it seems like Curtains has a good chance of winning the Best Musical tony award.
I've seen it twice and i loved it both times!

oh good lord i hope spring awakening wins!
it is just too fantastic not to. their work really needs to be recognized. what amazing performances by every single actor, musician, technical employee, creative tream member ETC.!
i have never ever been truly touched and moved by anything, the way spring awakening had done. i am still starry-eyed, truly. i just felt the music, and i think every other nameless person who saw the show will agree with me. they are so amazing. i really wish the best upon them. what a fantastic and memorable experience this show was.
i just want it to get the recognition is deserves.
go SA!
but don't wish it away, because though i truly believe this IS the best musical on broadway, like someone said before me, how often does the best musical actually win anymore? don't jinx it!but for all their sakes, i hope spring awakening does. it's just that wonderful. *sigh*

hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..

Posted: 1/22/07 at 5:15pmGREY GARDENS, weak first act and all, is still a thousand times more satisfying than SPRING AWAKENING.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Posted: 1/22/07 at 5:45pmCouldn't agree with you more! GG is a wonderful show with a very interesting story. It will tour so much better than SA. Many tours end up in subscription houses around the country, and, face it, the majority of subscribers are usually older and wealthier ... and will be much more interested in the story of the Beales and all of their quirks than the story of teenage sexual anxst and masturbation, abortion, suicide.

Posted: 1/22/07 at 5:46pmIt's a few weeks later and after going through the posts again, one that stuck in my mind was one about how the nominating comittee is made up of New Yorkers who could give a damn about toruing and commercial oppertunities, which brings me to a good point. The nominating comittee should be the voting pool. I trust Brian Stoke Mitchell and Joanna Gleason a helluva lot more than some guy from Indiana who needs some cash, don't you?
