Posted: 4/25/14 at 9:04pmYou can argue back and forth about the musicals. But wasn't The Glass Menagerie about the best reviewed revival of a play of all time?

Can someone please explain the special awards? If The Realistic Joneses was so "special" why didn't it get any regular nominations? Or is "special" just a synonym for snub - but we want stars at the ceremony?

Virginia Woolf was pretty well reviewed too I believe. In any case, I saw both of these revivals. They were both brilliant. Hope the Tonys right this wrong.

Posted: 4/25/14 at 9:53pmThe Drama Desks usually award two ensembles each year. Typically, the members of these ensembles are ineligible for individual awards.

Posted: 4/25/14 at 10:05pm^ I was watching the nominations livestream, and indeed they said the Special 'Ensemble Award' recipients were ineligible in the other categories as a result of their Special Award.

Posted: 4/26/14 at 1:39amI found the fact that Kinky Boots last season not being nominated quite weird. I also found the fact that Aladdin get a best book nom is ridiculous but even more absurd costumes and sets not getting nominated what the fact???

Posted: 4/26/14 at 10:40amHas the role of Amanda ever secured a Tony nomination. Cherry Jones was excellent but Glass is truly an ensemble piece...wonderful that Brian J. Smith and Celia Keenan-Bolger were nominated. Also there have been several revivals of Glass on Broadway and none have ever been nominated for a Tony Award, either for production or director. So why the great surprise.

Posted: 4/26/14 at 10:55amThe surprise stems from this production being lauded as the second coming. I have no doubt Menagerie will perform well on Tuesday, but regardless this is still quite bizarre.

Posted: 4/26/14 at 8:05pmI dunno. Menagerie didn't really stick with me like it did others. I was much more interested in Audra's performance.
