OMG I can't believe Erin Davie got a nomination!! That is crazy!! Especially over Kelli O'Hara!

No nomination for Kelli O'Hara makes absolutely no sense.

I kind of feel bad for any musical having to go up against HAMILTON this season and next season. It'll probably sweep the Tonys next season, and everything else this season.

I'm happy about:

Dave Malloy for Ghost Quartet

Sting for Last Ship

Let the Right One In 

Iceman Cometh 

Hamilton

Ghosts

Into the Woods

Cesar Alvarez for An Octaroon

Carolee! 

 

I disagree with:

-KELLI O'HARA SNUB (and Laura Michelle Kelly, but that's a bit more understandable) 

-Ken Watanabe, Ruthie Ann Miles and Ahsley Park all getting snubs. Did the nominators even SEE the King and I?

-not nominating John Cariani for Something Rotten, or Paul Nolan for Zhivago

-Matthew Morrison and Annaleigh Ashford's nominations (sorry) 

-Honeymoon in Vegas instead of Finding Neverland for best music (and honestly, I'd put FN above The Visit score too, but I know I'm a minority there) 

-Found, Something Rotten, and The Visit for best book

-Lesley Manville's snub

I didn't see the new Side Show.  Is Silverman's role even a lead?  (I don't remember a leading man in the original production).

 

Having seen both Yazbeck and Watanabe, though, I'd say it's Yazbeck who got robbed.

Some strange nominations but thrilled that The Visit received 7.

"KELLLLIIIIII....."

 

Ugh.

With these set of nominations, these awards have lost any sense of validity for me.

Where as the Outer Critics Circle Awards seem to be picked out of a hat, the Drama Desk Awards nominations are always incredibly predictable. Jason Robert Brown has gotten nominated for every score he's done, Carolee Carmello even got nominated for The Addams Family a few seasons back, etc.

 

The only shocking snub is Kelli O'Hara...

"Having seen both Yazbeck and Watanabe, though, I'd say it's Yazbeck who got robbed."

 Both of them AND Peter Gallagher should have gotten in before Silverman.

Also, I love Carolee and her ridiculous vibrato as much as the next guy, but her getting nominated over Miles, Park, or even Victoria Clark is a little ridiculous.  Her part is tiny, and she's not even that exciting in it.

Can someone explain to me the thing about Andy Blankenbeuhler? He's not nominated for Hamilton, but was given a special award for his choreography? What's the deal there? 

[neonlightsxo]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:48pm

I guess they decided they wanted to give him his own award so he didn't need to be in the competitive category.

These nominations are nonsense.

[songanddanceman2]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:52pm

Why when people on here don't agree with the nominations do they call out the awards been a joke? 

[Robbie2]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:52pm

Carolee Carmello, Finding Neverland ????
Tyne Daly, It Shoulda Been You ???
Elizabeth Stanley, On the Town ??

OVER

Ruthi Ann Miles (KING & I) & Victoria Clark (GIGI)

Well, they will be hopefully nominated for a TONY

 

HUH!? Absolutely ridiculous...don't get it!?

I think they spread out and recognized a lot of great things from earlier in the season that will be otherwise overlooked.

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:53pm

lol Robbie's boutta be upset when the Tonys come out!

[undercoveractor]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:53pm

In my opinion, if one of the twins from SIDE SHOW was going to be nominated it should have been Emily Padgett. 

Very disappointed that John Carianni wasn't on the list. His was the performance in SOMETHING ROTTEN! that impressed me the most....a subtle performance in a show that is full of over-the-top. Brad Oscar & Christian Borle, though solid,seemed to be resting on schtick we've all seen them do many times before.

Robbie, why do you insist on bolding your fonts for no reason?

[SonofRobbieJ]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:55pm

I was gonna call bullsh*t on a bunch of these, but then saw a dear friend and colleague has gotten his first nomination as director, so I'm just gonna go ahead and celebrate that!

[Robbie2]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:57pm

It's ok Neon get back to work not a big deal just doing the bold thing on my reaction

[neonlightsxo]

Posted: 4/23/15 at 2:57pm

Matthew Morrison and Jeremy Kushnier but not Michael Esper & Tony Yazbeck? Okay Drama Desks.

 

Robbie please don't talk to me like a child.
