Tony Award Weekend

The Tony Awards are here. The net is beginning to fill with peeps making their predictions. The boys at 365gay predict major wins for Spring Awakening and The Coast of Utopia, but there have been a few who've voiced support and confidence in Frost/Nixon. Everyone seems solidly behind Christine Ebersole and Frank Langella, with strong support for Raul Esparza and Julie White.

Check out Modern Fabulousity for a category by category analysis of the awards. I'm with ModFab on just about all of the will wins, except Dana Ivey for featured actress in a play. We diverge more when it comes to who should win in the categories.

I think Spring Awakening deserves the awards it will win, and I think it is the best musical of the year. I'm a fan of Grey Gardens, but it resonates mostly on an intellectual level.

Check out the official Tony Awards site. There's some delicious stuff there. And support the theater community on Sunday evening at 8. Check out my media box at the right for a song from Spring to get you in the mood.
