Best Leading Actor/Actres at the Tonys?!

Posted: 3/8/05 at 5:35pm

Does anyone have any predictions? I feel another Sutton Foster win (for being the saving grace in that show) and maybe a win for Butz. Curious to find out other people's feelings?!

Norbert is my pick for best actor(duh!) but I'm not sure about best actress. Last year was a great year for actresses but I'm not sure about this season.

We did this thread last week I think; I'm not sure about what they'll be and don't wanna make any predictions until I see some shows next week but from the buzz I'd say Eden, Sutton, Sherie, and probably Christina Applegate because big names always help for leading female and for leading men it's a rough one, NLB, Tim Curry, Gary Beach, John Lithgowe, Raul Esparza maybe?

I heard that Christina Applegate wasn't that great in sweet charity... so does she really deserve a Tony nomination?

At this point it seems that Norbert Leo Butz will win the Best Actor in a Musical Tony, although "Spamalot" NY reviews haven't come out yet...

Im hoping Tim Curry will get a nomination. Hes great in Spamalot.

Applegate and CHARITY haven't even gotten to New York yet so how can anyone say whether or not she deserves a nomination yet? The role is one of the most physically demanding in the musical theatre, so it's almost certain Applegate will be nominated just for having the guts to take it on.
