Good Morning All.
And good vibes to all who need them.

I need to put on my thinking cap.  I wonder if it still fits....

Thanks for the Tony info, DR Ben.  What happened to the category for recreating a role?  I was hoping for a nomination for Jonathan Pryce.

I watched the nominations this morning on NY1.  I think at one point Roma Torre accidentially called Felicia Fields from Color Purple, Felicia Finley.  They are very different.

No nomination for Jonathan Pryce. I think there were no other possible nominees so even though it would have been nice to see him get a nod since it was a single person they probably decided not to do it this year.

Wedding Singer has no chance of winning Best Musical (IMHO) but it filled out the category. I think the contest will be between Drowsy Chaperone and Jersey Boys. I'm glad Color Purple got some notice. While it's a problematic show it's not terrible (again IMHO) and I think La Chaze and Felicia P. Fields both deserve their nominations.

I think History Boys will sweep the Play contest. I'm trying to see it. Tickets are very hard to acquire. I don't remember if the Broadhurst has standing room. That will be my best bet.

Another gorgeous day here with cool morning temperatures and lots of sun. A walk seems imminent.

I can't say there were too many surprises over in Tony nomination land. Most things that got praised got nominated, and though there were omissions (Maria Friedman, for example), you can't say someone untalented got her spot. I forgot that CHita's show was categorized as a musical contender, or I would have put her in the actress category for sure.

I think Tyne Daly and Cynthia Nixon both have excellent chances to win for RABBIT HOLE. They both got raves when the show opened.

Hmmm.... neither Sir Elton nor Phil Collins got nominated for their Broadway work this year. Surprise? Nope.

Managed to get two more hours of sleep for a total of five.  I just happened to see the Tony nominating committee names - makes the whole thing sort of a joke, actually.

In not giving a replacement Tony the first year out, I think that's a bad idea. There WERE other nominees than Jonathan Pryce. What about Rachel York in the same show? How about the replacement for Dan Fogel in SPELLING BEE? How about some of the parade of people who go through CHICAGO every year - John O'Hurley, for example (who's now on the national tour).

Are only big stars allowed to be entered in this category?

I saw that ABC is moving GREY'S ANATOMY to Thursday nights in the fall. Brave move but necessary if they're serious about scoring some of those major ad bucks that are available for Thursday night. They haven't had a viable slate of shows on that night for years.

Also saw that THE O.C. was renewed for next year along with CLOSER TO HOME on CBS.

I don't think it's a matter of big stars. I'm not sure why they didn't do it this year especially after making such a big deal about the new category. I, honestly, don't think Dan Fogel's replacement in Spelling Bee is giving a Tony-worthy performance. He's perfectly fine, but if he was in the show when it opened, I don't know if he would have been nominated. Perhaps it has to do with re-reviewing a show. I know that Jonathan Pryce was reviewed when he went into the show but I don't think Rachel York got the same press that he received. I doubt that any of the stars going through Chicago will get nominated as years go on and Chicago stays open. Eileen Atikins could have been nominated in this category although I didn't see her in the show, I saw Cherry Jones.

Who knows.

I am waiting for a phone call from the same person I waited for in vain last week.  Let's hope she's a little more prompt today.  In the meantime, I must prepare for lunch with Rodzinski.

On to more important news, at least to me and my HHW fans (and the others who don't read this here board).

My BBC Radio Interview CD arrived this morning! It's got the entire show, all 55 minutes and 9 seconds!

HOO AND RAY!!!

I don't know why it took 5 months or what happened to the other three copies Bridget sent out but the 4 time is the charm. It's here and I will make copies and send them out. Don't know when exactly but it will happen in the next month or so, since my husband won't be around for six weeks I'll have some time on my hands. I may even try to break it up into separate tracks (as George did when he recorded the 25 minute version). We shall see. But right now, I'm back on Cloud Nine!
