Last year it was cutting and pasting old comments about Memphis, and Hunter and Jen pissed off about their red-carpet fiasco.
Predict what will cause all of us to swear we will never watch the Tony awards again.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:40amI think for many on here, myself included, it will be if Laura Benanti doesn't pick up her second Tony.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 6/12/11 at 9:58amI may have a meltdown if anyone but Susan Stroman takes Best Director of a Musical. I'll try keep it to myself, though!

If Rory O'Malley wins, there will be meltdowns. There are regulars here who honestly don't remember who he is in the show. There are other regulars who swear he's actually a gay Mormon so he's not acting. And still others hate Book of Mormon and will resent every win because it's not as offensive as they expected the South Park Guys' musical to be.
Barring that, I'm thinking another bad performance from Spider-Man could steal the night. There will be people mad that show is performing at all. If they bomb, it'll be a bloodbath.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 10:06amI'm guessing we'll see meltdowns over the Sutton/Patina outcome. Plus the Mark Rylance debate flaring over his win/loss.

^That.
And if Sutton doesn't win.
I like your imperturbable perspicacity.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 11:10amThere will be a big Mormon backlash if it wins in some of its more underserved categories-- Score, Actor, Featured Actor and Actress, etc.

It's BWW- unless Stephen Sondheim magically descends from the rafters and claims every award on behalf of himself and Patti LuPone, people will be having meltdowns.
Is the consensus really that Mormon shouldn't win score or actor though? Really?! Melt away all you want about those- I'll be celebrating when it rightfully takes them both. (hopefully)

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I don't think people would be too wrapped up in Andy Rannells winning. There were a few Gad-related posts that seemed to put him down. Same with Rory O'Malley.

Crazy. Wasn't there a string of Mark Rylance bashing a while back as well? Seems that the only meltdown-proof best actor pick is Joe Mantello then, yeah?
Interesting that Gad has more detractors than Rannells. I'd prefer Rannells to win, because I really think he is playing the 'straight man' role better than anyone else in recent Bway musical comedy history, but Gad was quite hilarious as well, and elevates the jokes to a whole new level.

Posted: 6/12/11 at 1:09pmI don't think Book of Mormon deserves any awards other than Best Musical. It's a great show, but other shows out do it in score, acting, design, and direction.
#15Predict it! What will be the biggest post-Tonys melt-down?
Posted: 6/12/11 at 1:11pmQuick question off topic - are they showing the design awards on air this year or will they be done before the telecast again?

I had no idea there was such ugly anti-Rory O'Malley feeling on this board.
That just makes me root for him more than ever.

I wouldn't be upset if Rylance won. I want Mantello to take it home very very badly but I'm not going to lose my sh*t if he doesn't.
If Tony Sheldon wins however, I'll throw my microwave at the TV.
