#1Your Tony Picks For Best Musical - the last 10 years
Posted: 6/9/07 at 12:20pm
Judging from the various threads, many of us have strong opinions about which musicals we like (or don't like), and whether the Tony voters get it right. If you controlled the Tony vote, which musicals would you have chosen to win the top prize over the past ten years (since 1997)?
I'll get the ball rolling by listing my picks, with the actual nominees in parentheses (asterisk next to actual winner) just as a reminder of some of the other shows that were around in a given year...

I'm very much going with "favourite" over "best" here, so if anyone fancies bullying someone for their opinions, bully someone else. :3

Wow, when you put it like that, I never realised what a bad year 2006 was for new musicals. Or at least what good years 2004, 2005, and 2007 were/are.

Posted: 6/9/07 at 1:00pmThe only ones I feel particularly strong about are LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA and CAROLINE, OR CHANGE - both of which I would have voted for.

I actually had forgotten that The Lion King beat Ragtime.
Ridiculous.

I put my vote in for:
RAGTIME instead of LION KING
PARADE instead of FOSSE
JANE EYRE instead of THE PRODUCERS
URINETOWN instead of MILLIE
THE WEDDING SINGER instead of JERSEY BOYS
In terms of revivals, I thought BELLS ARE RINGING and FOLLIES were much more engaging than 42ND STREET, though I think the shows themselves are more enagaging by nature. 42ND STREET is so mindless.
