What does everyone think of the Tony Preview Concert that will featured performances by the 12 eligible musicals from this season? Also, what other musical is ineligible (Grinch is one)? I'm assuming Grease, but I thought it wasn't getting nominations because it sucked. Also, what do you all think each show will perform?

Is the concert only being Broadcast in the NY area? If so, I really don't see why CBS is taking the time to do this. It seems that maybe they are doing it to boost ratings. If so, I would think they might want to make it a primetime special to get people across the country to watch the awards. Just my thoughts.

I looked on my DVR and it's not on there for 5/11/08 at 7:00. Is it just NY?

It is being taped on May 11 but is being aired on June 7 on CBS here in NYC and between May 26 and June 7 on CBS and O&O. You will have to check your local tv listings.

Yes, Grease is going to get nominated.

Edited for error - May 11 not June 11 for taping!

My mistake. It's being recorded May 11. Will correct my original post.

Send an e-mail to your station and ask them. That's what I did and they e-mailed me back within hours with the date and time.

This will be better than the actual awards show.

You are welcome! My station didn't have anything on its website. I just went to the contact section of the website and e-mailed them.
