I agree except for like 4 categories - I think Robin De Jesus has a bigger shot than Fitzgerald.. though I did adore that boy in YF.

It's tricky, 'cause they're not all necessairily who I want to win...
I gave it to Fitzgerald 'cause I think they're going to throw YF SOMETHING. Plus I just think FItzgerald is wonderful, and In The Heights is going to get almost everything else.
The one I'm really up in the air about is Musical Scenic Design - depends on if they put the SITPWG projections into the lighting or scenic category...
I also think Paulo has a great shot at LA

Posted: 6/3/08 at 1:10pmI want Kerry Butler to win, I think her peformance in XANADU tops Patti's in GYPSY, it is simply because of Patti's name that people expect her to win! I also would love XANADU to win best musical, all in the heights is, is rap, I don't feel that is enjoyable on Broadway; but thats just my opinion.

re: Elphie3's Official Tony Predictions#7
Posted: 6/3/08 at 1:14pmI'm kinda getting the weird feeling that XANADU is going to win Best Musical...don't ask me why.

I love both "Xanadu" and "ITH", but have to ask you---
Have you seen "ITH"? .... because if you think it's ALL rap... you probably havent seen it.

Posted: 6/3/08 at 1:25pmI've been seriously debating ITH and X - I wonder if the marketing campaign will affect it
re: Elphie3's Official Tony Predictions#10
Posted: 6/3/08 at 2:57pmI think X just might make it happen...its best shots are in the Musical and Book categories--I think it will def win book.
