Broadway.com Audience Awards 2008

Posted: 5/8/08 at 8:17pm

Voting has started. Let's try to keep it real, unlike last year with tons of undeserved nominations for the girls (and some guys) in Spring Awakening.

Prediciton- Grease wins a bunch of crap. And these awards are crap, by the way. And I always keep it real.

Something tells me Sierra Boggess is going to win Best Actress... just a feeling.

No, Christine Ebersole won (deservedly) last year for G.G. Maybe it'll go to La LuPone.

I'm thinking Grease, Little Mermaid and Spring Awakening will get some that aren't deserved.

I really don't know why I care so much, these don't really matter. lol!

Ok here's a noodle scratcher...how was Lea Salonga not nominated for best replacement in Les Mis? Of course after Daphne's "performance", I think a dying cat would have been an improvement.

Who wants to bet that clay wins for breakthrough performance?

I was thinking the same thing about Lea Salonga. Was she maybe nominated last year since she took over for the role in February or March 2007?

I think it's cute that Noah Weisberg is eligible for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for SOUTH PACIFIC.

I haven't seen a lot of these shows...actually I haven't seen any of the new shows this season. I voted for Glory Days a few times because I feel sorry for that show.

How long has Jonathan Hadary been in Spamalot, because he is by far my favorite replacement. But he's not on the list, was he last time? They only have 5 listed for last season.

I'm pretty sure I saw Jonathan Hadary in Spamalot last January (2007) so he was probably a part of last year's nominations.
