Not all that surprising. Just a question of which category Audra takes.

So Audra is officially in Play. The Lady Day rulings are the only ones I think they made a mistake on. Interestingly, Margot Seibert is now in Featured Actress based on this. I'd LOVE to see her get a nod there.

No mention of Cabaret...

She's eligible for nomination as Actress in a Play since the show was ruled a play.
Surprised at no petitioning some Casa Valentina men into Leading. Also no mention of Cabaret issues.

I highly doubt Margo Siebert will get a nod-that is a packed category.
I think Audra was going to win regardless. (But for the record, I think it's a musical, but whatever.)

I may have missed it before, but is Marin Mazzie in lead or featured?
#9

Featured. Also... CABARET IS ELIGIBLE?!!!
#10
Posted: 4/25/14 at 1:24pm
Marin is in Featured since they only ruled Zach Braff Leading.

Cabaret is eligible for best revival. I'm kind of surprised they are making it eligible. Only person not eligible from the show is Cumming.
#12
Posted: 4/25/14 at 1:24pm
According to the BWW article, CABARET will be eligible for Best Revival and all respective acting categories except for Cumming.

She has a reasonable shot there-it was a good move to leave her in the featured category. (Although she doesn't seem to have garnered much pre-Tony attention.)
Am I correct in assuming that Cabaret is not eligible for director? (It won that the last time.)

WTF to CABARET.

Good question about Mendes, dreaming. I'm assuming he's ineligible.
....but the world goes 'round

Guys - the only reason Cabaret is eligible is because there aren't enough nominees to fill the ballot in that category.

ALADDIN's score is ELIGIBLE!

Because “Cabaret” is eligible for Best Revival, does that mean all the creative/technical aspects of the show (set, costumes, etc.) are also eligible or no?

I think their reasoning behind deeminCabaret elligible has to do with the 3 year rule. It states a production will be eligible im the revival catagory if it hasn't played on Broadway or the greater New city are in last 3 years. It makes no mention of a productions originality.

My guess is that they won't be, but the article obviously wasn't very specific.

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Is this similar to the Chorus Line revival being eligible even though it was, essentially, the exact same production as the original, minus the updated orchestrations.

It makes sense but who knows?

As for CABARET filling the ballot - whether it was eligible or not, there are only three slots to fill. A fourth slot will only happen if there are 3 or fewer votes difference between third and fourth place.

Santo Loquasto was nominated for Best Costume Design of a Musical for the revival of Ragtime, but was later disqualified when it was determined that the designs were largely the same as the ones he had done for the original production. My guess would be that this would be a precedent for the design elements of Cabaret not being eligible.

LOL to Courtney Reed as Leading. Didn't Disney do this with Kara Lindsay a few years back?
And it seems like they deemed Cabaret eligible just to have it on the telecast...
Happy to see Lady Day is a play.
