I ask this question every year, and I always love hearing what everyone says.
Say you had the power to guarantee one 2015 Tony nominee. What/who would be your single dream nomination (either something you don't think will get the actual nomination or something you would just absolutely love to see get recognized)? And why?

Rob McClure's nomination for "Honeymoon in Vegas." He will probably be overlooked because his show closed.

Michael Esper- The Last Ship
He wasn't recognized for The Lyons and he gave an amazing performance. And/Or TLS for best musical. I hope the show isn't forgotten.

I think I would choose The Last Ship for Best Score. I didn't see the show but I absolutely love the recording, and I think Sting should be recognized for his wonderful work.

Geneva Carr for Hand to God. Steven Boyer deserves all the praise he gets for his work, but I thought Carr was doing equally brilliant work- her scene with Michael Oberholtzer in Act One was one of the funniest things I've ever seen on stage, and I'd love to see her work recognized.

I second this! 100%.

I know its not going to happen but I'd love to see Steven Hogget and Scott Graham get a nomination for Choreography for "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime"

I would love to see Renée Fleming get a nomination for Living on Love because, even though I haven't seen it yet, she seems hilarious up there, and she's amazing, and is doing work up there!! She got fantastic reviews too!

I'm gonna agree with the people who are saying the Last Ship. I think it has a pretty good shot at a Best Score nomination already, so my personal pick would be that it gets a Best Musical nomination. I liked it MUCH more than I liked Something Rotten and The Visit, which seem to be 2 very likely contenders for Best Musical.

Yes! Looking back at only the past 5 years, a play has not been nominated for best choreography or movement... so I'd love to see this happen.

Agreed with FutureDirector/GreasedLighting and JBroadway on all points!

Finding Neverland for Best Musical. I really loved the show, and I would love to see snag a nomination.

Kristin Chenoweth for On The 20th Century.
I know a nomination is almost guaranteed at this point, but she just deserves it so much and was snubbed for her last 2 shows (I know people didn't like her much in Promises, but at least The Apple Tree snub is an outrage to this day!)

I was going to say The Last Ship for Best Musical since I personally liked it far better than more likely nominees An American in Paris and The Visit. But since others already came in with that, I'll say:
Judy Kuhn in Fun Home. It's likely that she'll get it, but my fear is that there may just be so much competition in that category from within her own show that she somehow gets left out, and I think she's just doing extraordinary work in Fun Home. Honestly, I'd love to see Kuhn, Lucas, and Skeggs all get in with a Lead Actress nod for Malone.

Another vote for Michael Esper in The Last Ship.

Add me to the LAST SHIP for BEST MUSICAL list.
And I'd be equally happy with FINDING NEVERLAND getting the same.

Fun Home, Best Orchestrations
Only seven players, but everything they play is deeply felt.

One more vote for Michael Esper. Having seen him in equally effective, but wildly diverging, performances in American Idiot, The Lyons, and The Last Ship, I think he's earned this kind of recognition.
I do think the other Michael deserves the actual Tony, though. Cerveris, I mean. :)
