Posted: 5/20/12 at 10:45pmI have to say Nikki M. James winning over Benanti. Also, I really like Norbert but I def. think Rannells should've won.

It may not have been the biggest upset, but in my opinion Idina Menzel over Tonya Pinkins blew my mind!
I still find myself asking the question "really?"

Posted: 5/21/12 at 3:30pmI know it was considered an upset, but I was THRILLED when Christian Hoff won for Jersey Boys. Wasn't Jim Dale winning all of the awards left and right that season leading up to the Tonys?

Obviously I agree about Wicked's loss. Lets not forget Wicked is still running and yet Avenue Q is back off Broadway. It can stay there.
And I was torn between Sutton and Patina for it last year but thinking realistically, I know Sutton deserved it more.

Yes that's right. I thought it was going to be Manoel Felciano to pull off the upset that year. I correctly predicted an upset though. I didn't think the Tonys were going to award Jim's show.
Wasn't Spring Awakening's win for Best Book a bit of an upset? Everyone was predicting Grey Gardens to take that. Ditto Xanadu/Passing Strange.

Posted: 5/21/12 at 3:44pmI'm still bitter over Tonya's loss to Idina.

Posted: 5/22/12 at 2:05am^Just look at the touring results of the two. Apparently that's how they're chosen. Which will forever make me sad.
#36Biggest Tony Upsets?
Posted: 5/22/12 at 2:15amI don't know, I would have given it to Jersey Boys myself.
#37Biggest Tony Upsets?
Posted: 5/22/12 at 2:19am^ Same here. I LOVE Jersey Boys.
