Happy that they paid THE BAND'S VISIT some attention, unlike the Drama League.

Will ANDY KARL win??

I love all of the love for The Band's Visit!
Also, only 1 Broadway leading man in the Best Actor in a Play category.

For Best off-Broadway musical? It was great! And what other off-Broadway musical would you have nominated in its place? Certainly not Ride the Cyclone.

I had forgotten that Shuffle Along would be considered this year, and I am glad to see their phenomenal choreography and costumes acknowledged with nominations!
Having not seen The Little Foxes, is it weird that Laura Linney was nominated in leading and Cynthia Nixon in featured...?

Not at all, and it's likely that's how they'll be considered for the Tonys as well.

The producers have made it clear to nominators that they are submitting Linney for Leading and Nixon for Featured, so it is the performances where Linney is on for Regina and Nixon for Birdie that nominators will be given tickets to. Nothing weird about it.

Got it. I don't know much about the show, only that they each play both roles, so I was just curious. Thanks!

I didn't see Sutton Foster nominated for Lead Actress in Sweet Charity. Anyone know what happened there?
Posted: 4/25/17 at 11:55am
Even with Groban and Platt out Briones wasn't nominated.

Shocked to not see Sutton Foster or Jon Jon nominated

Ooof not a good showing for Bandstand. Sutton Foster not getting nominated is just weird.
Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:07pm
The Foster snub would bother me less if they hadn't nominated Hensely.

Yay Anastasia 
Surprised to see the lack of love for Great Comet and Miss Saigon

Only the new elements from Comet were eligible (but even so, neither Groban nor Benton were nominated!)

Maybe we shouldn't count Anastasia out at the Tonys then.

The OCC have a tendency of over-nominating shows that end up getting little-to-no Tony love. Last year they gave 8 nominations to American Psycho.

Never forget when YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN or 9 TO 5 lead the nominations in their respective years.
Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:24pm
The OCC never has and never will be any sort of indicator for Tony success. No weight should be given to them.
Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:29pm
Another round of nonsensical nominations this year.
Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:34pm
But I don't think it's hard to see Bronx Tale getting Tony love. It's doing well at the box office, got a NYT critics pick, and Alan Menken wrote it.
Posted: 4/25/17 at 12:39pm
In a season with Dolly, DEH, Comet, and Come From Away, it's very easy to see how Bronx Tale could be forgotten. I constantly forget it's even running.
