NY Times Chooses Best Musical

In the NY Times article, it says that (their experts) predict a Best Musical win for either Spam or Spelling.

I don't see voters going for another Ave Q so I'll give it to Spam.

Discuss.

I'd say if Spamalot doesn't win, that we should look for a Piazza upset.

Much as I loved Spamalot, I don't think its necessarily deserving of Best Musical. I would love to see either Guettel or Finn get that particular award. Piazza is the most gorgeous thing I've ever heard.

That said...should Spamalot win I will jump in the air with my Christina Apple-tini (remember, I'm having a Tony party) and cheer!:)

My preference is for DRS, but I fear there is no hope.

I won't see Light in the Piazza till a week after the Tony's so I'm hoping DRS wins. Spamalot was very entertaining also.

Spam has lost its early support. DRS is where?

As much as we would all like to see a Q, I'm afraid this year voters will go back to their old tricks and serve Spam.

Spam or DRS

I firmly believe that DRS will win.

And Munk we Agree again...could be wrong as all hell, but I see it as the underdog that everyone will be voting for and just not mentioning...IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST OF THE BUNCH!

Go DRS! I'm not expecting it to win at all, if for nothing else I won't be disappointed if it doesn't but I will be ecstatically surprised if it does.

I'd be pretty pleased if Piazza won as well, feel same way about that. Believing Spam is fav and Bee second, so mine are two underdogs, hope there's an upset!

I would like to see DRS take the win.
I think Spamalot will.

Riedel's picks are virtually identical except in the revival categories where he predicts Virginia Woolf over Twelve Angry Men, and says "La Cage" is on its last legs (the rumor is that it will close in mid-June whether it wins the Tony or not), so the award will probably go to "Sweet Charity" by a nose or, as one voter says, "a broken foot."

Great Tony year. Many surprises.

How sad is it when I agree pretty much completely with Reidel's results, if not his reasoning?

I'm still pulling for a DRS upset.

All I gotta say is thank god we have a quality year. Or we would have had doo doo like Little Women or Chitty nominated.

Where are the good days when we only had 2 Best Musical contenders?
