I feel all of the acting caterogories and writing caterogories. Best Actor Roger Bart Best Actress Sutton Foster Best Featured Actor Shuler Hensley Best Featured Actress Megan Mulally what else?

I'll bet Andrea Martin is going to be out of control funny, so maybe she'll win herself a Tony... but it's gonna be a great year for musicals at the Tony's this year....we still have to consider In The Heights and Catered Affair. And I wouldn't be surprised if Mermaid cleans up all of the design awards.
I ould also not be surprised if two cities took the design awards. Any way Megan Mulally will have a bigger part so i'm sure if she ill be the one in the caterogory

The show hasn't even begun its out of town tryout yet. We are going to have a MINIMUM of ten musical productions on Broadway this season. There is no basis yet upon which to make any predictions.

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I think YF might get alot of those because alot of the interviews with the cast members have them saying that the set is huge. My favorite one about the set was what Christopher Fitzgerald said when he said that the set makes Wicked look like Gutenberg the musical.
I honestly think that YF will probably be nominated in alot of the categories including Best Musical.
If it's any good then I think it will get noms. in every category (it's eligible for). Hopefully it will not win them all...save some for the other shows.

I won't bother listing awards YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN will definately be nominated for - we haven't even see it. What would happen if the show was a disaster, a failure, a guaranteed-to-offend-those-of-all-races,-creeds,-and-religions show?
I will say, though, that there is no way on Earth that the show will win anywhere near the no. of awards THE PRODUCERS did, simply because the voters will feel they made a mistake giving THE PRODUCERS a record-shattering number when the show started sinking hard the minute the Lane-Broderick Express left.
"Y'know, I think Bertolt Brecht was rolling in his grave."

The category most assured of a nomination is Best Set Design. The only things we've heard about the show is that some people think the script is funny and that the set is huge. Robin Wagner knows what he is doing, and I can't imagine the set will be anything other than big and expensive-looking (ie, a Tony-nominated set design). I think the actors are more vulnerable to bad reviews than the set is.
I think Costumes is pretty close to being in the bag for similar reasons.
