The dynamic divas and devos of KINKY BOOTS - say 'Yeah!' - to the assortment of pre-adolescents populating MATILDA; the persuasive charms of the circus-themed revival of PIPPIN to the re-imagined Rodgers & Hammerstein world of CINDERELLA; to say nothing of the tremendous dramatic and comedic performances in plays like LUCKY GUY, THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES, VONYA AND SONYA AND MASCHA AND SPIKE and THE NANCE, to name but a few - the 2012-2013 Broadway season has been filled with fabulous performances and star-making turns. But, the primary question on everyone's lips along the Great White Way is who will take home top honors on Tony night?
