I ask this question every year, and I always love hearing what everyone says.
Say you had the power to guarantee one 2014 Tony nominee. What/who would be your single dream nomination (either presumably something you don't think will get the actual nomination tomorrow, or something you would absolutely love to see get recognized)? And why?
My heart immediately jumps to IF/THEN for a Best Musical nod, though there are a few I'd love to see get mentioned tomorrow.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'd love to ask for a few, but in spirit of the question and limit myself to one: Brían F. O'Byrne for OUTSIDE MULLINGAR.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Whitney Bashor
for Featured Actress in a Musical
for reasons that I have put on here in a couple other threads. Her performance of "Another Life" is stunning.

Posted: 4/28/14 at 10:34pmI want to say either Daniel Radcliffe or Zach Braff. I thought both did a great job in their respective shows, and deserve nominations. However, neither of them seems to be a lock for nominations at this point.
