Let's be honest, with the grosses Hands on a Hard Body have been pulling in so far there's a shot that nobody will be eligible. I hope that they had set up a reserve when creating their production budget, because I can't imagine they have much of an advance, if any, to keep them floating long enough to get the Tony voters in to see it and secure eligibility.

I love the fact that the front runners for Actor and Supporting Actor both wear dresses in their roles.

I feel like Patina actually has a shot at Best Actress.

Any shot at Hunter Foster nominated for Best Actor?

He would have to decline the nomination, wouldn't he? After selling out to Hollywood appearing on Bunheads with his sister.

I saw an early version of A Christmas Story when it was in Seattle and I enjoyed it and understand from my NYC friends that when it finally got o Broadway it has vastly improve. I would love to hear that several Tony nominations would be given to this show, but am wondering, for a show that has a limited run, do all members of the Tony nominating committee see the show to deem its worthiness of performance nomination?

I would love to see Drood receive some nominations. I understand Jim Norton was great, and I have such fond memories of George Rose's Tony winning performance in this show.

My perfect viewing of the Tony telecast would be numbers from the best musical nominees: Matilda, Kinky Boots, Hands on a Hard Body, and R&H's Cinderella (I suspect the committee will place her in this category).

For Best Musical Revivals, I would be fully satisfied to see only the Mystery of Edwin Drood and Pippin nominated and performed. Sorry Annie, with the exception of Daddy Warbucks, anyone that I talked to who has seen this show says its a real (sandy). However, if they would let us see Jane Lynch performing Miss Hanigan instead of Kristin Chenoweth then I'm all for it.

Why would Kristin Chenoweth be performing anything from Annie on the telecast?

Interesting that many of the MATILDA predictions were made before the show opened on Broadway (or even played any previews). Wondering if people's opinions have changed now that they/ve seen it?? I am not sure it will be the big Tony winner that everyone is predicting.

Jim Norton, IMO, should win a Tony. While Drood was very enjoyable, only Norton's performance was Tony worthy. SJB was good but did not have enough stage time for a best actress nod. Cinderella should win best revival and Osnes a Tony and McClure for Chaplin should most definitely get a nomination.

The only review of a show that matters is your own.

Matilda Is obviously winning Best Musical. It's the only new musical worth noting. It's such a weak year for New musicals. Great revival season though.

Matilda hasn't opened yet and we haven't seen the reviews for that or Motown or Kinky Boots. I'm not sure anything about who will win is obvious at this point.
