I'm not surprised to see that Iglehart is getting so much Tony buzz as the Genie. (It was the flashiest role in the movie, too.) But Iglehart also wowed the crowds at ''Memphis,'' with his number, ''Big Love.'' And for a guy his size, he moves incredibly well, and even did a somersault. Iglehart's just a winning performer, and I'm glad he's getting his due.

I also hear great things about James Snyder as the boyfriend in ''If/Then'' and Nick Cordero as the hitman in ''Bullets.''

...why aren't you complaining that he isn't Asian? Or are genies exempt if they were in another show your liked?

Cordero, Burstein and Iglehart seem like the three most likely contenders.

I'll see Cabaret on Friday.

That said, I would love for Iglehart to win. He was dynamite-I just couldn't stop watching him and he really had me and that audience in the palm of his hand.

James Snyder didn't do much for me (but then again, neither did the show). I didn't notice him. (Anthony Rapp was the male actor I noticed the most.)

It may be Burstein's year-but I'd sure love to see Iglehart end Disney's winless streak for acting Tonys-he really is incredible.
