[Everyone is missing a few of the awards like Best Play and Best Revival of a Play. I added those in. There are others missing but I'm too lazy to add them.]

Shut out? We must have different definitions of those words. I’m excited for Hailey, and of course no surprise it is nominated for Best Revival, but I thought Alex was a lock and really should have not just been nominated, but ultimately won.

I was not blown away by Alex Newell the first time I saw the show, because that was when I thought the Mother Earth character was played by a black woman. I thought she was a decent soulful black woman, but I’ve seen a lot of amazing powerful black women perform.
The second time I went in realizing now that the actor was a man! Now I was blown away by him singing Mama Will Provide and was probably the first person to my feet! So I’m a fan and would love to see him get some recogniti
Hey guys, let's be nice here. This is a safe place.
John, thanks for sharing your thoughts with everyone. What are your thoughts about the recent My Fair Lady revival and the Once on this Island revival? Those two couldn't be more different from eachother, one is an old school classic that has been revived a number of times, and the other one is a bit more young, scrappy and hungry. How should we view those two shows?

My vote is for vice versa. Give Alex Newell the award for Best Revival and My Fair Lady the award for Best Featured Actor.
benwilsonn.xo said: "I remember at the 2015 Tony’s people said give The King and I Best Revival and then Kristin Chenoweth Best Actress. I can sense history repeating itself!"
I'm not sure what you're suggesting, but this stuff about Tony voters giving consolation prizes is silly and belittles the most significant theatrical award in the world. Kristin earned a win in 2015 as did King and I. The races this year are tight in some ca
MadsonMelo said: "If Louderman is featured, shes winning, imo. If not, It Will likely be Mendez.
Featured is a toss up to me, I was certain of Butz Power, but I believe maybe Newell can as a "consolation Prize" for OOTI? He surely has a momentum to guarantee that."
MadsonMelo, I’m trying to understand what your reference to consolation prize is; can you explain more what you mean?

The audience for this show would never be able to support a full, commercial Broadway run. Unless something weird happens and the Off-Broadway production becomes like Hamilton, there's no chance."
This is pretty cynical. I could understand someone saying it is &ldq

My Fair Lady is one of my favorite musicals of all time. But think about this, people, including me, were predicting it to be Best Revival before it ever played a performance. Why? Because the source material is so good that with a multimillion dollar budget it isn’t surprising to anyone that it could be turned it into a great experience for an audience.
Now think about Once on this Island. How many people could have taken that source material and turned it into something that receiv
Although a bit of an anti-climactic prediction, I think the Tonys for Best Musical, Best Revival of a Musical and Best Revival of a Play are in this list.
I’ve listened to the album a few times now and I like it. There’s something fun, fresh and quirky about it that somehow even catches my attention. I’m interested to see how the public reacts but I think it could be a surprise commercial hit and a possible broadway transfer to a smaller broadway theatre.

I read this three times today and finally get what it means. I don't know why, but the first time I honestly thought you were saying that it was going to be as successful as Frozen. I realized that couldn't be what you're saying. The second time I read it, I thought it
Why Sher doesn’t have Eliza run off with Colonel Pickering in the end is beyond me. This would have solved everyone’s issues with the ending. Pickering is nice to her, wealthy and experienced in years. The perfect mate.
QueenAlice said: "If SOMETHING ROTTEN can be a hit, maybe something like this could be to.”
Define “hit”. Something Rotten was a total flop. I really enjoyed the show. But it couldn’t even recoup half of its investment to investors. My guess is that the folks behind Head Over Heels hope they do not have a Something Rotten on their hands.
Bwayfan292 said: "Do we think its possible for Once on this island to beat out My fair lady for revival? "
For sure. But we’ll know more after the reviews for MFL come out. If it gets the same sort of across the board raves that OOTI received, it’ll be an interesting race because of how different the two shows are.

It’ll have to go through My Fair Lady but I think it has a shot."
People have been predicting My Fair Lady to win Best Revival for a while, before it ever played a performance. I was in the same boat. Seemed like the obvious guess, and not because it is one of my favorite musicals of all time (it is),

I’d love to see updates to this thread as many of the pictures have expired. I’d like to create a room that displays my window cards but I’m looking for ways to make it look classy - in a front piano room in my house. Anyone have any classy ways to display them (e.g., rooms with wainscoating, etc)? I’d be happy to see any pics though!
