Umm Sutton Foster? really?

and the chick from Billy Elliot is Featured.

I think Foster has a chance for a nomination. She got great reviews in Shrek.

And for Best Musical, I think 9 to 5 is a lock along with Billy Elliot and Next to Normal. I think, at this point, it's Shrek and [title of show] in competition for the last spot.

I love possibilities. Like those playing lead roles wouldn't be a possibility.

Aren't West Side Story songs classics? Thats why I put it.
And for the Oliviers Hayden was nominated for leading so thats why I put her there.

You basically listed every new show this year for Best Score. 13 will not be one of the nominations.

---

I think 9 to 5 has the Best Score lock. I don't care if Elton John wrote it...Billy Elliot's score is boring. Except for maybe "Solidarity"

---

What? South Pacific was not nominated for Best Score.

How old are you?

---

OMG! These people will reproduce. That's scary.

RayJazz asked a great question... how old are you?

9 TO 5, SHREK, and BILLY are locks. We all know that. I promise everything on that. It's the three biggies. They need to nominate them - for the sake of Broadway.

TITLE OF SHOW isn't even confirmed for a return. How the hell could it be nominated???

Also - you need to check your facts.

and lastly... it's way way way too early for this.

and it's the TONYS. or the TONY AWARDS.

not Tony's. This isn't a deli. For christ sakes.

Craig Bierko and Kate Jennings Grant will be leading roles as far as the Tony Awards are concerned (and as far as this show is concerned.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Kate gets shifted to Featured Actress, since she's the only cast member who can.
