antonio banderas, Nine

Anita Morris, Nine (based on recording)

Lonette McKee, Show Boat (anyone who surpases Helen Morgan deserves a Tony)

Marin Mazzie, Kiss Me Kate

Valarie Pettiford, Fosse, I love Kristin but Valarie was a leading preformer in a supporting role

Blythe Danner, Follies

Laura Benanti, Into the Woods

Amy Spanger, Kiss Me Kate

Tonya Pinkins (Caroline, or Change)

Laura Benanti (Into the Woods)

Carolee Carmello (Parade)

Jonathan Pryce (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels)

Definitely Carolee Carmello for "Parade." As much as I love Bernadette Peters, she was just an okay Annie Oakley, and Carolee deserved that Tony sooooo much more, in my opinion.

Also, Barbra Streisand for "Funny Girl." I LOATHE Carol Channing. I think Barbra should have one that one.

Totally agree with Jonathan Pryce for DRS. Also Rachel York for Victor/Victoria.

Bernadette Peters for Gypsy
either Jennifer Laura Thompson or Nancy Opel for Urinetown

[rosekwbp]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 12:09am

YES! Bernadette Peters for Gypsy

[BroadwayChica]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 12:11am

Brian Stokes Mitchell, Ragtime
Hunter Foster, Urinetown

And I will agree tenfold on:

Amy Spanger - Kiss Me, Kate,
Bernadette Peters - Gypsy

Ethel Merman (Gypsy)

I have a slight infatuation with Stephanie Block. I was fortunate enough to see her run in "The Boy From Oz", man she is fierce. The competition that year was fierce as well.

I think she lost to Idina Menzel?

I also think I remember this post on the boards earlier, so if Ms. Block was aformentioned, I apologize.

Whoever said Blythe Danner from Follies was DEAD ON!

and I also agree with Bernadette in Gypsy...saw the production when I was younger, because one of my workshop teachers was in the ensemble.

Yeah.

Bernadette Peters, GYPSY

Marin Mazzie, RAGTIME or KISS ME, KATE

Donna Murphy, Wonderful Town

Terrence Mann, Les Miserables

Raul Esparza, Taboo

Brian Stokes Mitchell for Ragtime.

Tonya Pinkins for Caroline, or Change.

[Chrysanthemum62001]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:26am

Well, Raul Esparza. But I wouldn't say for Taboo.

It *should* be for The Normal Heart, but that obviously didn't work out. He also should have been given a special one for Cabaret.

[MTVMANN]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:28am

How about Mary Stuart Masterson for NINE?

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:29am

how did take 14 replies before Tonya Pinkins was mentioned? That was most egregrious bit of highway robbery ever. That woman deserved 2 or 3 tony's for that performance in Caroline or Change.

[cathywellerstein]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:30am

Maria Friedman, The Woman in White
Mandy Gonzalez, Dance of The Vampires
Brian Stokes Mitchell, Ragtime
Hunter Foster, Urinetown
Susan Egan, Cabaret

[overthemoon419]

Posted: 5/31/06 at 1:33am

Word about Mandy Gonzalez.

Julie Danao-Salkin, LENNON
Will Chase, LENNON


And, Chrysanthemum, I just think Raul should get ALL the Tonys. Ever. =)

Welcome to the boards, Jetteson! All I have to say is PIRATE QUEEN!!

jetteson, Stephanie J. Block was not nominated for her performence in The Boy From Oz, but if she was, its more likely that she would have been nominated for Featured Actress than Leading Actress (the category that Idina won) since Liza Minelli is not a leading role in The Boy From Oz.

Another vote for Brian Strokes Mitchell in Ragtime

Raúl Esparza, for Taboo. And honestly, if there hadn't been such a royal f*ckup with The Normal Heart, and the plans to move to Broadway went through, he'd have one by now. He'll win for Company, and if he doesn't, well, I pre-emptively curse the voters.
