AND THE TONY NOMINATED SHOWS ARE...
The 69th Annual Tony Awards were announced this morning (Thanks Mary Louise Parker and Bruce Willis!) and there was a lot of love for AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, FUN HOME, SOMETHING ROTTEN, CURIOUS INCIDENT, & HAND TO GOD! Lots of predictable winners, some random inclusions (Hi Victoria Clarke), and noticable exclusions (Sorry The Last Ship...). Here's a list of what the Tony Committee is nominating this year.
