Do you only know of like 3 shows? Shrek will NOT get that many nominations. And you but Billy Eliot and 9 to 5 for everything. Hair will get more and so will West Side Story. WSS will get a Set nom. Hair will definitely get a lighting nom.

Is this a joke? For one thing, I can tell you James Barbour won't get nominated. Unlike his pedophilia, I'm guessing Tony voters have completely forgotten about his performance.

And why make your own thread? You already posted these boneheaded predictions in the big thread.
