Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:29am

Somebody jumped the gun too soon!

That said, great choices all around. CRY-BABY is the commercial choice.

and how the hell did Cheyenne NOT get nominated for Xanadu?
It HAS to be a hacker because you're supposed to get emailed when they're available.

[LuPonatic]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:30am

Maybe Cry Baby will win! Wouldn't that be something.

Ugggg.... Cry-baby.... can you just go away?

[CapnHook]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:31am

1) Arthur Laurents got his nod.

2) Why the love for Cry-Baby over Young Frankenstein.

3) Stephen Sondhem gets the Lifetime Achievement award!!!!!!!!!!

hahahahaha thats so funny that they would pick Cry Baby over YF or TLM, they may as well just thrown a bag of crap at disney amd Mel Brooks and pointed and laughed hahaha

Well done to In The Heights wooh wooh

Who the heck would hack the Tony Awards website?

[WesternSky2]

Do I look at the website now or let the anticipation grow with the announcements? ...

Yay Sondheim!

SERIOUSLY? Cry-Baby?

And at least Andrea Martin and Christopher Fitzgerald scored nominations.

Congrats CRY BABY!!!

While all the nay-sayers were like "what do outer critics know?"
and the "this will close before opening night" and "this will close now that the reviews were negative"...its up for Best Musical.

cry baby does not deserve best musical at all. little mermaid or young franenstein should in cry babys spot. surprised sierra boggess is not there for leading actress.

[algy]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:36am

Yay for Mark Rylance! Hurrah! I'm a long time fan, and he was amazing in Boeing Boeing when I saw it in London last year.

Huzzah!

Any word on which show got the most nominations? I don't feel like counting.

[sesboa]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:37am

If I'm counting it right, South Pacific got 11 noms and Sunday got 9 noms. This is indeed the year of revivals!

edit: oh, and In The Height has 13 noms, Gypsy 7 noms. But don't quote me on these figures. :P Updated On: 5/13/08 at 08:37 AM

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:37am

Cry-Baby being nominated doesn't mean it's a good show. It just means that they had to pick a commercial choice, and it was the lesser of 3 evils.

[TonyVincent]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:38am

Wow, so surprised Cry Baby over A Catered Affair and YF.

If anyone finds these on any betting websites, please let me know :) Thanks!
