I can also make the argument that it is easier to create a role because no one has any previous conception to compare your performance with (to?), so you are not struggling to erase or supercede expectations about technique or approach. Wasn't that part of what Cerveris was up against last year with Sweeney?

Yes, and did he win the Tony? No.

Cerveris '07!

Okay, yes, we all think Groff is pretty, but can this Tony B.S. please stop? He's lucky enough to be in a great show, but the boy overacts like no other, playing everything with such broad strokes and never once selling the part.

In my opinion, he's the one weak link (though like I said, a beautiful-looking weak link) in the show.

". I don't feel moved by Esparza when he sings, it always seems like a chore for him,"

Wow. Have you seen him do Petrified?

Interesting. I feel just the opposite. When Raul sings, to me it looks like he isn't even aware that he's singing, it's so natural. Especially in Tick Tick Boom.

This is a tough one!
So many talented Men, I loved everyone of the performances by each. Boy I'm glad I'm not on the Tony Committee trying to decide which actor should get the Tony.

since the Tony Awards are about touring and money, I would say that the best bets are GAVIN LEE and DAVID HYDE PIERCE... both are in shows that would best work on tour (Mary Poppins for obvious reasons, and Curtains because it's fun and by Cabaret creators Kander & Ebb).

The road voters care about one award:

Best Musical.

David Hyde Pierce and Gavin Lee aren't going to be hopping on the road to tour the country in these roles. So either of them winning the Tony couldn't be used in the marketing of a tour anyway.

Cerveris 'O7! I think we should make t-shirts and campaign buttons:)
