So, for new musicals you've got:
Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway
Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Grey Gardens
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Mary Poppins
High Fidelity
Spring Awakening
Curtains
The Pirate Queen

Lovemusik

And for revivals:
A Chorus Line
Les Misérables
Company
The Apple Tree
110 in the Shade

Were any of these deemed special theatrical events, specifically The Grinch or Kiki & Herb?

I think Kiki & Herb is in the special event category, with Jay Johnson: The Two and Only

Wouldn't Grinch be a special event too or something--the way Menken's Christmas Carol used to be? (Or was it even? )

This is nitpicking (sorry) but Legally Blonde should say Cambridge not Boston - Harvard is in Cambridge!

Which shows do you guys think are going to win?

For best musical, I think it's going to come down between Curtains, Spring Awakening and Grey Gardens, with Pirate Queen getting a nom. Thoughts?

Cosette: Roses are red. Marius: Violets are blue. Eponine: You're so in love! Marius: And so not with you.

My predictions:
Best Musical Nods:
Grey Gardens
Spring Awakening
Curtains
Legally Blonde or LoveMusik

In my heart, I want GG to win best musical. But, I think it'll be between LB and SA.
GG will get its fair share of awards (actress, featured actress and either book or score, hopefully, and maybe orchestrations and costumes)

So, of the long list of Musicals eligible, the ones which will sweep up most of the nominations will be;

PIRATE QUEEN
GREY GARDENS
LEGALLY BLONDE
SPRING AWAKENING
CURTAINS
LOVEMUSIK

With one or two for;
Mary Poppins (Set?)
Martin Short (??)

Just seems that way to me.

The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

bwaygal1, I think that GREY GARDENS will win Leading Actress and Featured Actress, and hope for (though I have not seen LOVEMUSIK yet) it will win Book and Orchestrations. I feel that Book will be between GREY GARDENS, CURTAINS, and LOVEMUSIK. I believe that Score will go to SPRING AWAKENING, along with Best Featured Actor, and, barring a nomination for LEGALLY BLONDE, Best Musical. This is of course my opinion based only on all new musicals this season with the exception of LOVEMUSIK.

Sounds about right, Foster.
(Sincerely hope best actress, featured at the minimum.)
I actually would rather it win best score than book, because the score is so gorgeous.
(I adore Doug Wright and think he did a fantastic job but the score is so amazing. Can't stop listening!)
Is LoveMusik even eligible for best score?(because it's Kurt Weill's music, mostly).

How many nomination slots are there for reivval and best musical?

LoveMusik's score will not be eligible, however its orchestrations will be.

There are 4 nomination slots for Best Revival and Best Musical.

I really hope that A Chorus Line wins Best Revival!

Why do you guys all think Legally Blond is going to get a nod for best musical? I mean, last year, it probably would have won, but it's just too immature compared to most of this year's musicals to even get a nod.

For best leading actor, I think it may come down to David Hyde Peirce and Raul Esparza, based on reviews of them, but I haven't seen most of the shows up for nominations, so I'm probably not the best judge.

Cosette: Roses are red. Marius: Violets are blue. Eponine: You're so in love! Marius: And so not with you.

GREY GARDENS!!

Ok, wishful thinking, but I'm pulling for it completely.

I want Legally Blonde to win, but if it doesn't get nominated( which would be a surprise) then I would want Grey Gardens to win!

re: List of Musicals in running for tonys?#23

Posted: 4/4/07 at 4:13pm

I agree with Bwaygal1's list of nominees. I think Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening are the real contenders to win. Pirate Queen doesn't have a chance. The buzz on Lovemusik is pretty strong. Should be an interesting few weeks...

[wonderfulwizard11]

re: List of Musicals in running for tonys?#24

Posted: 4/4/07 at 4:16pm

I think at this point, Curtains, GG, and SA are locks. I think who gets the final spot (Blonde or Lovemusik) will depend on reviews, and who get the stronger ones.
