Hello, gorgeous fans! Today the nominees for the Tony Awards were announced! Unfortunately I have been out of the country so I have only seen a few of the shows nominated (hopefully I will see more when I return to NYC this summer). There are a few nominations I'm extremely excited about though. The first is Ron Raines, who was absolutely spectacular in the revival of Follies. It was honestly the best singing I've heard on Broadway in years. There is literally nothing negative you could say about it. While I love Norm Lewis and Danny Berstein, I am rooting for Ron all the way. Seeing a REAL leading man on Broadway who is strong, handsome, tall, masculine and can SING is so refreshing and I wish we had more of that on the stage. I'm also excited for Audra McDonald being nominated for Porgy and Bess, but that was a given. Jan Maxwell was also fabulous in Follies and was definitely the standout female performance of that evening, although I was disappointed to see that Elaine Paige wasn't nominated for her fabulous performance in the same show. Check out the full list of nominees here.
