Tony Noms

Who are you guys predicting for Tony noms for best musical, revival, play, actor, actress, supporting.. etc? The best actress in a musical is going to be crazy and I'm interested in who everyone thinks will get nods..

I'm actually not sure if Hunter Foster will score a Best Actor nomination.

1. Hugh Jackman
2. John Tartaglia
3. Alfred Molina
4-5. A dogfight between Foster, Euan Morton, and maybe someone from Assassins or Bombay Dreams, depending on the Tony commitee's rulings.

I would give Wicked a chance at Best Choreography, Book, and Score, but I'll be pretty disappointed if Joel Grey gets a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. With Mitchel David Federan, Raul Esparza, and all the men from Assassins in there, Grey just doesn't merit it this year.

Same with Kerry Butler for Best Actress. The field in that category is an absolute killer this year, and someone with mixed reviews just isn't going to make it. I'd say nominations will go to the two Wicked ladies, Donna Murphy, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, and Tonya Pinkins.

Best musical? Wicked, Avenue Q; Caroline, or Change; and then...a dogfight between Taboo, Boy From Oz, and Bombay Dreams...unless Assassins is ruled a new musical, in which case those last three have no chance at the last slot.

And that's all I have to say for now. :)

i personally feel the WIN of the leading ladies will be between Idina and Donna.

Wicked will probably get the most.
As for leading actress category...Definately Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenoweth, Tonya Pinkins and Donna Murphy. I'm really hoping that for some reason they place Kerry Butler in that fifth slot (I know I'm a minority here)

I hope Douglas Sills and Hunter Foster get nominations as well.

I would love to see Norbert Leo Butz get a nomination over Joel Grey because I thought Norbert stood out more. Again, I'm probably a minority here and this seems very unlikely to happen anyway.

In terms of technical stuff, I really hope WICKED will win for lighting and costumes...

I really hope that Raul Esparza gets the recognition he deserves for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for TABOO! Also for Euan Morton to get a Best Actor in a Musical nod would be great too! Does anyone know when Tony Awards tickets go on sale and where I can get them?

The most horrifying thing about this thread is ballet3689's icon. And ya know why? Cause I know the lyrics to the song Jessie, Lisa and and Kelly are singing in that pic:

Put your mind to it
Go for it
Get down and break a sweat
Rock and roll
You ain't seen nothin' yet.

I love the very special episode of SAVED BY THE BELL. Jessie hooked on caffeine pills! DRAMA

Oh...and to keep on topic...if Michael Cerveris does not win Best Supporting Actor in a musical, attention has NOT been paid.

hope Euan Morton is nominated and for best score Taboo. Actress can go to anyone hope either Kristin or Idina.

Oh, beg to differ...I found Euan handling the acting as well as the singing, & I sure hope he is remembered come Tony Noms. He went from Sweet to Sour & I think did it quite well

Also am hopeful Esparza is remembered

Alas something tells me my beloved TABOO will be forgotten

(((((((((((((( SOB )))))))))))))))

um....hopefully the Score will be getting a nod, also MAYBE Euan, as well

Though dammit Esparza deserves to be recognized

Yes, they are.

ive seen wicked, but based on the recording alone i kinda wish avenue q would win best musical, as unfair it sounds to prefer a show you havnt seen... but i really do love the cd. im going to see it next month. im pulling for idina for best actress though, due to a comination of amazing talent and dedication.
these are some tight races though, sheesh. lead actor seems like the only sure thing, though im not sure that those exist...

Why is everyone so sure Jackman is gonna win?
