Also, are there really only 5 eligible lead actors this year? (Hadden-Paton, Henry, Nolan, Shalhoub, Slater?)
My jaw will literally drop if Paul Alexander Nolan gets a Tony nomination for Margaritaville.

Since there's only 5, only 4 will be nominated. Unless Hadden-Paton's performance is dreadful, I would expect Nolan to be the one to miss out.

If Katrina Lenk doesn't win, I will be shocked. One of the best performances I've ever seen, and I am going back mostly for her in a week.

I meant the girl that plays Elsa ! That is not Patti ? It was a mistake. I said it because Tonys have a history of choosing flashy over 'real acting'

...no, it doesn't?
Also, you've posted about Frozen at least 50,000 times. Surely, you know that Caissie plays Elsa and Patti plays Anna.

Yes it does !!1 Kinky Boots over Matilda, Billy over the much better Bertie Carvel. Spamalot over light in the Piazza. Sara over Kelli.

Best Leading Actress in a Play

Even sight unseen, it's very difficult to imagine anyone other than Glenda Jackson ("Three Tall Women"
winning this.

Having seen both Parker and Garfield, there's NO WAY that someone can convincing me that Parker was better than Garfield.
Lane missed out a nom today at the Olivier Awards, he'll probably be nominated at the Tonys, but I think Garfield will win this award. And the Olivier too. First person to do it so at the same year, right?
I think Mean Girls can win book and the cast can get 2/3 noms, it will be the closiest to a competition that Band's Visit will have this year.

I can't see The Band's Visit's poignant script getting beat by Mean Girls.
I'm seriously hoping they'll put Lane in supporting. It would be a smart move.

Condola Rashad poses the only potential competition for Jackson, in my opinion. We'll have to see how Saint Joan is in a few weeks!

I can't be the only one who wants to see Once On This Island get some Tony love. What a beautiful, inspired production. I would be completely shocked if it weren't at least nominated for Best Musical Revival. I would be very pleased if Hailey and Alex were both nominated as well.

Posted: 3/7/18 at 12:18pmHey, actually there's been another thread that has been active for months now that we should probably move this conversation over to. We talk at great length about how Once on this Island deserves lots of Tony love over there.

Might just be me, but I don't see The Band's Visit getting a ton of Tony love. I saw it and just didn't get it. Katrina and Tony were good at best, and the music and book were both awful. No memorable songs at all, everything felt so boring. I went back and listened to the whole cast recording and the only songs tolerable were Omar Sharif and Welcome to Nowhere. Could someone explain to me what is so revolutionary and great about it?

funhamilton_rent, it’s a bit ignorant to think just because you didn’t like something, it’s not going to get Tony Awards. The Band’s Visit is a beautiful and subtle musical that isn’t for everyone. In a recent interview on Theater People, the actors talked about how the book writer didn’t want the show to feel important (as that term is used for shows trying to make an impact or change the scope). There’s no overall message in my opinion, it’s just a beautiful story told wonderfully through its book, score and performances. The show is one of the best reviewed of the decade, it has no competition, it will be winning Best Musical and Best Socre, along with some other awards I’m sure. Just remember, a show doesn’t have to be “important” or “revolutionary” to be good.

It's really a shame that 'book' seems to be so misunderstood, allowing some people to think the funny jokes of Mean Girls excuse the mess of it enough to warrant even suggesting that it beat The Band's Visit. I hope voters know better.

Posted: 3/21/18 at 6:16pmRegarding Carousel, Lindsay Mendez is a clear standout. She connects with audience, magnificent voice, and comedic when role calls for it. J Pecks choreography and the ballerina in the beach scene, who executes the ethereal ballet, should both receive very high accolades.

Yeah, it's just you.

Unfortunately they did not give the Olivier to Andrew Garfield for Angels in America. And Andrew deserved it. Many who saw all the nominees for best actor, or at least have seen Andrew and the actor who has won in that category, and all agree that Andrew's performance was superior.
A real shame.
Andrew won the Evening Standard award for best actor, for his performance in Angels in America
