They don't have a category for movie adaptation yet

Well, when they have a Most Bland Actress on Broadway, then Laura Bell Bundy will certainly win an award, until then, let's leave LEGALLY BLONDE out of the running for any Tony award. Thank you.

They should have won best choreography. (well either Blonde or Mary Poppins)

In all honesty, watching Laura Bell Bundy in Legally Blonde made me feel like I was watching a high school performance.

Legally Blonde doesn't need a Tony. It will run for a long time anyways.

It should have won Choreography and Orfeh should have won over the old one. Mary Louise from Grey Gardens

Mary Poppins should have won choreography.
Orfeh barely deserved her nomination.

I would agree with Mary Poppins winning choreography. NOT Legally Blonde. The ONLY reason Legally Blonde would run for a while is because it was a movie that everyone loved! So they made it into a bland musical? If it has a long run it has absolutely nothing to do with the musical production.

I am sure going into tonight that everyone involved knew they would win none. The only person I thought had a chance was Jerry. They are happy that the show was even nominated.

You can trash Legally Blonde if you wish AnnaK<3LMIP, but Orfeh fully deserved her nomination. Also, in a year without Mary Louise Wilson, she would stand a very good chance at winning IMO. She's an outstanding vocalist and actress and while her diction isn't always tiptop, she's still amazing in my book.

That's fine Mungo, plenty of people don't agree with me on who I like or don't like.

I was also shocked about ORFEHs nomination.. she was EH.. the best thing about Legally Blonde tonight was when Fantasia was singing.. and the shot Laura Bell Bundy.. and she was watching.. and kinda smirking.. probably thinking.. why are you performing at the tonys.. and my show isn't.. and you know what LBB?.. I agree.

LB dont really need the Tony it will run for ages anyway

Spring Awakening etc is gonna need them to keep the shows open

And Spring Awakening for Choreography hahaha as a dancer i couldnt stop laughing , that has some of the most average choreography i have seen this season

When they give a tony award for most abysmal adapation of
a movie to become a musical on Broadway, than Legally Blonde will win.


Worse than Ari ( played 5 performances-adapted from Exodus)

Worse than Big (played for a few months)
Worse than Wedding Singer
Worse than Georgy (the musical of Georgy Girl)
Worse than Carmelina(the musical version of Buena Sera Mrs. Cam[bell)
Worse than Shogun the musical (well actually not worse than Shogun the musical)
Worse than Carrie the Musical.

is it f**k worse than them, its a good fun show and doesn't pretend to be anything more

If Barbara Walsh wasn't nominated, then Orfeh most certainly didn't deserve to be nominated.
