Other than Elf and Rain was it the only musical to get no nominations?

Philly may be a Wildhorn fan extraordinaire, but I will her this:

when one of his shows sucks she never apologizes for it. I have to respect that given that there are so many people who blindly defend anything just because their favorite star/writer was involved.

I am kinda shocked it didn't get a nom for costumes. I thought they were actually very good.

After seeing it on Saturday night, doesn't surprise me that it didn't get any nominations. It just wasn't a very good show.

Oh but the costumes! And I'd pick Kate to Patti's performance in WOTV any day.

The costumes deserved the nomination, but once Tony voters don't like a show they tend to overlook all the good creative elements of the production as well.

Did the costumes deserve nomination, though? There's more to good costume design than looking cool. A lot more. People- and award shows- forget that.

I'm more surprised that people are shocked, then surprised that they were snubbed.

I agree with your assessment of Kate to Patti, except everything completely the opposite.

I like the music, but the only aspect of it I could see being worthy of a Tony nominee are the orchestrations.

Yes, it's not a very good show, but I still think some of the costumes are stunning.

Unbearable flops with no redeeming aspects often get no awards...

There are a lot of people I know that are genuinely upset that this show didn't receive any nominations but it's not even remotely surprising. Nominations weren't really deserved, so...

Well... the show got a Astaire Award nomination for Best Choreography (deserved).

tazber: Wait... what are you saying? (And I'm not a her Wonderland- The Most Snubbed Show of the Year )

Been following the show for years now, and if you look at any of my posts you will see I disregard this production. I didn't even like the Tampa 2011 production all too much (but prefer that much more to this version). The current show doesn't even have a heart warming ending or anything. No romance, no adventure, no nothing... Self discovery? That's all they got out of this one somehow!

The new changes don't highlight Janet Dacal (embarrassing enough that THE Alice in an Alice in Wonderland musical didn't get a nomination) strengths that they did for Tampa. Kim Scharnberg (Orchestrations) probably didn't get nominated because critics said the score sounded "dated" (I suppose partially Wildhorn's responsibility), but he did have to find ways to orchestrate latin music, '90s pop, Broadway, rock, etc. Shindle's character as written just isn't Award-worthy. Shindle alone is, but the Award has to do something with the role as well!

I'm disappointed... some people who should've been recognized: Marguerite Derricks shows off all different types of dancing from salsa to "traditional Broadway" to ballet and Frank Wildhorn created an all original score with 20 songs (of course countless for this one) in all different styles. Hilferty has some absolutely brilliant costumes (Queen), but also had some terrible ideas - fembots anyone? (LOL about the Snelson Napoleon Hatter costume above too)

That being said... Cast Recording released today, and why is that not a coincidence!

I was just saying that even though you are a fan, you're not an apologist. It's a good thing. Wonderland- The Most Snubbed Show of the Year


Sorry about gender confusion too.
