Patti was flat, uniteresting, and everything Patti should never be. She's a diva, and should act like one.

I vote Kelli 100 times out of 100.

I must gripe about Brian F. O'Byrne.

How?

I'm with you, touch.

I was never much a fan of this Sweeney revival. One can hope against hope that THE PAJAMA GAME comes out victorious.

I love Lauren Molina and wish she would have gotten nod.

I have to second what doodle said. I found Patti's performance very compelling, spot-on, and captivating. No one deserves it more! The Sweeney revival, I feel, is incredible in its intricacies.

i am actually pleased with the noms

I don't get the Chita nom...it was like another elaine stritch or bea show but with an ensemble...LOVE LOVE LOVE Chita - but should have put her in the Sarah Jones category.

AMY SPANGER...that's all I'll say. The woman deserved at least a nomination.

I really think Maria Friedman deserved a nom. And I would have liked to see Lauren Molina get one as well.

Funny, I thought the best part of Patti's perf. is that she was able to hold back. We've seen her take eyebrows off the first row, but I LOVED her subtlety, especially in Pies. The whole cast delivering subtle tension was what made this revival a masterpiece.

I respect the other opinions wholeheartedly, tho...as Patti says:
"They either love me, or hate me!"

If she were not to win, I'd give it to LaChanze...and I like Kelli alot, just not as much in this role.

"No WELL but RABBIT HOLE? Please.

A mediocre, water-treading Lifetime movie about grief vs. a witty, heartfelt, paean to the true mysteries of parent-child bonds. Ridiculous."

Auggie - I couldn't possibly agree with you more on this. With perhaps a little more emphasis on the RIDICULOUS.

I think I may steal a Tony Award and give it to Cyndi.

That's how pissed I am.

Now, who has a Tony Award they are willing to donate to a worthy cause?

[InfiniteTheaterFrenzy]

You could steal one from Hal Prince. He might not notice.

I am disappointed about no noms for: Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer, and (I know I might be in the minority here but) Paul Rudd.

Good thinking!

He has plenty.

Like taking a really tasty piece of candy from Sally Struthers.

HEY!

Watch the Struthers jokes.

I didn't mean to offend your Buddha, Rath.

I would have liked to see Donna Lynne Champlin or Lauren Molina nominated in the featured actress category for Sweeney.

[broadwaybaby692]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 11:17am

Cyndi Lauper - 3P0
Amy Spanger - Wedding Singer
Felicia Finley - Wedding Singer

oh and why give a Lifetime Achievement Award to Hal Prince? the man has walls and walls and walls and walls of Tonys already.

[ZONEACE]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 11:28am

Buddah? I think you mean Jabba BSO.

[Zimmy]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 11:30am

Amy Spanger got stiffed!

[touchmeinthemorning]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 11:36am

Yes, and Hal Prince has Phantom to worry about. He can't be taking the time off.

[megan_b86]

I don't want to sound ignorant- but is there a reason why the Odd Couple was completly left out of this years nominations? I thought that show was wonderful and I am wondering if I am missing some huge piece to the puzzle.

[bwaysinger]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 12:08pm

LaScreamz should not be in the running for the award.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 12:08pm

I am completely and utterly pissed over:

Lisa Kron's nomnination for best actress.
Cyndi Lauper's lack of a nomination.
Cherry Jones' lack of a nomination.
Dominic Cooper's lack of a nomination.

Etc.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/16/06 at 12:09pm

THE ODD COUPLE was left out because it's absolutely terrible.
