The male awards seem right to me.
Tonya Pinkins should have beated Idina.
I can't remember the other candidates for Featured Female, so Anika, I guess
'Caroline or Change' should have won, but Q is fine, I guess

I think Hunter should have won.
And of course, I would have loved it if Raúl had won.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:00amHonestly, I don't think opening another thread is doing any harm. You're the only person, so far, who doesn't seem to mind it.

I didn't say I thought Raul should win! I just said I would have loved it if he had!
And yes, I did see all the performers against Hunter Foster. But he was my favorite.

I think Hunter should have one...
But Hugh was an obvious winner and he kept a show alive...

Ah, I understand. Of last year, my favorite performers weren't alwys who really deserved it - in my opinion. For example:
My favorite performances last year were Euan Morton and Raul Esparza...but as far as awards, I felt that Molina and Cerveris deserved it. Guilty pleasures!

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:10amI looooove Avenue Q, but I was expecting "Wicked" to win best musical. Everything else seemes right.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:42amAvenue Q winning best musical was fine, but I was shocked that they won best book. As funny as it is, I think the book to WIcked is much better

Taboo deserved to win best score, hands down.
I wish Raúl had won, but Cerveris deserved it.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:47amI love wicked, and think in any other year it would have, and should have won, but avenue q deserved it (musical) it was fresh, hip, witty, and the fuzzy feeling you have when you leave the theatre is unsurmountable.

Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:47amQ probably won best score on its lyrics. The actual music isn't really all that exciting.

No, and I can no longer listen to the Cd without wanting to scratch off my ears...
In fact, I don't listen to Wicked anymore - but not because it makes me want to kill myself...
#21re: Last Year's Tonys
Posted: 2/21/05 at 12:50amThe lyrics are a riot, and i love them! No, it's no JRB music, but the lyrics are what broadway needed! AND the tunes, as simple as they are, have people tapping on their chairs/ desks/ cars/ books, etc for WEEKS (and for me, months! haha) after the show

Posted: 2/21/05 at 1:03amYes they may be funny but can funny take away from the fact at how amazing Defying Gravity or For Good are? I dont think so... no contest there..
