From W*E*N*N Movie/TV News:
"Rocker Phil Collins is 'desperate' to scoop a Tony Award for his score for new Disney musical Tarzan - to complete his impressive array of career trophies. The former Genesis drummer has an Academy Award, a Golden Globe and numerous Grammy Awards, but he won't be happy until he has collected the coveted Broadway theatre accolade. Collins tells the New York Daily News, 'I didn't do this show for pats on the back. A Tony would be lovely. It hasn't all been straight-ahead wonderful, but I've learned something I never knew how to do from Tarzan. I'd never written for other people to sing on stage and to tell a story.'"

Ok, now it's just obvious you're desperate to be the "funny" one on the board.

"Desperate" perhaps. "Funny," how do you mean?
I just want a Tony.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:04pmAM I the only one that thinks "if you write a good musical you'll be more likely to get one."
when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:15pmWell, at least we know he's composing music for the right reasons!

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:15pmDoes he have enough songs for a Tony nomination? Isn't there a percentage of new material required for a Tony nomination? Does the adapting of the original score count?

Posted: 5/10/06 at 8:24pmWith 9 new songs the score is eligible. Not to say, that it has any real chance to win, even in a weak year.

Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:36amBut my dears u are forgetting who does the nominating/voting! Big names still mean a lot to that incestuous little group NEVER underestimate the Tony committees ability to give when they should ignore and vice versa.Not when the smell of $$ is around.

They should eliminate "Best Score" this year
I liked the DROWSEY score but not enough to win an award.

Posted: 5/11/06 at 11:11amI disagree. Yes, no score of this year is reall strong, but, hey, this award says best score and means best score in relation to all show's scores of this years. It's relative. And, yes, I would even have dedicated a best score in 1989, even then it wasn't all crap that was floating around. And yes, I would give it like you to Drowsy even though it has flaws.

Posted: 5/11/06 at 12:17pmWhat the hell, they gave one to Elton John...
#19re: Phil Collins Wants a TONY
Posted: 5/11/06 at 12:34pmBut that score was completely original and written FOR the stage.

Phil Collins annoys me!
You kind of have to deserve a Tony to win one, Phil. *rollseyes*

I sure hope so Mr Roxy. Both shows were great, but I' d love to see Jersey walk away with actor and muscial, and Drowsy with actress and score.
