Wow, that was a really tight race between Sutton and Victoria. I was hoping it would have been Sutton. Ah well

Noice. Good to see Yazbek and Jbara get em. The fans have spoken.

I was disappointed to see DRS take best score from Piazza, but my anger was not fully kindled until that 246 people voted for Brklyn! Brklyn, for best score!?!? Now come on...

Yeah, Greg!!! Nobody deserves it more. He is a great guy, a terrific talent and truly appreciates his fans! Thanks to everybody who voted for him!

No surprises, really. Go Chitty!

yay for DRS

[Dirty Rotten Scoundrel]

Posted: 6/4/05 at 10:14pm

YEAH DRS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loganp37]

Posted: 6/4/05 at 10:45pm

I only hope that DRS can do as strong at the Tonys and beat out the other shows for Best Musical.

[DoogieB]

Posted: 6/4/05 at 10:54pm

Wouldnt it be nice.

[Pinguin]

Posted: 6/4/05 at 11:48pm

Any poll with DRS winning best score is a silly poll.

Yay Clark and Butz!

These are just for fun guys. I guarentee people who voted for Brooklyn for best anything and Scoundrels for score, don't know all the shows. I'm sure most people said "ohhh I like this show, let me vote for it. I have no idea whether the other shows are good or not cause I know nothing about them, but I'll still vote for the one I saw and liked". This was a little fun, but "The fans have spoken..." probably doesn't hold much weight here.

I can't believe that only 8 votes were between Victoria and Sutton

[Plum]

Posted: 6/5/05 at 12:51am

It reflects the skewed sample we have here, admanrich.

I'm surprised Mike Nichols won over James Lapine for Best Direction in a Musical. I thought "theatre fans" would recognize Lapine's contribution to SPELLING BEE is more substantial than Nichol's work in SPAMALOT.

I knew that we at least love to see DRS won as best musical.
Go DRS

BlueWizard, I believe it is. But I think everyone just fell into the hype and automatically put his name down. I know I voted for Lapine.

I think there may be a surprise for Best Actress at the tonys.

I predict Sherie Renee wins or Sutton.

[Chip1012]

Posted: 6/5/05 at 2:30am

Steven...why did you vote Lapine? I find his direction to be extremely ADD and if you're not in the center seats, you watch backs for 2 hours! I think he really missed a great opportunity with this one. I do love the man though, Sunday in the Park is my bible.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 10:08am

Holy crap...Norbert won by almost 1000 votes?!?! I love it.

As for an upset at the Tonys for Best Actress...I've been telling everyone I think it's gonna happen (which means that if I am saying it...it WON'T happen). I don't know though...I've been reading a lot of things lately that have Christina Applegate gaining on Ms. Clark.
