I agree SWEENEY's innovative re-imagining should win but let's hope the allocate time for numbers from the Best Musical revival nominees.
From SWEENEY I want them to show "A Little Priest," It will have to be shortened but it will show middle American a show that is morbidly funny.
From PAJAMA GAME how about Hernando's Hidaway giving Connnick his chance to shine. (This will be his final performance since the show wil have closed that afternoon. Unless sit extends.)
Recently I have been transferering all my old Tony Awards VHS tapes to DVD's. In 1994 they opened with songs from all 4 nominees introduced by Victor Garber as the DAMNY YANKEES devil singing new lyrics to "Those Were the Good Old Days." And in 1997 they featurd numbers from all 4 revival nominees (CHICAGO, CANDIDE, ANNIE and ONCE UPON A MATTRESS which had played its final performance that same afternoon.)

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com
