Best Lyrics: DRS

Funniest Lyrics: DRS

Best Music: Piazza (for breath and ravishingness)

Best individual song, and name the Song: DRS - "Nothing Is to Wonderful to be True"

Best Male Song, and name it: "Passegiata" Piazza

Best Female Song, and name it: "Here I Am" DRS or "Fable" Piazza

Best Duet, and name it: "Say It Somehow" Piazza

Best overall score: tie
a) Piazza for a forward thinking MT score
b) DRS for a tuneful, funny, wonderful Musical Comedy score

As much as I like Piazza, I feel that DRS will probably live in my CD player more often. Its catchy, funny and winningly sung (though I tend to fast forward through Lithgow's solos). But I lay odds that Yazbeck will have a new show on Bway before Guettel does (maybe even 2).

Best Lyrics: Piazza, for its poetry
Funniest Lyrics: Spelling Bee is the most smart-funny, I think, which is my favorite kind of humor. DRS is endearingly goofy but some of the rhymes are painful. Spamalot is bland with a few bits of brilliance, but mostly doesn't approach the intelligent hilarity of vintage Python material.
Best Music: Piazza, no question.
Best individual Song: Fable, from Piazza
Best Male Song, and name it: Love to Me from Piazza
Best Female Song, and name it: Fable again, The Beauty Is as runner-up
Best Duet, and name it: Say it Somehow. I don't like Love is My Legs much, but Nothing Is Too Wonderful To Be True is very nice, and the lyrics crack me up a bit at the end.
Best Trio: The I Love You Song (because I wanted to mention Bee in here somewhere)
Best overall score: Piazza!
