New Tony Predictions? — Page 11

In regard to scenic design, I would have so say scott pask would be nominated for Finding Neverland (maybe even something rotten) over the visit. Don't get me wrong the set for the visit is beautiful but is very simple once the show starts. There are moments in both neverland and rotten where I looked at the scenery and either said "wow that is gorgeous" or "wow that was incredible how they did that"

Did you look at the details of the set for The Visit? Amazing. It is quality over quantity. I am pulling for this brilliant show in many categories.

American in Paris

The Visit

Fun Home

Something Rotten

is this what will be four

ohmygosh if An American in Paris wins the Tony for Best Musical I will literally be DONE with the Tonys

There are still other shows yet to open after American in Paris, and if nothing else Fun Home is likely to get the raves it received off-Broadway, so American in Paris won't have gotten the best reviews this season. And I'm a fan of the show, but it isn't dreary- sad, yes, but it's far from dreary. Plus, as has been established many times (see Once, Gentleman's Guide) the road vote matters less then people like to think.

And I'd be shocked if The Last Ship were nominated over The Visit. Sting will likely be nominated for Best Score, but I don't think the show as a whole will get the nomination.

yeah idk what it is about AAIP, but it doesn't sit well with me. I just think I'm over the whole interpolating gershwin music into a show. I think a lot about Xanadu and Once, and how they were movies, changed the book for the musical, and still had the same music in the musical from the movie, but those shows seem to be more authentic and special to me than An American in Paris. I haven't seen the show yet, but I still hope a more original musical wins

In the musical set design department, I'd personally put Derek McLane's set for GIGI over Michael Yeargan's under-designed KING AND I. I found FINDING NEVERLAND interesting but rarely beautiful. Scott Pask's THE VISIT was indeed a static unit set, but so evocative and well thought out nonetheless. Beowolf Boritt's controversial ON THE TOWN sets also rate a nomination from me. But ultimately I'd say they should all bow down to the pure imagination and execution of Bob Crowley's gorgeous AMERICAN IN PARIS, which ought to win.
