I also wish Mr. Jbara would have gotten a nod!

Wow..not surprised at Brooklyn and GV, but was All Shook Up completely locked out?

Heh, I've been up all night and just remembered the awards were being announced 2 minutes ago when I saw the notice on the BWW homepage.

I'm not too familiar with the way the Tony noms work, is there a max limit to how many can be in each catgory? And does it depend on what the category is?

...Glad they remembered Laura Linney from her performance almost a YEAR ago...It was definitely that memorable...

Kind of surprised that they left Denzel out just because of who he is...

Happy for the nomination for On Golden Pond...it needs it at the box office...

Pacific Overtures seems to be remembered quite a bit..


Surprised that the hailed Streetcar set didn't receive a nomination...

It's 5 in the acting categories and 4 in the other categories.

I am really not surprised by any of the nominations, except that especially in the play categories really deserving work actually got nominated over some bigger names. Brooklyn, ASU, etc were not going to get noms. And apparently Little Women gave the voters a severe distaste as well.

I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.

Interesting...

The category I'm totally excited about is Best Orchestrations. I thought Piazza had it in the bag, but I totally forgot Pacific Overtures! You can't go wrong with Jonathan Tunick. And Sondheim. So it'll be interesting to see who wins...

Yay for the nominations!

Given its steadily declining box office and its now total shutout of every award possible, I really wouldn't be surprised if Glass Menagerie announced early closing now.

Yeah, I don't see Glass Menagerie sticking around for very long...

This is probably ignorance on my part, but wasn't "The Frogs" eligible for something? (I didn't see it, so I have no real way to judge the merits...)

Little Women deserved so much more! They should have gotton nominations for Maureen McGovern, orchestrations, scenery, and best musical-- at least. At least Sutton got her well-deserved nomination, but the show really deserved a lot more. I found it to be the most enjoyable of the new musicals this season!

Yay Spelling Bee!!! :) :)

I'm surprised Brooklyn didn't get costumes.
I think it's a goner now.

re: And the NOMINATIONS are.....

Very happy for DRS, but would have liked to see Greg Jbara get a nom. Also think Jessie Tyler F. from Spellin Bee should have gotten a nom. Tough field. Yay for Matt Morrison, though.

Not at all surprised about Lithgow, not only deserving but wasn't nominated for "Retreat from Moscow" and I think people remember that.

Biggest surprise: Gary Beach, everyone said he is just "wrong" in that role. As much as I loved him in The Producers, I have not heard anything about his performance that would merit a nom.

2ND biggest surprise: No Christian Borle, everyone I know who saw "SPAM" said he was the best thing in the show, after Sara.

oh--and GO NORBERT!!

The Frogs was technically eligible for everything, because they deemed it a new musical. It just didn't...get anything.

Since Sutton got the nomination, is the show safe for awhile? My wife and girls are going at the end of May...

I still think Piazza has orchestrations in the bag. Tunick merely did a reduction of his earlier 1976 orchestration of the show and -- through no fault of his -- while it was beautiful, it sounded VERY thin with only 6 musicians. Unfortunately, Roundabout's cost cutting demands compromised a brilliant score.

On the other hand, Guettel, Sperling and Coughlin's lush, rich orchestration for its 14 piece orchestra is simply dazzling and should take the award in a walk.

It certainly points to the thrilling season on Broadway!

SO many deserving performances. Still, I'm sorry for some of my particular favorites who were shut out.

DGrant - I think it's sad too about Menagarie but I am not surprised. I am only sad when I think about what might have been with that production.

Lithgow and Beach are two of the most charming and best-liked people in the business. That helps.
