Jenna Russell for Sunday in the Park With George. She's brilliant in a brilliant production of a brilliant show.

I really think a lot of people still haven't seen South Pacific.

I vote EVERY DAMN THING IN SOUTH PACIFIC!! Flawless, IMHO.
Direction, acting, singing, scenic design, lighting design, sound design (perfection, in a huge black space), choreography, staging, orchestra, harpist, ...everything!

Jenna Russell for leading actress because she's absolutely brilliant.

Posted: 6/7/08 at 10:30pmEither Amy Morton or Patti LuPone. Both of their performances were a masterclass in acting for me. They made me a better actress through watching them.

Xanadu for Best Musical.
It deserves it... or maybe it was because In The Heights bored me to death.

Posted: 6/7/08 at 11:03pmi might just say Kerry Butler for Xanadu because I love her

Posted: 6/7/08 at 11:14pmEither Eve Best for best actress, because I think she gave the best performance this year, or The Seafarer or The 39 Steps for best play just so August wouldn't win.

CRY-BABY for Choreography.
Rob Ashford is a Tony darling. And IN THE HEIGHTS is going win enough already.

Posted: 6/7/08 at 11:29pmEasy choice - Xanadu for best musical.
#40re: If YOU could choose one and only one 2008 Tony winner, who/what would i
Posted: 6/8/08 at 2:02amAlso Andy Blankenbuehler for choreography. It will probably happen anyway, but just in case.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 2:05amI would give Sam Buntrock Best Direction of a Musical for "Sunday in the Park with George". Thomas Kail will most likely be getting this award, though.

Xanadu for Best Musical!!!
I just saw it for the first time today after seeing all of the other nominees in the category, and Xanadu just blew everything out of the water. The most fun I've had at the theatre since Avenue Q, which has a lot in common with this show including its Tony potential.
Also, South Pacific for everything, including Kelli O'Hara.
YES IT CAN.

Rob Ashford for Crybaby
He was robbed for Curtains so he should get this besides the fact that its the best of the season
I would also like 39 Steps as best play but it will not happen. I tried watching the movie the other night & it was boring & dated. The show however was another story.

Posted: 6/8/08 at 10:44amKelli O'Hara, no question. If I got a second one though, it would be Xanadu for Best Musical.
