So, I was thinking about which shapes represent various composer/lyricists and here's what I'm thinking so far.

Sondheim—Parabola

JRB—Scatter plot

Ahrens & Flahrety—Oval

Dave Malloy—Hexagon

R & H—Octagon

Stephen Schwartz—Trapezoid

This is just a start...what is everyone else thinking?!

Great, thank you, wonderfulwizard11!

I have tix for tonight--so excited!!! Can anyone tell me the run time? 

Don't they typically announce ties all at once? I remember when Lauren Worsham and Anika Larsen both won, they went up together, right?

Mine still hasn't started...I'm getting nervous. It's almost 10 min past the start time. Is it just me?

Broadway Concierge—Awesome!!! Yay! :)

Aw, that's too bad! Thanks though!

The awards are tonight! Yay! Anybody know if it's possible to live stream them?

This doesn't exactly answer the question, but I think a tie in this category is extremely likely. I'm not sure if we will see a tie in Leading Actor (curious what others think about this), but I feel very confident that there will be 6 nominees, allowing nominations for both Cusack & Soo.

I agree with JBroadway, especially on the DEH front! I'm completely shocked and disappointed that Ben didn't get nominated. If that's not a tour de force performance, I don't know what is. He leaves his whole heart and soul on that stage. The whole show is so beautiful, so it's really too bad it didn't get Outstanding Musical. At least Rachel Bay Jones got a nom! :)

I'm so happy for Rachel—she was incredible and I couldn't believe the lack of love she got at the other awards. I'm surprised by how little attention Tuck is getting. Also, Playwrights Horizons got so much recognition at the other awards—not so much here. I'm also surprised by the fact that Tavi Gevinson hasn't gotten any nominations. I thought at least one of the awards would nominate her. She's incredible in The Crucible.

YES RBJ

I went to this show last night and was absolutely blown away!! So beautiful, powerful, and uplifting—and what incredible performances! I'm crossing my fingers a cast album is produced—the music was gorgeous!!! Was anybody else there? If so, thoughts?
