You did it! Never mind the choreography doesn't suit you nor does the song suit your particular voice. You got a nomination!!! Kind of takes all the prestige out of the Tonys.

hahahaha. I totally agree. Charlotte is also waaaay too old for this part. Casting her was a mistake -- giving her a Tony nomination is beyond ridiculous.

I know..totally!
That b*tch Charlotte!
Who does she think she is?
I mean, she goes to work, submits her name and the Tony Committee nominates her! The nerve she has! Yeah! Let's be mature and start a thread to bash her even though it's not her fault she was nominated! I'll bring the torches.

While you obviously can't blame Charlotte, I'm extremely upset she took Erin Davie's deserved nomination.

At least now you can do a little spring cleaning of your signature line there.

Looks like bashing to me.

Blame the Tony Committee if you aren't happy.
Does it matter really? D'Amboise, Davie, etc....none of them have a shot in h*ll at winning.

On the age thing... I always thought Cassie was SUPPOSED to be older. Maybe I interpreted wrong...

C- I know. Makes me sad.

Princeton- Of course it matters. She (or someone else besides Charlotte) deserved that recognition.

Well, some people thought Charlotte deserved the recognition. I wasn't impressed with Davie at all.

I think there is no need to blame Charlotte in getting a Tony nom however, she is miscast and I find it frightening that the Tony committee found her performance worthy.

I'd hoped if any females were picked out of "A Chorus Line," it would have been Alisan Porter, but I knew that was beyond a long shot.

No one is blaming Charlotte. She is miscast.

But isn't Cassie the dream role of dancers all around the country? They REALLY couldn't find anyone better? It's ridiculous.

Ugh. I love Donna McKechnie.

"While you obviously can't blame Charlotte, I'm extremely upset she took Erin Davie's deserved nomination"

1-She didn't take anything from anyone.

2- Charlotte was obviously excellent in the role, and this nomination is very well deserved.

It's an excellent role. She was not excellent IN it. Big difference.

Yeah. it means some people think she deserves it. That's all. Doesn't mean everyone has to agree. =P If the Tony nominations were somehow repsonsible for dictating taste and opinion to all, I'd be concerned. Bigtime.

I certainly don't agree with many Tony winners or nominations. But this one, I find it to be very deserving.

And like Felicia says...

Funny, I was going to tell you to look at your signature.

No, munk, they just want to.
