whaaaaaat? Who are YOU?

Says the person who says "It got raves and a love letter by the times. It's definitely getting in"

how do YOU know its definitely getting in. I have never said anything like this show is getting this and this show is getting this. I say things like "i doubt" and "probably." These are only my PREDICTIONS. If you don't like them, oh well!

Phillypinto, just out of curiosity, how old are you?

Phillypinto said he was a freshman in high school when Spider-Man started previews in 2010.

So then he would jut be getting out of HS. He told me he was in the industry. Obviously I didn't believe him.

Obviously it's way too early to tell, but I think Jill Paice is not only likely to be nominated, but may very well win best featured actress in a musical for An American in Paris. I saw it in December, and she is fabulous. Of course politics play into these awards, but I think that's likely to help her more than hurt her. I'm not going to post a full list, but I wanted to mention her as she has been excluded from the other predictions and I want to be on record so that I can come back in June and say I told you so.

"its called a prediction, hater, which i backed up with facts and explained myself. Go back and re-read all of my posts about the musical revivals of the season."

OK, but why are your predictions fine to post, but when a contrary one is proffered, you are writing WRONG and such as a reply?! That is the ridiculous part to me.

Well, to be fair, the reduction of theater to who will, can, and should win a Tony Award is actually the most ridiculous thing, but that ship has sailed for most.

Constellations is a new play while Skylight is actually a revival!

Why are people predicting four nominees for Best Musical Revival. Based on the rules, it may only be three (it could be four). I count only five musical revivals (Side Show, On The Town, On the 20th Century, Gigi and King and I). The rules state:

2(j)(ii)(B)Where there are five or fewer eligible shows in a Best Show
category, at the Tony Nominating Meeting, the Nominating
Committee will be instructed to cast one vote each for three
eligible shows as nominees on his/her secret ballot. Such ballot
shall be collected and tabulated by a representative of the
Accounting Firm. The three eligible shows with the highest
number of votes will automatically be designated as the nominees
in such category. A fourth nominee shall be added to the category
in the event that the Accounting Firm determines that the
difference in votes between the third highest-ranked show and the
fourth highest-ranked show is three votes or less.

^So did the old rule of having to fill out all four slots no matter what change? Such as the cases with The Threepenny Opera, Grease, and Guys & Dolls getting nominations within recent years despite what the critics actually thought of them.

I'm a freshmen in college... College kids aren't in the biz? WRONG! And Bilbo3, you supposedly just joined 2 days ago, how do you already know the things I've said on here months ago?? Hmmm

I'm having a tough time believing Philly is a college freshman. Freshman in high school maybe.

[haterobics]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 12:46pm

"College kids aren't in the biz? WRONG!"

I don't think people were saying college-aged people couldn't be in the biz. They were saying you aren't.

lol you guys are so lame

[acekatherineplumber2]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 1:41pm

I'm ok with being lame. But you're being incredibly immature.

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 1:50pm

How am i being immature? Because I have an opinion? You people don't like it when someone disagrees with you. YOURE the immature one.

[bluetuna]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 1:52pm

To borrow from your lexicon, Phillypinto, "WRONG."

[acekatherineplumber2]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 1:58pm

Your opinions themselves are not immature. The way in which you present them, interact with people on here, and respond to criticism are.

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 2:04pm

WRONG! Maybe because you are reading my words, and don't actually hear the inflection in which they are being said in my head! Thats half of the problem with these message boards...someone says one thing and it can easily be taken the wrong way !

[haterobics]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 2:33pm

"Maybe because you are reading my words, and don't actually hear the inflection in which they are being said in my head!"

It is a message board, not a video blog...

[Bilbo3]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 3:44pm

Philly, just stop. Step away from the computer and take a breather. You are being very rude. The others have explained why you are immature and you should take it into consideration and then come back with a changed attitude.

Anyway. Back on topic. I'm a little surprised I'm not seeing Finding Neverland on many of these predictions. It's a really nice show and I think audiences will eat it up (If Harvey doesn't kill it).

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 3:45pm

lol Bilbo3, you're a creepy idiot

[acekatherineplumber2]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 4:36pm

See, messages like that are why people call you rude, Philly.

[Phillypinto]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 4:43pm

yeah i know, but when someone is gonna make an account 2 days ago and claim that i told him something; something I said a while ago, that is seriously creepy

[Bilbo3]

Posted: 1/27/15 at 4:48pm

It's not creepy because an account deletion happened so I made a new one and all the other board members are aware of that. Claim? You did say it. You said you were an industry member. Of course, I'm talking to the child who thinks bisexuality doesn't exist so why am I even bothering.
