The 76th Annual Tony Award Nominations (2023)- Page 6

Sara Porkalob getting nominated would be the sign of a glitch in the matrix. while totally undeserved, i'm almost rooting for this insanity just to see the reaction around here. 

Lotta talk here about Burnap: I agree he is doing fine work, and I'd love to see him nominated (along with Platt, Groban and Ghee, who I think are locks). But I think it will turn totally on how these nominators see Camelot. Id be shocked if Camelot picks up a bunch of nominations and Burnap isnt included (along with Donica, and Soo--though she might suffer from being eligible in two categories for two shows).  But if Camelot is frozen out, I expect Burnap to be also...

I'm not much for predicting the politics of these nominations, but in terms of SHOULD, having not seen Groban but assuming hes carrying a solid production, Id choose Groban, Platt, Ghee, Burnap and Colton Ryan, who doing something interesting/different in a dull show.

 

And of the four I've seen, only J Harrison Ghee did something truly special and different (I thought Platt was phenomenal, but doing alot of what we already knew he could do.... Ghee just blew me away).

A BEAUTIFUL NOISE's best odds are Robyn Hurder and Choreography. Though I won't be too surprised if it sneaks in a Best New Musical nomination over NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Kimberly is now selling through October 8.

MadsonMelo said: "I disagree about Donica. His performance was acclaimed but he is in a show that received cold and he is no name at the Tonys. If they refuse to reward the show with noms above the line, he can easily be snubbed."

really all depends on how much they want to give to Camelot. We could wake up tomorrow to 2-3 acting noms, Revival, Book, and a couple of craft noms, or it could be goose-egged (or close to it). I don't think most of us were predicting all that CAROUSEL love back in 2018.

Thinking about how there always are some surprises on Nomination morning. Always some nominees that aren't widely predicted, or nominated for precursors. Lilli Cooper - Tootsie, Caitlin Kinnunen - The Prom, AJ Shively, Sidney DuPont - Paradise Square, Jeanette Bayardelle - Girl from the North Country. There will be some surprises tomorrow morning. Jus hopefully none that sting like Katrina Lenk's egregious omission last year.

Adrianna Hicks is playing the Marilyn Monroe role in Some Like It Hot, not Natasha.

Is there any way to watch the early set of nominations happening at 8:30 on CBS without cable or Paramount Plus? They won’t put that on the YouTube live?

I thought Adrianna Hicks is wildly better in Some Like it Hot than Anna Uzele in New York, New York. Shocked that so many are saying the latter will get a nomination when I found her to be one of the weakest links in her show. Sincerely hope it’s given to someone else.

My sole Tony-wishlist item for this year is an Andrew Burnap nomination. I did love Camelot despite many detractors, and I'm pretty sure 95% of that was because of his performance."

Me too!

I was right in February and then second-guessed myself and put in Anna Uzele in my final predictions instead.
