Jaso, it's not the first time that the show that won best book didn't win best musical (i.e., Ragtime).

To put things in perspective I tell myself whether or not my favorite won any awards doesn't take away from my overall enjoyment of that particular show. Am I disappointed at some of the outcomes, yes, but it's not worth losing sleep over.

I really hate the fact the Sweeney did not get best revival.I have no problems with Jersey Boys. The show is really great. The are a lot of things to be considered in judging this category (Best Musical) besides the book and the lyrics. Congrats JERESY BOYS!

i was surprised by some of the wins, but it doesn't mean they don't deserve the award

i'm most upset about DROWSY b/c i wanted a best musical win for it in hopes it could stay open longer.

So you had to start a new thread that sounds exactly like every other post in any thread about anything? That makes it redundant, not "official".

Though I wish some things had turned out differently, I'm glad the Tonys spread the wealth around--unlike the year "The Producers" took every award. Though the only nominated shows I saw were "Sweeney" and "Rabbit Hole," I really feel those who won were deserving. Though I haven't seen it, I don't know if it's fair to call "Jersey Boys" a jukebox muscial. Mabye musical tribute or musical bio, more along the lines of "Love, Janis" or "Lost Highway." "Jersey Boys" is more a musical than "Contact" was. I was very glad that Cynthia Nixon won and I wish "Sweeney" had won more. I guess the thing to remember is that any award show is like comparing apples to oranges. Each nominee is good in their own right and we always want our favorite to win. I'm just happy that Broadway is alive and well and that people care about live theatre at all *get's off soapbox*.

Drowsy should've won (as well as Sweeney), but I'm not so upset.
At least the one that lost the 2003 Tonys deserved to lose.

I completely agree with the first post. Sweeney, Drowsy Chaperone, LuPone...all should have won. I'm extremely upset about Jersey Boys mostly due to the fact that this was the first jukebox musical to win the Best Musical Tony. I can't stand the thought of a jukebox winning this huge Tony honor- it only encourages all those people to write more!! AHH!!!

Yes, I know some people will argue and will debate with me on the importance of jukebox musicals or their role in the Broadway Theatre scene, but jukebox musicals have become an excuse to highlight the lives of pop-stars and legends- shows that should be in Las Vegas, not New York.

I was upset about Chaperone losing Best Musical, Sweeney losing Best Revival and Cerveris and LuPone losing best performance.

Sweeney Todd was cheated. There was so much talent in that production.

SWEENEY DESERVED BEST REVIVAL!!!
PAJAMA GAME??? WTF, HARRY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!



Patti Lupone is fricken amazing!!!!!!!
I think she should've won!
