Where's The Office Pool?

There were some unexpected omissions, and an awful lot of British nominees, but, overall, the Tony nominations weren't too surprising.

The best face-off is Kelli O'Hara in South Pacific and Patti LuPone in Gypsy. Very reminiscent of the classic battle almost fifty years ago between Mary Martin in Sound Of Music and Ethel Merman in Gypsy. Martin, shockingly, won. I'm guessing they'll reverse the verdict this time around.

I can't see South Pacific losing best musical revival. (Compare the revivals to the new musical nominations--pretty sad.) I'd like to see Rock'n'Roll win for best play, but I don't think it's Stoppard's year.

Having seen too few of the productions it's hard to say much more, though I hear Patrick Stewart was spellbinding--perhaps Macbeth will be a lucky play for him.
