What is going on????

I suspect that what is going on is that you are a drama queen, and the nominating peoples just liked the other people better. ^_^

She didn't get nominated because she didn't deserve one among the possible nominees. She will likely get a Tony nom for her work in Xanadu. Get over it.

Who is Kerry Butler? Wasn't she on AMERICAN IDOL? Who does she play in XANADU?

It is sad she didn't get a nomation, but she'll hopefully be getting some Tony love.

Breathing is good. Just remember that.


And seriously? Relax.

Two of the nominees are from off-Broadway shows so it's fairly certain she'll get a Tony nomination. For fans of the show, it sucks, but at least Cheyenne got nominated.

Kerry is seriously better than Sierra! That's just wrong

LOL relax! The nominations include off-broadway too, she'll get a Tony nom, so chillax!

Awards-shmwards. If she gets 'em, GREAT! If not, it doesn't take away from her talent nor fanbase.

sorry, I just really love her as a performer - I think she is brilliant and especially so with what she has done for Xanadu

"Two of the nominees are from off-Broadway shows so it's fairly certain she'll get a Tony nomination."

Either I don't know how to count, or you don't know what's on Broadway vs. off Broadway. Jenna, Faith, Kelli, Patti, and Sierra are all Broadway. Alice Ripley is the only off-Broadway actress on the list, and the Tonys only nominate 5, not 6. For Kerry to get a nod, somebody needs to get bounced. I would love to see Sierra get left off for Kerry.

I screwed up...I read the list too fast and thought the last two were Off-Broadway.

My bad.

Well, while I do think she deserved it over Sierra Boggess, her not getting nominated isn't exactly some sort of travesty. Even if she does get the Tony nomination everybody seems to think she deserves, she hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of winning. She shouldn't, at least.

I don't think Kerry Butler is as funny as she thinks she is. Maybe others felt the same way?

[munkustrap178]

She was excellent and hysterical in HAIRSPRAY. Everything else, just mediocre.

[sleepyguy1717]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:14pm

Maybe its because she sings through her nose?

Great girl. Bad nasal singing. That's just me.

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:17pm

pardon the ignorance, but... nominated for what?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:19pm

A Drama Desk. The nominations came out this morning.

[Mealz1042]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:24pm

ah, thank you.
it's finals week so i am sort of behind on "current events"

[ray-andallthatjazz86]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:37pm

Well, the reason it is kinda absurd that she got snubbed is because Sierra what's-her-name got nominated for LITTLE MERMAID. They should just have nominated Jodi Benson since Boggess just does a carbon copy of Benson's beautiful voice performance in the film.

[Brave Sir Robin2]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:55pm

Yes, but Sierra is remarkable n Act 2 and has a lovely voice. I love Kerry and XANADU, but MERMAID is just something I'm emotionally attached to.

[WithoutATrace]

Posted: 4/28/08 at 3:57pm

I think Sierra is only a carbon copy of Benson in "Part of Your World," which I'm sure she was directed as such. Audiences for this show want familiarity. Her acting and singing overall though, were fantastic. I'm glad she was nominated.

I can't believe she wasn't nominated!! I'm still like "wtf?!?!?". She's so amazing in Xanadu!! U-N-F-A-I-R!!
