Genuinely shocked that Actress in a Musical only had 5 noms...sucks for Helen J. Shen

Does anyone know if Smash is eligible for Original Score? I've seen people say it isn't for obvious reasons, but I've also seen it listed as a contender by some reputable sources. The Tony committee didn't announce any ruling on its score, unless I missed it.

Even the world building of the show didn’t help with that."These were my two biggest notes after seeing it in Chicago, kinda surprised they didn’t finesse these parts of the book at all…curious to...

It’s replaced with a monologue where Valentin describes the political rally from the song but Diego Luna (as with the rest of his performance) underplays it in a way that’s pretty uninspiring.

Actors from closed musicals don't win Tonys - a simple but unfortunate fact (plays are a different story)

I haven't seen a ton of talk about what's going to win the design categories. It doesn't feel like a year where one play/musical sweeps everything, so how do we think those categories are gonna go?

One thing is for certain, and that's that I don't think any of the Into the Woods actors are winning. Voters are really allergic to awarding actors from closed musicals - the last one to do it was Martin Short for Little Me way back in 1999. I remember when plenty were predicting Sharon D. Clarke last year, and this rule still held true.

I truly believe Into the Woods has the best book in all of musical theatre.Memphis is a bad winner but that year was, famously, ROUGH

While Clarke obviously feels like a winner, I just can't shake the fact that Tony voters hate voting for performances from closed shows - the last one to win was Martin Short for Little Me all the way back in 1999. So I think it's probably Lenk, although Kalukango stands a good chance if voters don't mind voting for a great performance in a mediocre show.

Gray seems like a pretty easy way to reward the cast as a whole, and I feel like she'll get caught up in the kind of sweep that the Tonys love to do lately.

“Three Bedroom House” from Bat Boy

We gotta get Kate Winslet her T. And I second Emily Blunt, in a musical or a play.

As always, it’s good to see NY talent getting cast in things like this.

WAITING FOR GUFFMAN is the most accurate movie about theatre ever made.

As long as SpongeBob wins as few Tonys as possible, I'm happy. ANYWAY. Best Director of a Musical almost always goes to the winner of Best Musical or Revival (only 3 times this century has that not been the case). That being said, I wouldn't be too surprised if Musical went to BAND'S VISIT, Revival went to MY FAIR LADY, and Director went to ONCE ON THIS ISLAND.

Truly devastating, she was a legend.

And no one who saw it will every forget the phone sex production number or the prostitutes heading to Washington DC in their Bob Mackie outfits or Siegfred and Roy being played by a single person or all that neon or the live horse or the not so now far fetched plot point of Miss Mona becoming president."#revivethisCaroline, or Change is, of course, a masterpiece...

I. Can't. Wait.

Has anybody rushed Matilda since winter break started? I was looking to try it this Wednesday.
