Congratulations to Hugh et al.! Six is a pretty respectable number of nominations, but I was hoping Jefferson Mays would be recognized for his very amusing, idiosyncratic portrayal of Mayor Shinn. Director Jerry Zaks was snubbed as well. Interestingly, Paradise Square, which got mostly poor-to-fair reviews, garnered more nominations than expected.

HUGH JACKMAN
Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical (The Music Man)

"To be a part of the return of Broadway is a great privilege. The vast amount of talent putting on 8 shows a week is inspiring. I know the quote "we are a family" is often overused. But not here. Not in the theatre. It takes thousands working together to make Broadway hum. I stand alongside the extraordinary cast, crew and creative team of The Music Man in thanking The American Theatre Wing for our nominations. After 2 years of virtual darkness, Broadway is back, bright and ready to celebrate at The Tonys."

Shower Singer said: "Wick, if I'm not mistaken, VOTERS are only SUPPOSED to vote in the categories where they've seen all of the nominated shows/elements, but there's nobody checking that (unlike NOMINATORS who are REQUIRED to see all of the shows and their attendance is tracked to confirm that they've seen the show). My guess is there are plenty of voters who don't see all of the shows, but vote in the category anyway. Nominators are also voters, so at least they've seen everything!"



To correct a couple things... First, voters are checked. Does that mean there aren't some who cheat? There are also voters (and critics) who sometimes take naps while watching shows. The system is not foolproof. It's better than it used to be. I suppose we could install facial recognition cameras on the stage. Second, most nominators are not voters. Not that it matters because it's negligible anyway. I don't think the "problem" is as great as people want it to be. The truth is, most Tony voters want to see the shows. It is well to remember that voters are people who love theatre just like you do. If there is a problem, it is that many voters have financial or professional incentives to vote in a certain way. No way to stop that and I think that's an existential problem with the Tonys (especially).

Warren Carlyle, Best Choreography (The Music Man)

"Oh it feels amazing, it really feels amazing. As the nominations were being announced I was frantically trying to keep track as I have so many friends and colleagues nominated. I'm calling all my friends. I'll be celebrating probably by going to rehearsal to make a number for the Tony Awards, getting in the studio and making something amazing for the Tony Awards. It's really special, it really is, for Sutton and Hugh. I love them all and recognition for all the hard work. Hugh rehearsed for three years. I don't know another leading man who rehearsed for three years."

Obviously for the viewing pleasure of the Tony voters

Maybe we can help the campaign --

by sharing your personal experience when you saw the show?

by sharing what you liked best in Hugh's performance?

or by sharing what you expect from the show when your turn to see it comes around?

or even sharing what you have heard or read about the show - from friends, social media, & mass media?
