Grey Gardens The Times They Are A'Changin' Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me Spring Awakening Lovemusik Curtains The Pirate Queen High Fidelity Legally Blonde Mary Poppins
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
So, for new musicals you've got: Kiki & Herb: Alive on Broadway Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me The Times They Are A-Changin' Grey Gardens Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Mary Poppins High Fidelity Spring Awakening Curtains The Pirate Queen Legally Blonde Lovemusik
And for revivals: A Chorus Line Les Misérables Company The Apple Tree 110 in the Shade
Were any of these deemed special theatrical events, specifically The Grinch or Kiki & Herb?
My predictions: Best Musical Nods: Grey Gardens Spring Awakening Curtains Legally Blonde or LoveMusik

"Life is a cabaret old chum, only a cabaret old chum, and I love a cabaret!"-RIP Natasha Richardson-I was honored to have witnessed her performance as Sally Bowles.
In my heart, I want GG to win best musical. But, I think it'll be between LB and SA. GG will get its fair share of awards (actress, featured actress and either book or score, hopefully, and maybe orchestrations and costumes) ----------------------------------------------------------------- "What is it about me that people think I live in New York?

So, of the long list of Musicals eligible, the ones which will sweep up most of the nominations will be;
PIRATE QUEEN GREY GARDENS LEGALLY BLONDE SPRING AWAKENING CURTAINS LOVEMUSIK
With one or two for; Mary Poppins (Set?) Martin Short (??)
Just seems that way to me.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

bwaygal1, I think that GREY GARDENS will win Leading Actress and Featured Actress, and hope for (though I have not seen LOVEMUSIK yet) it will win Book and Orchestrations. I feel that Book will be between GREY GARDENS, CURTAINS, and LOVEMUSIK. I believe that Score will go to SPRING AWAKENING, along with Best Featured Actor, and, barring a nomination for LEGALLY BLONDE, Best Musical. This is of course my opinion based only on all new musicals this season with the exception of LOVEMUSIK.

Sounds about right, Foster. (Sincerely hope best actress, featured at the minimum.) I actually would rather it win best score than book, because the score is so gorgeous. (I adore Doug Wright and think he did a fantastic job but the score is so amazing. Can't stop listening!) Is LoveMusik even eligible for best score?(because it's Kurt Weill's music, mostly).

How many nomination slots are there for reivval and best musical?

Why do you guys all think Legally Blond is going to get a nod for best musical? I mean, last year, it probably would have won, but it's just too immature compared to most of this year's musicals to even get a nod.
For best leading actor, I think it may come down to David Hyde Peirce and Raul Esparza, based on reviews of them, but I haven't seen most of the shows up for nominations, so I'm probably not the best judge.
Cosette: Roses are red.
Marius: Violets are blue.
Eponine: You're so in love!
Marius: And so not with you.
Ok, wishful thinking, but I'm pulling for it completely.

I agree with Bwaygal1's list of nominees. I think Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening are the real contenders to win. Pirate Queen doesn't have a chance. The buzz on Lovemusik is pretty strong. Should be an interesting few weeks...
I think at this point, Curtains, GG, and SA are locks. I think who gets the final spot (Blonde or Lovemusik) will depend on reviews, and who get the stronger ones.
