Coram Boy's score is mostly Handel, no?
I honestly can't see Legally Blonde getting a Best Score nod. I'd go for Fame Becomes Me...
In fact, if I were on the nominating committee, I'd put up FBM for most of the major awards this year: best musical, best lead actor, best featured actress, best score, best book...

Posted: 4/22/07 at 5:04pmOh wait. There are four. That's just for the acting categories.

I'm not sure about this, but I think that Adrian Sutton's original music for CORAM BOY would be eligible -- not to say that it'll get a nomination, though. Sutton has written at least four original compositions for the show (basicaly all of the music other than Handel's Messiah).

Posted: 4/22/07 at 6:03pmI think it'll be: Spring Awakening, Grey Gardens, Legally Blonde, and Curtains (with LB being replaced possibly by Fame Becomes Me).

GREY GARDENS, SPRING AWAKENING, FAME BECOMES ME, CURTAINS.
I highly doubt that LEGALLY BLONDE will get a nomination for Best Score over FAME BECOMES ME. I agree with Yankee that FAME BECOMES ME deserves the Best Book slot over LEGALLY BLONDE as well -- but Best Book is going to be a tight category to fill. GREY GARDENS, SPRING AWAKENING, FAME BECOMES ME, CURTAINS, and LOVEMUSIK will all be contenders. Personally, I would knock out CURTAINS for Best Book and keep FAME BECOMES ME and LOVEMUSIK. LEGALLY BLONDE has no shot at Best Book. They took a well-constructed screenplay and turned it into a mess. I would also nominate FAME BECOMES ME for Best Musical over CURTAINS.

I agree Foster, I hope the nom committee doesn't forget about FAME. It certainly was a better show than CURTAINS or BLONDE.
It will be a very exciting race this year!

Posted: 4/22/07 at 6:19pmFame Becomes Me was funny and tuneful (and better than Legally Blonde) but I enjoyed and found Curtains' craft to be a lot better. Fame Becomes Me was a cartoony sketch comedy show was really great new material and a big (and uber talented) star.

Besides Twelfth Night, didn't Much Ado About Nothing get a best score nomination way back in 1973?
Personally, I'm not enthusiastic about Legally Blonde or Fame Becomes Me - but Curtains, Grey Gardens and what I would give the award to, Spring Awakening, all are locks as far as I'm concerned. (Spring Awakening should win!)

The nominees will be Spring Awakening, Grey Gardens, Curtains, and LEgally Blonde.
Spring Awakening will probably win, but I think Curtains also has a good chance.

Posted: 5/11/07 at 1:22pmAny chance for Poppins? Its not a good show, but I did like the new lyrics for the classics and the new songs.

Posted: 5/11/07 at 1:29pmI hate the new songs for POPPINS. "Anything Can Happen" ruined the entire show. What an awful song for a finale.

Having now seen all of the contenders for Best Score, I would nominate:
MARTIN SHORT: FAME BECOMES ME
GREY GARDENS
SPRING AWAKENING
CORAM BOY
They are easily the BEST scores this season.

But the question is, what will be?
Politics wise, Curtains has the sentementality going for it. And I think though Coram Boy may have the better score (I don't know), COU has the energy of being the better reveiwed play (That is, if they give a spot to a play).

CORAM BOY and UTOPIA will not get nominated.
I think we're realistically looking at:
CURTAINS
GREY GARDENS
SPRING AWAKENING
MARTIN SHORT

I like THE PIRATE QUEEN score.
(ducking from the crap that's gonna be thrown at me)
But I think Munk's list is right.
GREY GARDENS is my favorite of that pack.

SHOULD is the term there, Munk. Will it? Probably not! SA will probably win. GG's score is incredible. The only one this season I can't stop listening to!
Maybe we'll be surprised. (I still say GG will surprise everyone and get a load of nods and may very well take away a slew of them, too.)
