Re. Musicals: The producers of "Matilda" and "Pippin" should be very happy come Monday morning. I agree with tazber (see below).
(Exception: Orchestrations to "Motown".)

Is it really possible that "Kinky Boots" could get *zero* Tonys?
That would be a devistating blow to what is, essentially, a niche production.

The NY Times piece Healy wrote today really helped me solidify my predictions. Here goes..

Best Director of a Play: George C Wolfe, LUCKY GUY
Best Leading Actor in a Play: Tracy Letts, VIRGINIA WOOLF
Best Leading Actress in a Play: Cicely Tyson, BOUNTIFUL
Best Featured Actor in a Play: Danny Burstein, GOLDEN BOY
Best Featured Actress in a Play: Judith Light, ASSEMBLED PARTIES
Best Scenic Design of a Play: THE NANCE
Best Costume Design of a Play: THE NANCE
Best Lighting Design of a Play: No disrespect, but I don't know or care
Best Sound Design of a Play: Ditto

I hope the gestapo who started this thread won't mind me explaining two things--

Tom Hanks has yet to win a single award other than the Theater World Award. He's great, love his enthusiasm, but I'm still doubtful he'll win. I think IF the Tony voters want to honor Ephron and LUCKY GUY, they'll honor George Wolfe.

And I think Danny Burtstein will get the Tony for similar reasons why Stokes won for KISS ME, KATE. Stokes gave a brilliant performance in RAGTIME, yet Alan Cumming was fierce competition. So he won the next time at bat. Burstein was brilliant in FOLLIES, but that category last year was quite tough. And he's been around forever and deserves a little recognition.

Not saying who SHOULD win, mind you. Saying who I think WILL. Happy?

Interesting that the tide has turned to Osnes in these most recent weeks...

[jeffmiele]

Posted: 6/6/13 at 11:16pm

Osnes was a perfect Cinderella but do you think she really has a shot over Patina? For some reason I really can't latch onto that prediction.

[ucjrdude902]

Posted: 6/6/13 at 11:19pm

I think it depends what you think of each performance and what you saw? I can say I know for a fact that the producers of "Cinderella" invested some SERIOUS money in a campaign crafted around Osnes while mentioning their other nomination but mainly it was her.

[bdn223]

Posted: 6/7/13 at 1:53am

As ucjrdude902 said Cinderella's producers knew what they could compete for and spent money in those categories. Cinderella's only nominated categories where they they could be seen as competitive were Costumes, Orchestrations and Laura Osnes. Of those nominations they will likely go 2/3 and possibly 3/3. In knowing that their was no real chance at best revival, they dropped out of the TV appearance game and instead just headed up Osnes for appearances with voters.

If Miller loses she can blame the fact that she is overshadowed by the rest of the praise her production will receive. The Weissler's probably want Patina to win, but they probably, like most, thought she was a lock once the Matilda's were ruled ineligible. While the Weisslers were spending tons of money on campaigning for Diane Paulus and Chet Walker, along with all of the design awards, Osnes' "Kindness" slowly started to outshine Miller's "Seductive Magic". When Pippin is truly competing for all of the awards it is nominated 10! some are bound to fall by the wayside, which unfortunately for Patina is her Best Actress.

Osnes and Patina both give amazing performances, and it is hard to pick one that is better. The more I think about a Tony Award being an award given after a campaign, I think if most are torn between the two, Osnes' incredibly nice and cordial personality may just be the feather that tips scales for just enough voters.
