Will Lesli get nominated for a Tony Award this year? I believe she is billed as featured.

Not sure, especially with the show closing, but she sure deserves it!

If she's not nominated it'll be a damn shame, with how phenomenal she is in that show.

If not for Dames she needs to reprise her Olivier winning role from zorro on Broadway so she can finally have a tony.

She did get rave reviews in Dames at Sea, so we'll see.

As well as whoever ends up being the critical darling(s) in American Psycho and/or Bright Star.

I agree that her work in Dames most definitely warrants a nomination. She was my favorite part of this production. I really think she should have been recognized with a nomination for Matilda as well.
