Posted: 3/20/06 at 12:47pmI was wondering, in case anyone happened to know this early, who is hosting the Tony awards this year? Will it be Hugh Jackman again?

Posted: 3/20/06 at 12:51pmOprah was the big rumor, but that seems to have died off. Won't Jackman be doing Boy from Oz in Oz at that time?

Posted: 3/20/06 at 1:13pmI'm wondering if they are going to try and get Harry Connick Jr.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 3:58pmI wouldn't be surprised if Lane and Broderick were approached.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 4:04pmNever thought about Julia Roberts. But I wouldn't be suprised. I am sure they would feel that she might bring in more viewers. I think they should get Oprah to do it. Her legions of fans would probably tune in. And all she would have to say on her show is "Watch the Tonys" and they are probably there. A bit scary that one person has that much power!!!

Posted: 3/20/06 at 4:09pmEllen DeGeneres would be the best. Can't you just see her performing in the opening number with the casts of the various best musical nominees?

I would like to see John Lithgow host.
I could see Connick Jr. hosting but because he will likely be in the running I think it would be a bit strange.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 4:10pmNow THAT would be fun!

Posted: 3/20/06 at 4:14pmDidn't Hugh Jackman host when he was in the running?
#12re: I know it's a bit early to ask...
Posted: 3/20/06 at 4:19pmSeveral performers have hosted when they were nominated. Close, Lane, Broderick, Jackman...

Posted: 3/20/06 at 6:21pmMy money is on Harry Connick Jr.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 6:28pmdid all the hosts that were nominated win? that's what I don't like. its likes "if you host, you'll win."
#15re: I know it's a bit early to ask...
Posted: 3/20/06 at 6:34pmBroderick didn't, but Lane, Close, and Jackman did. To give Lane credit, he did host another year where he was snubbed of a nomination.

Posted: 3/20/06 at 6:38pmI like the Ellen DeGeneres suggestion. She'd be so much fun. What about Billy Crystal? (He should've hosted last year, but...)

Posted: 3/20/06 at 7:21pmEllen would be fun, but is she a big theatre person?
