He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

Posted: 7/9/08 at 7:58pmNot unless he creates a show that has the success of Wicked and the scores to the likes of Pippin, Godspell, and Rags.

Posted: 7/9/08 at 8:16pmMaybe. If he ever writes decent lyrics since the award is for music and lyrics.

Yes, I think so.
He is running out of time, but I think he will.

The guy is sixty. How many shots does he have left?
And following Wicked...
That said, I think he's going to get one. Definitely.

Posted: 7/9/08 at 10:24pmNot to be a cynical jerk, but watching him lose is quite hilarious.

What about a Lifetime Achievement Award sometime in the future?
Or do you need to have just a little more achievement?
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

I'm sorry to say this but ... who cares. The body of work speaks for itself. His shows are done all the time, winning a Tony will not matter.
Look back in history, some of the shows that won Tonys are long forgotten, while those that didn't are still very alive today. A Tony award may matter in the initial run, but in the end , good shows will survive and bad shows will go away, even if they won a "Tony".

Posted: 7/10/08 at 1:20amHe is currently working on the musical Working which will open at the Old Globe in San Diego. It is a collaboration with James Taylor and Lin Miranda.

Here's the thing.
Stephen Schwartz needs to ADMIT that he is gay.
He IS.
And until he says it, I'm in the "not caring" position.

Posted: 7/10/08 at 4:00amReally Ziggy? They gave a whole bunch to Jerry Herman while he was in the closet.
#22re: Will Stephen Schwartz ever win a Tony?
Posted: 7/10/08 at 4:08amYeah, but that was back when all the Tony voters were still in the closet too.
