TheaterMania's David Gordon offers his observations on how the acting nominations could turn out.
The trickiest category is Leading Actor in a Musical. Only two are eligible: Aaron Tveit (''Moulin Rouge!''); Chris McCarrell (''The Lightning Thief'').
To me, both were wonderful and deserve to be nominated. I hope the Tonys don't cancel the category due to a lack of candidates.
Besides, there's a historic precedent for this: There were only 2 nominees for Leading Actress in a Musical in 1959 and 1995.
Gordon also notes that 3 actors from ''The Inheritance'' are eligible for Leading Actor in a Play: Andrew Burnap, Samuel Levine, Kyle Soller.
Any chance all 3 make it in Leading? It's rare. In 1960, Jackie Gleason, Robert Morse & Walter Pidgeon did it with ''Take Me Along.'' |
