"Best Musical" 2007 TONY Contenders

I dont know that I agree with your nominations...

I think Grey Gardens is an easy lock for a nomination.

Honestly, I would probably make some changes to the list...Having thought about it, I don't know *what kind of reception* HIGH FIDELITY will receive. If nothing else, they'll get the nod for their set design. I feel that CURTAINS and SPRING AWAKENING will both garner nominations. THE PIRATE QUEEN, depending on the changes made before they make the move to the Hilton...That could make or break their chances. If nothing else, Schonberg and Boublil will have a moderately successful run (I hope, I hope!) I think Ebersole will take Leading Actress, though. All I'm hearing is that the first act of GREY GARDENS pretty much falls flat...I don't know if that's worthy enough of a nomination. The acting's superb. I don't know which show would be better off taking the last slot.

Spring Awakening
Grey Gardens
Curtains
Lovemusik

Newsflash: High Fidelity is probably the worst thing running right now, besides that lack of creative out put in that show, its poorly written and makes little to no sense at all. It looks like the grabbed random people off the streets and asked them to run around like a lunatic on stage for a few numbers!

LoL!

You'll have to forgive me...Call it flip-flopping if you'd like. Just trying to get the ball rolling on this one. It's not like I have any say, so what hte hell does it matter? I just kinda pulled 'em out of the air...Didn't give much thought to the picks yet. I'll have a list with my reasoning behind it soon enough.

I hope it does include Grey Gardens, aswell.

Haha - I shall certainly try my best!

Well of course The Times... is gonna win! jk

Legally Blonde and The Pirate Queen will most likely recive noms. for score and leading actress. As for Best Musical, I think it is far too early to make a prediction, but if forced, I would say:

Grey Gardens
The Pirate Queen
Mary Poppins
Curtains

Mary Poppins****
Curtains
Grey Gardens
pirate queen

-maybe legally blonde in stead of pirate queen

Grey Gardens
Mary Poppins
Curtains
4 Slot Open (Spring Awakening, Legally Blonde, The Pirate Queen)

It won't be.

I see Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening getting nominated. Don't know about the other ones. Maybe Mary Poppins. But Disney wasn't so kind to them last year. Although, in all fairness, last year's Disney entry looks like theme park crap. Mary Poppins is amazing. Even though one cast member totally screwed over The Company Theatre.

PSYCHE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just pullin' a Bryan on you guys!!!!!

But, seriously, I do see Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening as definite and Mary Poppins as a possibility.
