Is there anybody else who doesn't think Spring Awakening should win? I didn't really think it was that 'revolutionary'. (In fact, certain elements bother me-example, I don't like the actors pulling out the mikes all the time. I find it distracting. Also, the character development is awful. Most of the time, I don't feel anything for them.)
IMO-GG should win, probably won't. I think it'll go to Rabbit Hole or some straight play.

Rabbit Hole was nominated last year but there was no winner selected, correct?
I dont think SA should win. In fact, it might make a little sick to the stomach if it does.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 12:16pmI don't see how it could even be considered. It's not a new play. Just a new musical based on an old play.

Rabbit Hole was not eligible last year - it's eligible THIS year.
I agree with your thoughts on SPRING AWAKENING. I don't understand for the life of me why people seem to think it's the second coming.

Posted: 4/11/07 at 3:25pmIf any musical deserves the Pulitzer this year, it's Grey Gardens. It is highly unlikely that that will happen though.
