What Do Past Tony Nominees Want to See This Season?

In an interesting piece in the New York Times, past Tony nominees get candid about the new shows they are excited about seeing this spring. Check out their responses below: 

Sean Hayes: "HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING. Not only because I just finished working with Craig Zadan, Neil Meron, Beth Williams and Rob Ashford, but I'm anxious to see my friend Daniel Radcliffe in his Broadway musical debut."

Jan Maxwell: "LEND ME A TENOR. Because I am in love with David Greenspan, I am very much looking forward to seeing his play GO BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE at Playwrights Horizons." 

Chad Kimball: "I'm very much intrigued by a new piece at Classic Stage Company called UNNATURAL ACTS conceived and directed by Tony Speciale."

Kate Baldwin: "The new musical A MINISTERS WIFE which will play the Mitzi Newhouse this spring. It is based on one of my favorite plays, stars one of my favorite actresses and comes from one of my favorite cities." 

Levi Kreiss: "THE BOOK OF MORMON because it is from the writers of "South Park," and word on the street is that it is supposed to be hilarious and very smart at the same time."

Rob Ashford: "ANYTHING GOES. The Lincoln Center production starring Patti LuPone was my first Broadway job as a dancer after moving to New York. With Sutton Foster as Reno and Kathleen Marshall at the helm I know it will be amazing."

Sherie Rene Scott: "If I say HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES, cynics will think it's just because I'm pals with its brilliant author, John Guare. Not true. Others may accuse me of buttering up the singular, sexy and oh-so-funny genius that is John Guare because I'm hoping he'll hire me again. Not true - ish. It's because "House of Blue Leaves" is a modern-day masterpiece."
