Nominess Announced for 2007 Broadway.com Audience Awards: Spring Awakening — Page 2

I have never seen the words "Spring Awakening" so many times in my life...

---

the whole Spring Awakening thing is so frustrating - it just proves how gullible our society is to gimmicks like a steamy scene or nudity or whatever. we all know that it was just the annoying little obsessed 13 year old teeny-boppers that voted a hundred times. Some of the noms were deserved, but I think it's ridiculous that in some categories SA was voted over Martin Short - that show was genius and should get a lot more praise.

hopefully the Tony committee sees past the tween obsessions and nominates the really good stuff. SA is fine and should get some noms, don't get me wrong. but to almost overtake the best song & acting categories is ridiculous, there are many more people out there that have worked soooo much harder and are exponentially more talented than the SA cast. What about the ACL cast?? Those people are incredible and didn't get near the praise they deserved. I'm so annoyed by this. people are so gullible = /

Lizzy- why do you think other casts work harder than the SA cast?

I never said anything about the ages of SA. Age has nothing to do with it. But for every show, there gets to be a point where the love extends to too much, and there is a backlash. That;s why people are getting annoyed.

And, I disagree about the amount GG fans post, but that's not what this thread is about.

People need to learn how to separate fans from shows, imo.

Is it really the same people voting over and over, or maybe the demographics for SA favor a more Net-savvy crowd? In any case, this is the same problem and that happens with any on-line poll, which renders them kind of useless.

Hear, hear!! It's the same show when you get into the theatre!!! People are way too into the Internet and what goes on and is said here! Step away from the computer! How is the show being "ruined" for you in the real world? Are there crowds of teenage girls screaming in the audience or something?

Why don't they have categories like set design, lighting, or choreography?

These are laughable. And pathetic.

As an SA fan myself, I find the show to be incredibly moving and would love to see it take home awards. That being said, I don't think it deserves all of the awards. I am biased, and am really happy to see Lea nominated, but I still think it's insane that Donna Murphy didn't get a nomination. On the lines of Lea for Best Breakthrough, she may have made her Broadway debut when she was 8, but she didn't really break-out like she has now. I don't understand how Skylar, Lilli, Lauren, and Remy were nominated. I guess I understand Lilli and Lauren a little, but Remy and Skylar??? Come on. And the song nominations are so weird. Not only are there other great songs this season, but the ones they chose from Spring Awakening aren't even that great.

And as much as I love Lea and Jonathan, if they beat out Christine and Raul for Best Actor and Actress, then there is a problem.

Look at it this way guys. These are messed up, but the Tony nominations come out on Tuesday and they won't be like this at all.

I agree with you completely Emcee. I may be 15 and an SA fan, but I know it's not like, "OMGGZZZZZ BEESSTTT THING EVUURRRR IT'S BETTER THAN ANY SHOW!!!!111"

Vote EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL. Otherwise, you are "a stupid b*tch."
