Some of these wins, including those for EXIT THE KING and MARY STUART are based on what I've heard about the shows. I see EXIT on Wednesday and hopefully MARY very soon.

I think that's ten wins I'm predicting for BILLY. This Tony season may end a little less excitingly than we all expected...BILLY swept the nominations; it'll sweep the wins.

Please tell me you're joking about Stockard Channing....

I told you I was guessing. She is the only one that has generated enough buzz (+/-) on bww to stick to my memory :)

Best Special Theatrical Event: Liza's At The Palace

[jovie27]

Posted: 5/5/09 at 7:50pm

Can someone tell me what Liza's grosses were? I have a feeling that "You're Welcome America" will win best Theatrical Event. Billy Crystal's show was nominated for BTE and it won cause it broke all box office records....as so did "You're Welcome...:" I think it will got to Will.

IMHO!

[jv92]

Posted: 5/5/09 at 7:55pm

I think Liza pretty much sold out. And Liza's touring too! I don't know if that'll matter.

[biggest CHENO fan]

Posted: 5/5/09 at 8:23pm

I agree that Billy Elliot will sweep the show this year, which really disappoints me. I'm crossing my fingers for Seiber to win Supporting Actor and for [title of show] to win Best Book. As long as those two go my way, I'll be happy to let Billy Elliot take the rest.
