of these Variety and Time Out predicted nominations are off.  In past years, both have been pretty off with predictions.

 

How were the "stools with backs", stage level, on house left?  It seems those could probably see the Stage left scenes above the bar?

Billy Tighe from Heart of Rock N Roll would be pretty perfect.  He was our favorite part. 

Probably a cast recording.  The extension didn't sell and there were plenty of tickets on TDF.

Yes! I am hoping at least Gelb, Pigeon & Brill are nominated for Stereophonic.

Spamalot had better reviews than both Gutenberg and The Wiz.   Are we thinking The Wiz because it's still running... even with some mixed/bad reviews?  

Imperioli was great and wonderful to see live.

Do we see any of the comedic musicals getting nominations?  We missed Once Upon a One More Time  and haven't seen Heart of Rock 'N Roll yet.

What are the best shots for these and Spamalot, Dance in Ohio ...?
