I'm thrilled for Disgraced being remembered in Best Play! I thought it would have been overlooked due to the onslaught of well-received new plays this spring.

It did win the Pulitzer. Deserves a Best Play nod.
Sadly having anyone from the same show usually spreads votes in the category. It's great for Fun Home, but Ruthie might have a shot if voters spread them out.
A little surprised nothing for Side Show or Honeymoon. They've been good in recent years with honoring well received closed shows in a few categories. Guess The Last Ship got that honor, this year.
"I didn't expect Neverland to get snubbed. I thought Grammer, set, lights, and maybe score. Alas, twas not to be."
I am so grad the nominations showed creativity over money this year. I am going to NYC this year I am so happy that the tony committiee chose that list
really wasn't expecting AN AMERICAN IN PARIS to get 12 nominations. Kudos!!! Not much to complain about.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I guess the JRB spell has been broken. He usually gets at least a nomination for his music for each show. I would have taken Sting out and put him in there.
Also I am surprised that DZ didn't get at least set.
And I thought SIDE SHOW was excellent and should have gotten something.
I guess that is what happens Neverland when you throw your leading man under the bus.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Oh, absolutely! I saw it just before it closed and thought it one of the best plays of the season. I just thought the Fall opening and early closing would work against it, so I'm happily surprised to see it remembered.
