Let me explain.
There are so many predictions and front runners and locks etc.
What i'm asking is this. What Tony award win, that's not predicted to happen, would shock the viewing public, but make your night?
For me, it would be a win for Danny Burstein in the Featured Actor category. I loved his performance, though Manoel , Jim Dale and Christian Hoff seem to be on everyone's prediction lists.

Posted: 6/10/06 at 11:09amOf course, Inishmore beating History Boys! I assume everyone agrees that would be quite a surprise.

Posted: 6/10/06 at 11:13amIt wouldn't be a huge shock, but I'd love Drowsy to upset Jersey Boys for musical.

I'm not sure I'd call this an upset, but I really, really hope Michael Cerveris wins!
EDIT: And I'd be ecstatic if La Chanze won even though I totally love Patti.

Not an upset:
But, I would love for John and MC to tie.
They both deserve the award.
My upset: If Harry Connick wins for PAJAMA GAME.
I love Harry. But, he was not in the same league as John or MC.
Brent Barrett was so much stronger in that role.

Megan Lawrence winning over Beth Leavel and TCP ladies. Yes, I'd love to see that happen.
I'd also love to see Inishmore beat The History Boys, and Cerveris beat out JLY.

Posted: 6/10/06 at 11:50amHey, who doesn't want Mano to win? He's the man.
#17re: What would be your sweetest Tony upset?
Posted: 6/10/06 at 11:57amI'd also love to see Mano win. It's sad how he was pretty much thrown at the bottom of this category without even a shot to win. I think he's just fabulous.

Um...me! I didn't think he was very good and would be disappointed if he won.

I just wish THE COLOR PURPLE would win something...Best Score, Best Musical, Best Actress for LaChanze, Best Featured Actress for Elisabeth Withers-Mendes or Felicia Fields are the only categories in which it has some kind of a chance.
I would not mind if Felciano beats out Dale, either.

Dale beating Mano
Kelli beating Patti
a total upset in the best actor in a musical category where everyone nominated gets one vote and there are a bunch of write-ins and Hugh Panaro and Drew Sarich tie. *heehee*
