I am shocked Colton Ryan was nominated over him

Initial Observations:
* Hecht but not Linney makes very little sense?
* Snubbing Soo/Burnap and Brosnahan/Isaac does not bode well for Camelot / Sidney Burstein
* ABSOLUTELY THRILLED both actors from Topdog/Underdog were nominated- every predictive list that didnt include them (or at least Hawkins) made no sense to me.
* i liked Colton Ryan plenty but over Burnap feels silly.
* similarly, its hard for me to imagine that Lorna Courtney deserves this more than Soo-- again, this does not bode well for Camelot here.

I thought Gavin might get a nod.

Looks like A BEAUTIFUL NOISE got shut out. Hopefully they still perform.

Snorted out loud as "book of a musical" for NY NY. No nomination for Bart Sher or Tommy Kail... I thought the full-staged, fully-produced musicals would get more recognition for those reasons alone.

Anyone else surprised Julia Lester is getting so much recognition? I found her pretty grating in the role and enjoyed Katy Geraghty more.

Dancin too - I am floored it didn’t get at least a lighting nod.
Would be surprised if either perform. Though… with the WGA strike who knows what the show might look like this year, so maybe.

Sound Design for Sweeney is the biggest "huh???" out of the entire list.

“Fully staged” does not equal well staged and effective

Best actor race in a musical will be quite interesting. Will Borle and Ghee cancel each other? Is Groban's voice enough to get him through or could perceived wooden facial expressions mean Ben Platt now has a shot?

Weird how there was all this talk of voters not remembering the show, and yet they snubbed one of the only actors who’s remained with the show this whole time while recognizing his long gone costars. He blanked this whole season and should’ve been nominated, same for Alex Joseph Grayson.

I am a little disappointed in NY, NY in Book... but overall, very happy

This is Groban's year! His Sweeney Todd brought chills down my spine!

Great to see that there were many noms from already closed shows -plays and musicals.
But this noms feel all over the place with no clear frontrunners....but maybe it needs to sink in a bit more.

I didn't feel like there was anything super crazy this morning with nominations. Glad I stuck with my prediction that Bad Cinderella and Dancin' would get totally shut out but I was surprised A Beautiful Noise didn't get anything at all.
Sweeney not getting in for Director makes me think the Revival race is Parade's to lose.
That was a really good showing for NYNY.
Kimberly did well but got nothing in the technical categories (or Allie Mauzy) so we're not looking at a Band's Visit type year for that show.
Sad that Philippa went 0 for 2. I haven't seen Camelot yet but would have loved to see her get in for Into the Woods. I thought she was so wonderful in that.

Nothing egregious but these noms did feel weird... but that's how the Tonys always are.
Posted: 5/2/23 at 9:19am
Thrilled for Brian D'Arcy James, Lorna Courtney, Christian Borle, Julia Lester. I was hoping for all of them.
I'm very happy with this crop of nominees!
Posted: 5/2/23 at 9:19am
Who here was surprised by Julia Lester's nomination? I was not expecting that, but she SOOO deserves it!
Posted: 5/2/23 at 9:20am
How long until Bad Cinderella posts ?

I know I thought the same thing. She was up for featured role in a play (not leading) and a lot more actors are eligible for featured role.
