Nice Mix:)

And I am curious as to what the rules are for the nominating comittees own works? Does being on the committee make them ineligbable for a TONY nomination or win?

I believe if you are affiliated in any way with a production that is to open in the 2007-2008 season, you are ineligible to be on the committee.
