I think Barbara Walsh will and should win since the Tonys ignored her.

[ljay889]

Posted: 5/19/07 at 1:05pm

I also wonder if they'll give it to Cheno - since she's hosting and the Tonys blatently snubbed her.

Fred Ebb (and John Kander and Rupert Holmes) will win for lyrics. The lyrics for Fame Become Me were nothing but a bunch of slick showbiz references. Sure there were some in Curtains, but not nearly as many as there were in Fame Becomes Me.

I'm going to leave out the categories I have no opinion on.

Bold is who I think will win. Italic is who I want to win.

Outstanding Play:
David Harrower, Blackbird
Terrence McNally, Some Men
Peter Morgan, Frost/Nixon
Tom Stoppard, The Coast of Utopia
Bernard Weinraub, The Accomplices
August Wilson, Radio Golf

Outstanding Musical:
Curtains
In the Heights
Legally Blonde
LoveMusik
Mary Poppins
Spring Awakening

Outstanding Revival of a Play:
The Hairy Ape
Hedda Gabler
Journey's End
Talk Radio
The Taming of the Shrew
Woyzeck

Outstanding Revival of a Musical:
110 in the Shade
The Apple Tree
Company
Di Yam Gazlonim!
H.M.S. Pinafore
Les Miserables

Outstanding Actor in a Play:
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jack Goes Boating
Frank Langella, Frost/Nixon
Brían F. O'Byrne, The Coast of Utopia
Christopher Plummer, Inherit the Wind
Liev Schreiber, Talk Radio
Kevin Spacey, A Moon for the Misbegotten
Paul Sparks, Essential Self-Defense

It's a bloody strong category; I have no idea who the likely winner will be.

Outstanding Actor in a Musical:
Michael Cerveris, LoveMusik
Raul Esparza, Company
John Gallagher, Jr., Spring Awakening
Jonathan Groff, Spring Awakening
David Hyde Pierce, Curtains
Martin Short, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me

Although Cerveris or Hyde Pierce wouldn't be massively surprising. I'm still a bit confused as to why Gallagher is in here...

Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical:
Brooks Ashmanskas, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me
Christian Borle, Legally Blonde
Aaron Lazar, Les Miserables
Gavin Lee, Mary Poppins
Orville Mendoza, Adrift in Macao
David Pittu, LoveMusik

Pretty wide open if you ask me. I don't mind who takes it, but it's an interesting one to look at.

Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical:
Linda Balgord, The Pirate Queen
Celia Keenan-Bolger, Les Miserables
Debra Monk, Curtains
Orfeh, Legally Blonde
Barbara Walsh, Company
Karen Ziemba, Curtains

There's a few ways it could go here. If it doesn't go to Walsh though, I will be in a huff at work tomorrow. ^_^

I'm not going to comment on the books of Mary Poppins or Legally Blonde. Curtains was fun but too many one-liners. Spring Awakening? As it was mostly faithful to the original source material, it'd be bloody cheeky for it to win here.

Outstanding Music for a Play:
Mark Bennett, The Coast of Utopia
Adam Cork, Frost/Nixon
Gerard McBurney, Oliver Twist
The Propeller Company, The Taming of the Shrew
Ray Rizzo, Adam Rapp and Lucas Papaelias, Essential Self-Defense
David Van Tieghem, Inherit the Wind

I have fewer opinions than I thought.

Will probably select a winner from all categories with a bit more time (and brain cells--- still too early for me), but think that Chisholm wins- His performance in "RG" is up there with Langella's in "F/N" !

I can't believe Spring Awakening is nominated for lyrics. Seriously, they sometimes don't even make sense! Great music though!

I know no one thinks any of them will win BUT will the Legally Blonde people even be there? Don't they do a 7pm Sunday show?

[Wanna Be A Foster]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 3:05pm

The Drama Desk Awards Ceremony is at 9:00pm tonight. It won't be televised until next week. Unfortunately, it is not televised live.

[CK2]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 3:16pm

I agree with everyone who has mentioned Billy Crudup. I think it's about time that he wins a big theatre prize after several nominations in the past few years (The Elephant Man, The Pillowman).

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 3:44pm

It is "broadcast" live on theatremania.

[StageFan2]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 4:17pm

Am I the only one who thinks CURTAINS could pull off some shockers or am I just being too much of a fan? :-/

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/20/07 at 4:19pm

The latter.
