Really needs the whole show to win too to help him out. The show could really use the "BEST MUSICAL (Olivier Award)" sign up around the marquee.

Wow...Amber Riley upsets Glenn Close for Best Actress. I'd still expect to see Glenn get a Tony nomination though for sure.

Nothing, given the fact that he wasn't competing with Ben Platt, Josh Groban, Jon Jon Briones, David Hyde Pierce, Corey Cott, and Christian Borle.

She won't be nominated because she isn't eligible.

Wait? why? Did I miss something somewhere? Or are revival performances not eligible and I've just somehow ignored that over the years?

She already won a Tony for playing Norma the first time, which makes her ineligible.

Is it that she won a tony for the role already? Or she already played the role?

Groundhog Day will be lucky if they get nominated for Best Musical.

This gives it as good a leg as any to stand on for that 4th spot if there's only 4 nominees.

Groundhog Day will have to compete with War Paint, Anastasia, Bandstand, and Bronx Tale for the last spot or two. Amelie and Chocolate Factory are dead.
