Im sorry but if Billy walks off with best score (its mediocre and repeats it self so much) and best book (watered down for the stage) then voters need their heads testing.
songanddanceman- I agree 150%.
The score is mediocre at BEST. I have a feeling it will sweep everything anyway, though. Here comes another Spring Awakening year.

Here comes another Spring Awakening year.
I hope not.
I like it better when the Tonys are more evenly distributed. It seems a foregone conclusion that BILLY will win Best Musical. I'm fine with that, but I hope Best Book and Best Score go elsewhere, mainly to NEXT TO NORMAL - which at least has an original book. (I know many BWW members hope [title of show] wins for its book, but Tony voters have short memories and that show closed in October and has no tour going out.)
I still do not see how SPRING AWAKENING nabbed Best Book and Best Score over the (to my mind) far superior GREY GARDENS. Also those two extra awards might have helped GREY GARDENS last a little longer. But that's all in the past now.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

My
Words
I official take back putting Karen Olivo for best Featured actress. Be prepared to be shocked... it would not surprise me if one of the Billy Ladies takes it (even though Karen Deserves it more).
I really hope Olivo wins.
