Umm Sutton Foster? really?

and the chick from Billy Elliot is Featured.

I think the telecast is gonna be a bore fest.

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.

Hayden is considered featured and it's still too early, I mean three days ago we didn't know NEXT TO NORMAL would even be around.

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

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:15pm

Josefina Scaglione is basically a lock for a nomination in the leading category.

And why the hell is WSS under best score?

Craig Bierko is leading. Updated On: 2/17/09 at 09:15 PM

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.

Haydn Gwynne

Kudisch

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:19pm

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

[ljay889]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:19pm

The Best Score Tony is for new scores.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:27pm

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"

[broadwaygirl99]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:27pm

then why was South Pacific nominated last year?

[ljay889]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:29pm

What? South Pacific was not nominated for Best Score.

[broadwaygirl99]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:31pm

Sorry I thought it was.

How old are you?

[snarkywannabedreamer]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 9:52pm

that particular show looks pretty sleepy. I hope it doesn't play out that way.

[TheCharleston]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 10:26pm

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.

Maybe the 99 means 1999 so she's 10!?!?! That would def go along with all of her posts! :P

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.)

[broadwaygirl99]

Posted: 2/17/09 at 10:54pm

Why do you care about how old I am? Doesnt anyone ever care about what anyone writes on here anymore? Everyone picks on people and its getting harder and harder for people to express their opinons and isnt that what message boards are for. If you must know I am 16 and I didnt pick 99 for a reason, it was just a number I chose. Now that we have that clear can we please comment on the TONYS and sorry I put Tony's it was mistake get over it.

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

Yes we do care about what people say. Most of you said made no sense appeared to come from a prepubescent girl that's why we asked

"Most of you said made no sense appeared to come from a prepubescent girl that's why we asked"

Pot calling the kettle black.
