As the only one I've seen, i can only say that the others would have to be good to beat Mary Poppins. I haven't seen it in NY though, only London.

SPRING AWAKENING

I've also seen PIRATE QUEEN, CURTAINS, GREY GARDENS, HIGH FIDELITY, MARY POPPINS, and MARTIN SHORT: FAME BECOMES ME.

Hopefully I will also see LOVEMUSIK, LEGALLY BLONDE, (and 110 IN THE SHADE, even though its a revival).

I've seen everything but The Times, Pirate Queen, Mary Poppins and Lovemusik.

I want noms for Grey Gardens, Curtains & Legally Blonde.
And I want Grey Gardens to take it.

I think curtains


I thought the pirate queen was fantastic. Grey gardens is moving but not my favorite but up there. I didn't really like spring awakening but i can see why others did. I loved Mary Poppins.

I doubt GREY GARDENS will take it.

Here is why:

Last year, GREY GARDEN was up for the Best Musical award at the Drama Desks. It lost and DROWSY CHAPERONE won. At the Tony's DROWSY CHAPERONE lost and JERSEY BOYS won. To me, this puts GREY GARDENS behind two of last year's musicals. I didn't feel JERSEY BOYS was all that strong. So, to me, GREY GARDENS cannot be seen as very strong.

Agree

If GG does not get it, believe me when I say it will not be GWB's fault

I've seen GREY GARDENS (twice), FAME BECOMES ME (once), and CURTAINS (about to see it for a second time).

If I had a vote, it would be cast for CURTAINS.

Spring Awakening gets my vote, without a doubt.

It's Best Revival that I'm more conflicted about. I feel like Company is the only one (that has yet opened) that has done anything at all to advance or change the original, but Sweeney just worked so much better for me (and STILL lost, sadly) that... I don't know.

Spring Awakening will win best musical IMO.

[Johnnytoc]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 7:11pm

I'd say Curtains.

[defyingravity11]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 7:11pm

I've seen practically all those that have already opened and, as of now, I would say:

Grey Gardens should win.

Spring Awakening will win.

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 7:11pm

After I see Curtains & Pirate Queen, I can than make a final decision

They will have to go some to beat SA. Right now, it looks like GG will only pick up a Tony for Ebersol

Gardens which are Grey
followed by
Awakening in the Sprintime
and then of course
POPPINS

Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening

Definately the popular choices

[Mr Roxy]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 7:40pm

If GG does not win but Ebersole gets the nod, the fate of the whole show will depend on how long she stays. Once she leaves, the problems will start than

I thought Grey Gardens was brilliant and was disappointed with Spring Awakening. I truly believe GG is a much better show. It moved me way more than SA did.

Grey Gardens is going to make a pretty cleans sweep in the acting categories, Mr. Roxy. Mary Louise Wilson seems like a frontrunner for Featured Actress, as she should be. She has a very strong chance for a win. John McMartin, a veteran actor who has beens snubbed many times in the past, notably for Follies in 1971, really should take the prize for this part of Major Bouvier. He's quite a hoot and deserves a little consolation prize for the travesty that was not winning for Follies so many years ago.
Korie and Frankel also have quite a strong chance in the category of Best Score. The music of Spring Awakening, while exiting I guess (I find it bland) has very subpar lyrics. Mr. Frankel's music for Gardens is spectacular are is Mr. Korie's lyrics. He proves himself an adept lyricist with a comic sensibility as well as a strong dramatic one. Their only compeition I can think of so far is Kander and Ebb.
Grey Gardens also has a chance in Best Musical. We haven't seen everything yet, but it has more of a chance than Spring Awakening.
I hope that Grey Gardens makes a clean sweep. It deserves to. Next to Follies at Encores! it was the most thrilling show I have seen all season.

Since I haven't seen Curtains yet, I'm going to say Spring Awakening. I really hope it wins.

i want Grey Gardens to win!!!

i have seen Spring Awakening and Mary Poppins as well, but Grey Gardens is my favorite of those 3. I guess Curtains would get the 4th nomination?

[Mr Roxy]

While we liked GG, we are not that overly ecstatic over it as some are. We liked SA & Poppins better but agree with the acting in Gardens getting Tonys

[Trekkie2]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 8:22pm

Am I the only one who thinks SA DESERVES to win?

[jrb_actor]

Posted: 3/16/07 at 8:26pm

I hope Grey Gardens sweeps.

Curtains as of now, but I'll wait to cast my final vote until after I've seen LoveMusik.
