apdarcey, I agree with your picks for best musical but I guess that's not going to happen.
I guess I'll throw my two cents in about all of this.

Aren't they breaking up best score into music and lyrics this year?
i think the mention of DRACULA and any tony is wierd

no, score is one component, music and lyrics.. the change that did occur is that there will be design awards for both plays and music.
sets, costumes, lighting, sound

Suprises... I'm thinking someone in Brooklyn (Keller, Derricks, or Espinosa) giving someone a run for their money.
Christian Borle should definitely get a nomination. He was the best thing about that show I think.
