Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:10pmI just saw the show and thought she stole the whole thing. I was hoping someone could explain to me why she wasn't even nominated for a Tony??

Like this:
"Hey, do you think we should nominate Andrea Burns?"
"No."
"OK."

Posted: 7/13/08 at 3:27pmIt sucks, but I feel like she'll get a nom eventually. She truly is a wonderful performer!

Who would you have eliminated to nominate her?
She was good, but the five women nominated were better.

Posted: 7/13/08 at 4:25pmI LOVE Andrea Burns but I really felt she was a cartoon in a world full of real people in In the Heights....just sayin...

Posted: 7/13/08 at 4:53pmI thought everyone in In the Heights, Burns included, was a cartoon.

Posted: 7/13/08 at 4:56pmBetter question: Why wasn't Mary Testa and/or Jackie Hoffman nominated?

Again, I have to ask, who would you eliminate?
de'Adre Aziza?
Laura Benanti?
Andrea Martin?
Olga Merediz?
Loretta Ables-Sayre?
The only of those nominees I would consider eliminating would be de'Adre Aziza, and I wouldn't remove her in favor of Burns. I would, however, do it for a Hoffman/Testa joint nomination, though.

Olga Merediz.
I was NOT overly impressed with her performance and, for me, Andrea Martin didn't do anything.
I would have enjoyed seeing a Testa/Hoffman nomination

Posted: 7/13/08 at 5:39pmYou would eliminate Loretta Ables-Sayre? Did you see South Pacific?
