Dug up the press release!
After careful deliberation and an emergency late night meeting on March 31st, the Tony Award nominating committee has determined, due to extraordinary belting and dancing, that Jessie Mueller will be considered for Best Actress for her performance as Billie Bendix in NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT. Spence Jasperson III, a most distinguished nominator, said: “This is the first time in history we’ve felt it necessary to alter the rules in this way. After seeing Ms. Mueller’s first performance this past Friday, we realized it would betray our passionate love of rewarding only the best theatre to let her performance go unrecognized, despite not being technically eligible.”
Ms. Mueller could not be reached for comment, but word on the street is that the plaque has already been engraved with her name. The mothers of the children from MATILDA are said to be organizing a protest, but Jasperson said: “It’s really no use, Jessie is just too ‘s wonderful to be denied this year.”

Posted: 4/1/13 at 12:29amDid they speak to the other rumor I heard that due to her upcoming Tony win, they are renaming the show "Nice Work And She Got It"? And the credits changed to read "Starring Jessie Mueller" and in much smaller letters "with Matthew Broderick".

I'm told that she will give a very large-scale press conference ASAP to address all of these developments. I'm sure we're all waiting with baited breath to hear her reaction to all the exciting news!
I also heard Barbra herself has offered to produce and direct a special revival of FUNNY GIRL starring Jessie, where Babs herself will play Mrs. Brice.

Posted: 4/1/13 at 12:58amYou must have heard wrong about that last part. The Streisand-produced Funny Girl remake will star Babs as Fanny and Mueller as Mrs. Brice. Babs wouldn't have it any other way.

You realize you've posted more about being annoyed by the fake threads than anyone else has posted a fake thread?
Jessie Mueller would highly disapprove of this negativity in her kingdom.
