Surprised to see no Amber Gray. Also Anastasia didn't get much love either... Thrilled for Jenn Colella!

Completely shut out:
-Charlie
-Amelie
-A Bronx Tale
-Cats
-Sunset Boulevard
-The Encounter (with the obvious exception of their Special Tony)
-Oh, Hello
-The Cherry Orchard
-Les Liaisons Dangereuses
-In Transit
-Significant Other
I'm most sad about Amber Grey, personally.

I know any nomination for FALSETTOS should probably be considered a victory, but i REALLY want it to win just 1 of the 5. I don't even care which one.

Surprised Kate Whoriskey was snubbed for directing Sweat (and the show didn't receive any design nominations). I would have put her in over Sam Gold for A Doll's House, which I loved but whose direction was similar to that of the west coast production.

So annoying that a dreadful show like The Great Comet got nominated.
Also, super super bummed that Gideon got snubbed. His performance was beyond!

VERY disappointed in no Gideon Glick.
Also, Anastasia only got two nominations! Crazy.

Wasn't expecting too much for Anastasia but man, I was really pulling for Christy Altomare to get a nom

No best score for War Paint is really odd. "PINK" is quite a fantastic song.

Boy! Anastasia & Amelie were snubbed! Also Josh Groban over Jon Jon Briones? I don't think so! I hate the political games the Tony committee plays because someone is a celebrity. So much inconsistency with the number of nominees in each category. I am very surprised that there weren't at least 5 Best Musical nominees. IMO, too much love for Comet. Blah!
Theater anywhere, anytime and with anyone. It's my passion.

No big surprises, except for Mike Faist, who is an unbelievably welcome one. I'm absolutely thrilled for the Falsettos cast; by far my favorite show of the season, and I'm glad that all four (adult) actors snagged a nom.

Even though the reviews for Amelie were not good, I still feel badly for Philippa Soo. These also don't bode well for Bandstand either.

Absolutely thrilled for the cast + creative of A Doll's House Part 2. Also very happy for the Falsettos cast! Biggest surprises for me are no Gideon Glick, no Allison Janney, Mike Faist getting into a very crowded category, and Groundhog Day and Jitney love (not saying that either didn't deserve it, just reaped more bids than I was expecting).

THATS WHAT IM SAYING. In all seriousness I didn't care for Groundhog Day's score. I hope we get Christine singing it on the Tony's or at least them both doing Face To Face.

The only categories I got totally right was Direction of Musical, and Best Musical.
SHOCKED about Anastasia!
I'm pretty sure "Sunset Boulevard" was also shut out...I thought Orchestrations At LEAST was a lock.
DEH's total is kinda low, IMO, but they got shut out of a few of the technical things, but I'll say it again, MIKE FAIST HOLY SH*T.
GOOD for Falsettos. It is always nice to see closed shows get love. ALSO, should be interesting to see how "Charlie" markets that: they DO have a 2017 Tony Nominee as their lead. Just...not for that show.

I am THRILLED with these nominations. I don't remember the last time I wholeheartedly agreed so much with award nominations (of any kind!).

Really surprised by the lack of Great Comet in the featured actress category and Mike Faists inclusion in the featured actor category.

So delighted to see Mike Faist nominated!! Wow! Feel bad that Will Roland was not also nominated, as his part was more of a balancing act and he did it well.
Very surprised at no Amber Gray, and sad that Gideon Glick did not get a nomination.

I totally forgot about A Bronx Tale.

I would say David Hyde Pierce is one of my least favorite parts of the show and he feels totally miscast in the role.

A Bronx Tale, In Transit, Sunset Blvd., Charlie and Amélie entirely SHUT OUT!
Janney was snubbed, Parker too! Funny and to show how lead actor was weak, both their co-star got nominated!
The cast of Doll's House and Falsettos basically all in, AMAZING!
Hello, Dolly! and The Great Comet with most noms, predictable, but deserving.
How did Field was the sole nominee for Menagerie??? Outrageous!
Just like the last Mackintosh revival, the production only got nominated for Best Revival and the lead star lol
They do love Condola Rashad, don't they?
Faist didn't deserved this nomination, imo.

THREE-TIME TONY NOMINEE ANDY KARL!!!!!
GROUNDHOG did better than I anticipated... but it's sorta like voters only saw the four nominated musicals LOL... Can he beat BEN PLATT??? Or is it a done deal??
I hope ANDREW RANNELLS or BRANDON URANOWITZ wins FEATURED!!!!!

The shocking Musical moments for me, both good and bad...
- No 5th slot? Wow! With all the shows this year that almost feels like a slap in the face to the likes of Anastasia, War Paint, and Bandstand that they didn't come close enough.
- Saigon over Sunset was REALLY want I wanted but didn't expect to happen so that's VERY pleasing.
- Going off that, NOTHING for Sunset at all? Not even Orchestrations. Ouch.
- No Altomare! Nooooooooooooo!!!
- Eva Noblezada yes but Jon Jon Briones no? Wrong one got the nom.
- Mike Faist slipping in feature actor, the nomination I didn't see coming and I didn't realize I wanted until it happened
But..... the BIG shocker of all shockers....
- Mary Beth Peil gets in featured actress over BOTH Great Comet women AND O'Connor in her own show?! Of EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in that show... THIS is 50% of it's nominations?! WOW! WHAT THE HELL?!

YAY! So happy for Eva! "Unfortunately" I do think Bette (who I love love love) will win (not saying I think she is better than Eva, but hey politics), but so glad Eva got a nomination, thought she was snubbed at the Oliviers <3

I'm so happy for all of the ADHP2 love. I expected them to get 3 noms, maybe 6 but 8 is insane. Very well deserved.
