Posted: 3/1/06 at 12:12pmThere are so many ifs and buts and contradictions and exceptions in the eligibility rules for this category that I'm waiting for the Tony committee to put their list of eligible replacements out there and then I might have an opinion.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 12:20pmIt's the Tony for the Re-Creation Of A Role, if we're going to be official about it.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 2:58pmso for those of us who are idiots, what are the basic guidelines for this category?
Don't f*ck with me fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 2:59pmI don't remember offhand, I just remember reading the guidelines and still being confused.

You need to be contracted to do a show for at least six months.
There will be no nominations.
There will be a seperate award for Actor/Actress.
At the TONY ceremony they will just award it. (Or the committee reserves the right to not award it at all, if they feel no replacement is worthy of the award that year.)

Posted: 3/1/06 at 6:11pmFor some reason I severely doubt Hilty would win it.

Is that official now? Last I heard, it was just one award, and not split for actor and actress.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 6:50pmThere's no distinction between actor in a musical or play or between actor and actress, it's just one general award although in the same season the award may go to more than one person or it could not be awarded to anyone.

so if there are no nominees, then the winner MAY not be there to accept it, right?
#21re: REPLACEMENT TONY?
Posted: 3/1/06 at 9:20pmWhy not Hilty? I know a lot of people who think she is the best Glinda out there . . . Personally I have nothing to compare her to but I thought she was great!
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Posted: 3/1/06 at 9:29pmI think, if there is a winner, the TONY committee will invite the winner (and probably some of the others they were considering) so that they don't just give away who they've picked.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 9:33pmHilty will be gone by Tony time. They have to be playing when the awards take place, I believe. I could be wrong.
