2008 Tony Awards Summary/2009 Predictions

Found my commentary of the 08 Tony Awards in my livejournal decided to post it. I am going to attempt to make predictions for this years awards but judging from the fact that I haven't been to New York to see any shows in recent months it could be rather difficult. Also I suck at making predictions so there may not me too much of a chance that I'll get things correct.

2008 Summary

~ I think South Pacific won way too many awards that other shows should have one... Gypsy for instance got shafted.

~ I had no idea that Sunday in The Park With Gerogre was a musical

~ What was up with the acceptance speech for Boeing Boieng? I was so confused for it... for some reason analogies about getting lost in the woods have nothing to go with accepted an award for a play.

~ Patti Lupone is a goddess

~ August: Osage County and In The Heights= Two shows I want to see the next time I go to New York. It's going to be hard to choose one.

~ OMG OBC Rent performance I almost died of utter happiness



2009 Predictions ( the best I can do at the moment)

Best New Musical Billy Elliot

Best Book for A Musical: Title of Show

Best Chreography: Billy Elliot

Best Scenic Design: Shrek: The Musical

Best Coostume Design: Shrek: The Musical

Daniel Radcliffe will win some kind of award for being in Equiss

Best Orchestration for A Musical: Billy Elliot

Best Lighting Design: Billy Elliot

Haven't the slightest idea how well I will do with these predictions. We'll have to see what happens once June comes around.
