Next year's Tony Awards! 8D

Too soon? Yes, yes, FAR too soon. Really, I just want to confirm that the Roundabout transfer of 'Sunday In The Park With George' will be eligible. It'd be a shame not to have a Sondheim revival to cheer for after 'Sweeney' last year and 'Company' this year.

What else is coming that could be Tony-worthy? 'The Little Mermaid' surely may well end up deserving of technical nods. 'Young Frankenstein' could maybe pull a 'Producers'. Maybe everything that hasn't opened yet will end up sucking and 'Xanadu' will triumph. We just don't know! ^_^

Of course Sunday will be eligible. And a contender, too, hopefully!

With the cast and creative team, I have high hopes for A Catered Affair as well

Ooh, isn't '13' coming to Broadway early next year? I'd like to see some Jason Robert Brown nominations going on if so!

Ah yes! Another one to look forward to!

I hear 13 sucks. Depending on how well it's done, Guys and Dolls could be a HUGE contender for Best Revival. Rock 'n' Roll is sure to be a contender for Best Play.

Can someone post the specifics on "A Catered Affair?" I have heard nothing about it somehow.

Its based on the Bette Davis movie. Look it up.

I can NOT wait to see some clips from Guys and Dolls!

Or you could go to google type it in, go to the old globe website, search playbill, and even search broadwayworld!

Ugh, not looking forward to Guys and Dolls. Though I've never seen a professional production, so maybe that's why.

Is this the London transfer or a new production? Any word on whether Ewan will do it? I'm assuming Jane is busy with 30 Rock

NO. TELL ME NOW. I WILL HAVE NO MORE OF THIS ELUSIVE GOOGLING.

Almost assuredly, the following nominations will occur (assuming that the shows are still open next May -- if not, all bets are off):

Best Actor and Actress for the two leads in Sunday in the Park and for whoever ends up playing Nellie Forbush in South Pacific

Best Revival and Best Director for Sunday in the Park

At least one technical nomination for The Little Mermaid and at least two for Young Frankenstein

Best Play and at least one acting nomination for Rock 'n Roll

Best Score and probably Best Actor for Lin-Manuel Miranda of In the Heights

grease will do "you're the one that" because it will sadly get nominated for best revival

Get over it. Sometimes people on here have better information than googling. And it's a discussion board. Meant for information sharing and discussion, this is all perfectly valid.

I think Little Mermaid and Young Frankenstein, will take the sweep at nominations, although this depends on the quality of Little Mermaid(which I think will be the best Disney show), I think it will be awesome to see YF Vs. LM for the Tony Awards!

[wonderfulwizard11]

Posted: 6/12/07 at 8:05pm

I think Sunday will be a major contendor technically. I can see a nom. for Daniel Evans and Jenna Russel as well.

[mikem]

Posted: 6/12/07 at 8:23pm

I have this weird feeling that Young Frankstein is not going to meet expectations, so I am not sure it will do as well in the Tonys as it could. I am also unsure whether Little Mermaid will be a serious contender either.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 8:24pm

If "A Tale of Two Cities" comes, it could snag a Set nomination. Not sure on the bigger awards though; has much been improved?

[tazber]

Posted: 6/12/07 at 8:46pm

Isn't Jazz by Cy Coleman supposed to arrive on bway next year? And also Leap Of Faith by Menken? He may have 2 noms for score (sepending on Mermaid's eligibility).

I think that Daniel Evans and Jenna Russel (I believe those are their names) of Sunday... will be contenders in the Actor and Actress category. To my knowledge, they're coming across the pond and they're wonderful! (and Olivier award winning!)
