Posted: 4/25/09 at 9:05amAre you planning on doing that in May or after the Tony-winning musical contest is done in June?

Posted: 4/25/09 at 3:10pmCan't they both go on at the same time? I really enjoy the actress one and I cannot wait for the best musical one.

first off, why is the voting happening only in the very early morning?
and second, how did you decide which musicals will be facing off each other?

Posted: 4/25/09 at 4:11pmAlso: Why does EVITA and Annie have bys? I can understand 'A Chorus Line' and 'Cats'...so why not Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera?

To answer questions...
I post the new competition for the day at 5:50 AM and it continues until 5:40 AM the NEXT day.
I randomly decided which musicals would compete against each other.
The byes were also decided randomly, but I have decided to change them to the four longest-running Tony-winning musicals.

By the way, the fact that Sweeney Todd is up against A Little Night Music saddens me.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
