Well my lovelies, we are now only days away from the 2010 Tonys. As you know from reading my last few columns and my frequent excited tweets, the Awards have been on my mind for weeks. I'm getting exponentially more excited as the day grows closer; it seems like now is the time to post my analysis of the nominees - including my picks for who should, and who will, win big this year.

Today, June 3, PROMISES, PROMISES stars Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes appeared on The View to talk all things Broadway, the Tonys - which Hayes will host on June 13 - and more. The pair closed the show by performing 'I'll Never Fall in Love Again.' Check out their performance below!
