Any ideas?
Personally, i'd love to see Borle take home this award. But I don't think he will...

John Gallagher, Jr. is my choice - and I also think he will actually win as well.
There were quite a few ommissions in this category, such as not limited to, Jason Danieley and Edward Hibbert of Curtains...

No offense, Gallagher naysayers, but weren't all y'all saying that Jason Danieley had it in the bag? That it was McMartin's year? That Edward Hibbert had it hands down?
Well, none of them were nominated. In fact, the only one of the names that has been thrown around amidst our whole season of predicting the nominees who actually ended up getting nominated was Gallagher.

Cullum has won two Tony Awards. If any of the featured musical actors this season were going to get a "Lifetime Achievement" Award, it would have been John McMartin, who has been nominated five times and lost every time. Cullum has gotten plenty of recognition for well-deserved performances.
He doesn't need a "Pity Tony" the same way Angela Lansbury doesn't need one. It's time to inaugurate some fresh faces into the community.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 12:24pmDefinitely Gallagher for me. I wasn't blown away by Pittu's performance.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 12:31pmGallagher left absolutely no impression on me whatsoever.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 1:22pmWhile I think Gallagher has the advantage, I would not be at all surprised if it went to Christian Borle, who is actually giving a very solid performance in Legally Blonde. I would be really surprised if the award went to Pittu, Cullum, or Brooks A.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 3:15pmMost people find LB to be an underwhelming show with and underwhelming leading lady with a much loved and incredibly talented supporting cast, so if they are going to take it anywhere, it will be here. Here more likely than with Orfeh, she has stiffer compitition.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 3:19pmI'd love to have Gallagher win, but I see Pittu taking it home this year. But who knows, it could be an upset a la Dale vs Hoff style.

Posted: 5/18/07 at 3:23pmIt's Gallagher all the way. I saw the show. What his character went through, I'd give him my old ribbons from summer camp he was that good.

Did you see LOVEMUSIK?
Because, if not, you can't give an accurate opinion of who gave the greater performance.

I haven't seen it yet.
Do you think you could elaborate?

I saw LOVEMUSIK, and the only logic anyone has provided here as to why they believe Pittu will win is the fact that he is not in SPRING AWAKENING -- which, despite the way it's viewed on here, received across the board raves, while LOVEMUSIK was mostly panned, save for Cerveris and Murphy's performances. It didn't even manage to get a nomination for Best Musical.
Any other logical reason for why you guys say Pittu will win? And don't say it's because his is the best performance, because we all know that that's only a small part of the reason why someone wins.
