Hunter yes.

Jeff no.

To clarify, I think Hunter's more worthy of a nomination.

I think they should share a joint nomination ala Alice & Emily for SIDE SHOW. I truly think one wouldn't work without the other.

I actually think both will be nominated for score/book, and neither will be nominated for performance.

I think one of the girls will probably be nominated in supporting - my guess Susan.

I've got $5 on No nominations in any categories.

Nah - there is a lot of love for the show from the entertainment community (as evidenced by those TOS things on youtube.com). This season is shaping up to be lousy for new musicals (with the exception of BILLY ELLIOT) so I think you'll see some TOS love. Remember its had five years to develop some die hards...

I would actually expect Heidi to get a nod.

I could definitely see this show winning something like Best Book of a Musical if there's no other heavy competition. It's the kind of show that this category loves. Very clever, self-referential; much like Drowsy, Avenue Q, and Spelling Bee.

I can see susan and heidi getting tony noms as well as best original score. My fingers are crossed for best musical, but any other than that would surprise me.

^^^^
Best musical? Are you kidding me? It's a pretty good show with a loyal fanbase, but there is no way in hell that this is going to beat out Billy Elliot, 9 to 5, or Shrek. Sorry honey.

Oh I think there is alot of historical evidence that suggests [tos} could potentially get a nomination for best musical over a musical like 9 to 5 or Shrek...

okay, keyphrase "fingers crossed". i dont expect it to win, but i'm hopin for it. and since when is 'movie-musical' good enough credentials for best musical. best musical should be awarded to the show that is portrayed in such a manor that it gives you a good feeling and makes you think more about the things you do. being a tourist attraction and having a chorus doesn't make you a winner. go ahead and be the teacher's pet and draw in the crowds that only go because "i liked the movie", i stay with a real show that breaks away from the movie and disney musicals
