WIW snubbed by Drama Desk...

I was really disappointed that the Drama Desk award nominations didn't give any noms to the Woman in White... I guess this show will continue to divide critics and fans.

Agreed.

Michael, Maria, Set design....

Something needs to be mentioned.

Dissapointed, to say the least.

What set design? It was mostly projections.

Seriously, I don't mean to be insulting, but of all the awards it could have been nominated for, set design is not one of them.

I am surprised about Maria, however.

The set was inventive. As the first zoetrope musical on broadway, it should be recognized. Projections are still considered set and they created the show's atmosphere.

I love Sweeney, but the set is not the thing I would nominated. Give mano a nomination and forget about that set.

Saying The Woman in White has no set is like saying that Sweeney Todd has no orchestra. Neither are true.

Thank you for starting this thread. The other thread that is almost 6 pages long now just doesn't do justice to the injustice of the ALW snub. This definitely deserved it very own thread!

I wonder what this will mean come Tony noms... Outer critics 5/ Drama Desk 0 -- Tonys????

And cmon - Wedding Singer gets a nom?

THE WEDDING SINGER is far better than THE WOMAN COVERED IN WHITE.

Have you even seen THE WEDDING SINGER?

All a matter of opinion. We are stating ours. No fights please. I respect the wedding singer for what it is, but kindly disagree. I love WIW and nothing will change the way we feel about it being snubbed of nods.

Thank you.

i am sad WIW didn't get nominations, hopefully the Tony awards will nominate WIW for many awards. I am glad Fanny Hill got 2 nominations though. It was a great show and Nancy Anderson was beyong amazing.

^I agree Muscle.

Emily Skinner is one of my idols! Too bad she didn't get a nod!

That probably would have required her having been there most of the run, though...

I know. Too bad she hurt her leg.
