If Spiderman wins anything more than set design, I'll be kind of pissed.

I don't think Ritchie will be nominated based on the role(s) back in Tampa this year, but he would be up for Leading (He plays Jack, Lewis Carroll and the White Knight).

The show has been vastly reworked. Very little remained the same, and since there is a bigger orchestra, it has been reorchestrated enough where songs sound totally different (such as Don't Wanna Fall in Love, but you wouldn't have seen that in Houston). The book isn't as funny, and the story focuses on Alice, pretty much Alice only and is sloppier than ever. Hopefully they did a LOT of fine tuning!

"Together" is now a big production number... think "Legally Blonde Remix"-ish. "Worst Day" has the ensemble singing the "she hasn't got it anymore" verses. Hatter doesn't sing (but although it changed the times I saw it) but one night made an appearance on the "control room" board in behind them, so Alice has an extra verse."Home" is moved to the very opening...

You can search for my review of the last one. Been following the show for years if it puts it in perspective.

Spiderman does deserve stage design. I'm far from a fan of the show, but I have to admit that the set is amazing.

I really want Sister Act, Priscilla, Book of Morm., Wonderland, War Horse and Catch Me to be amazing. Can't wait for the Spring to come.

I really hope the judges pick the best of the best over what they think might be the most forward thinking or interesting...
