Best Leading Actress in a Musical 2017 — Page 4

Kinky, your quite annoying. Like Neon said, they have a small profit window. They would've had to give out over a thousand tickets to Tony voters. Instead of losing that money, they decided to withdraw from consideration. Maybe it wasn't just because of the money, but that was definitely the biggest reason.

HA, it isn't even "my" thread! I'm a fan of organization, is that so wrong?

Phillypinto has always been annoying, no matter what username he's using today.

I think a lot of these ladies chances are going to be based on how well their shows do.  Amelie, War Paint, Anastasia and Bandstand are all up in the air at this point. All the leading ladies who were nominated the last 2 years, their shows were all nominated for best musical or revival

So they did that because they want other shows to be nominated to try and help them out? That's ****ing dumb. Everybody should be eligible. This is about excellence in theatre, not about helping other shows sell well. 

Also, why isn't the show just running longer anyway? They should find someone to replace Gyllenhaal.

Maybe, possibly, because it's a terrible revival and having his name attached is probably what's drawing their sales.

That sounds more an invitation than insult. But then again, I don't know what you guys are into.

It's generally considered very rude to call someone "insane," because of their theatrical preferences. I certainly have some unconventional favorite shows, but I've never been called insane for them. Nor have I said that to someone who disagrees with me (which, given the mixed response of my favorite show, is quite a lot of folks).

^Not much. The competition is pretty tight this year.

As far as any of us know (unless one of y'all is a voter) everyone has a chance.

I think most people are of the mindset that the Tony is Bette's to lose. Even though I, personally, will be rooting for Christy if she gets nominated (I rooted for Bright Star last year, so I'm used to rooting for the underdog haha). For the record, I always think when people talk about chances before the nominations come out, they're talking about chances for a nomination. But that's probably because I don't even think about wins until after the nominations come out. Though I completely respect and understand that everyone is different in that regard.

I think Christy has the strongest chance of a nomination of the young women. I expect Anastasia to be well received which will help her too. I'd be surprised if she didn't make it. Let's not forget there's still two spaces even when we count Bette, Patti and Christine (if both of the latter two manage to get nominated). 

I'd be 1000000% surprised if Benton isn't nominated. The show's doing well, it was well-received, etc.
