Perez …as a Latino why didn't you put an image from "In the Heights" on your posting. It's a Latino Broadway show making history. Just a thought.
Cheyenne has been robbed!
GO Raul Esparza!
MORE LIL' MO'MAID
Yay!! Stephen!!!
Kerry Butler is the BEST! GO XANADU!
Young Frankenstein got robbed.
Who cares?!?!?! Plays are for old people and nancyboys.
Is that Beth from the Real World?
she looks like heidi montag.
That girl from xanadu is so a "separated at birth" with Heidi Montag.
Yay martha plimpton and TOP GIRLS!!!!!!!!!
Everyone in NYC, go see The 39 Steps. Campy/Smart/Hilarious
If IN THE HEIGHTS wins anything will my rent on 187th St go up?
In the Heights is the best musical ever!!! Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius. I even like it better than west side story.
Sunday in the Park With George is surely another thing, They're totally winning lighting design and the show is simply beautiful, but the best George Ever is going to be Mandy Patikin.
Anyone saw 39 steps? I saw August and It was a Master Class in acting, every single performance was just stunning.
go Theater Lovers!!!
Perez tienes que ver In The Heights si todavia no la has visto!!!
oooo, no little mermaid or young frankenstein for best musical….scandal.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE SPRING AWAKENING NOMS!?
AFTER WINNING 8 OF THE TONY'S LAST YEAR YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD BE ON IT AGAIN.
PSHHHHH SPRING AWAKENING IS STILL THE BEST OUT THERE.
and also wheres cheyenne jackson on that best actor in a musical list?!
this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
That looks like John Mayer in the rollerskates. So this is the REAL story behind the shag hair cut.
young frakensine got shafted!!!!!!! um sutton foster! hello!
Little Mermaid was burned. Only two nominations and none of them big. After Tarzan, Mary Poppins (which was really good), and now Mermaid…perhaps Disney needs to step back and reevaluate their broadway plans. Look at Lion King, Beast, and Aida and see what made those shows work and what they are doing wrong now.
They make too many bad choices, like Tarzan. WTF were they thinking on that one. They should have brought back their Hunchback of Notre Dame musical, retooled it a bit and finally brought it to broadway. That movie was made to be a stage show. Mulan would have even been a better choice then Tarzan.
I really want to go see Macbeth!!!
Re: BECKIE IS PISSED. –
its only for shows that have open this year beckie. i know its such an amazing musical, seen it 5 times and ive even sat on stage the day before jgalls left
FUCK YES STEPHEN SONDHEIM!
Re: BECKIE IS PISSED. –
It's only for the first year a musical is put on or revived.
Re: nicole –
Tru dat.
That post looks like Heide Montage she must do xanadu!
FANADU
Re: CLE – heidi montag would DESTROY xanadu.
she'd make it the worst musical apposed to the best.
Re: BECKIE IS PISSED. – you fucking moron! Tony's are for new shows of the year… that would be like nominating the Titanic for an Oscar two years in a row you dumb fuck!
go STEW!!! congrats!
"passing strange" is brilliant!
Little Mermaid was freaking robbed. Sierra Boggess deserves a Tony!
Cheyenne got robbed & Kerry deserves to win.
XANADU ALL THE WAY.
Re: BECKIE IS PISSED. – Becky your obviously stupid.
Tony's dont renominate the same shows.
PLUS SPRING AWAKENING CAME OUT LAST YEAR.
But i do agree about chyenne.
Re: meebitch – That's what I thought! Beth from Real World!! I even looked her up. I was sooooo glad when I found out it wasnt. As I recall she was a hideous person.
Yay Gypsy!!! Best theatrical experience of my LIFE!!! Patti LuPone is a GODDESS!!!
VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!! VIVE LA LUPONE!!!
That girl on the cover of Xandu looks alot like heidi montag
I love this Photo!!!!!!!! It's Beautiful!!!!!!!
Delighted to see Jenna Russell nominated - she's adorable.
PASSING STRANGE! That was, without a doubt, the BEST musical I've EVER seen. It's absolutely wonderful in every way, and completely moving. Go passing strange!!!!!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Take that, Mel Brooks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spring awakening won last year, you only get nominated in the first year that the show is put on broadway……. duh
Michael Beck is going to commit suicide hearing this
CONGRATS FIRST TIME PRODUCERS FOR XANADU!! Tara Smith is the best musical producer EVER!!
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof got fucked!!!
IS THAT HEIDI MONTAG?!??
love that you did this but you forgot Young Frankenstien
YEAH PATTI!!!!
PATTI IS A QUEEN AND THIS IS A MUCH DESERVED NOMINATION…SHE IS THE DEFINITIVE MAMA ROSE AND HER GYPSY IS LIFE CHANGING!
YAY PATTI AND YAY GYPSY…7 NOMINATIONS, NICE JOB!
It's a shame Cheyenne Jackson did not get nominated for Xanadu. He's amazing and was over looked. Cheer's to Cheyenne!!
Gotta love Tonys drama!
Patti so better win for Gypsy, AMAZING!
and Grease up for best revival… seriously??? ew.
Wow Little Mermaid got burned badly. I was expecting at least Sierra Bogges (sp) would get a best actress nom
Re: SD – They butchered the little mermaid! Not the actors, but the scenic design.
I think Sutton Foster and Roger BArt were robbed, but then again, they dont need the nominations to be broadway stars since they already are
GOOOOO XANADU!!!!!!
Thanks for featuring Xanadu!!!!!
XANADU = amazing!!! FOUR nominations! yayyyy best musical of all time
Ok, stop saying Kerry Butler looks like stupid Heidi Montag. Hedi wishes!!! Kerry is so amazingly gorgeous and a wonderful person.
