Guest EXPAT Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The 2013 Tony Award nominees were announced in NYC this morning at a press conference hosted by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Sutton Foster. Topping the list with 13 nominations is the Cyndi Lauper-scored Kinky Boots. Notably shut out was Bette Midler and we've got dueling gays in the Best Leading Actor In A Play category.

Members OneFinger Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 For what it's worth, here's my predictions: Best Musical = Kinky Boots (although I'm afraid Matilda will actually take it). Best Play = Lucky Guy Best Revival Play = Trip to Bountiful Best Revival Musical = The Mystery of Edwin Drood Best Leading Actor - Play = Nathan Lane in The Nance. But, wouldn't be surprised to see Tom Hanks get it. I personally felt The Nance but a much better play. Best Leading Actress - Play = Holland Taylor in Ann Best Leading Actor - Musical = Stark Sands in Kinky Boots (my personal favorite - he's a real sweethear). But, I think the actual winner will be Bertie Carvell in Miltada. Also wouldn't be upset if Billy Porter in Kinky Boots got it. His performance was wonderful. Best Leading Actress - Musical = Stephanie J. Block, The Mystery of Edwin Drood Having just returned from NYC, I've seen many of the nominated plays. Much more exciting for me this year.
