You have contradictedyourself so many times on here that nothing you post about this is at all credible."
Hard to blame mrshowbiz at this point. They are clearly unstable and you all still engage! Remarkable.

I fear the cult-like buzz for Scherzinger will carry the day, but it really is an interesting dichotomy here-- Audra has the "tougher" role, powering through with grace and sheer force for 2.5 hours, carrying a middling revival on her back to great effect. But Jasmine lifts Boop off the ground and woos us with charm/charisma in a character thats almost the total opposite of Mama Rose.
Which is more worthy of accolades? I dont know but I hope thats the question Tony voters find themselves asking.
oh Mr Showbiz…..Gurl.. what are you on?

Do they consider YOU a friend though? Or do they mumble under their breath when they see you coming?

Ooooh could the female lead in a Jerry Mitchell musical take the trophy from Mama Rose again?!
I'd absolutely die. Great performance in a nit great show. Meryl in Iron Lady Teas.

Sure it could happen.
It won't, of course –– the colossal difference is Hairspray was *the* show of the season, that Gypsy was not as well-received as Audra's, and Marisa got swept up in the love for Hairspray.
The equivalent this year would be someone like Helen Shen benefitting from vote-splitting, but I really don't think that will happen.
It's funny to consider last year vs. this year. Last year, Jasmine probably would have won the Tony due to a weak race. This year, there's a chance she doesn't even get nominated despite being intrinsic to the enjoyment of Boop.

I think it's great that the Tony race is between two women of color and the third dark horse is also a woman of color.

Thanks so much for being engaged

I would be shocked, frankly, if she's not nominated. The performance she's giving is very reminiscent of Sutton's breakout moment in Millie. Whether or not she wins because of who else is eligible in the category remains to be seen, but I think her not being nominated would be a huge snub.
I HOPE Jasmine is nominated and it's the start of a long career. But I think no matter what happens there are going to be some great ladies left out of the Actress race.
I loved Old Friends and it’s a must see. But no way it should be nominated for anything .

I would venture to guess that Idina, Robyn, Bernadette, Lea, and Sutton will be left out. Smash splits up the the material across the "lead" roles too much, Old Friends is essentially a concert, Idina has done far better work than Redwood which was also not received well by just about anyone, and Mattress was AGES ago at this point. I feel like we're likely to get Nicole, Audra, Jasmine, Megan, and Jennifer with a potential 6th slot as we've seen in recent seasons for Helen. Adrienne is a wildcard for me at this point.
Jasmine Amy Rogers for president! #diva #obsessed #chillPeople!
Yes, this. Ignore, disregard.
