My Tony Nominee Predictions

If you're reading this or if you're a follower of my blog, I'm guessing you've figured out that I love theatre and all things Broadway. But you may not know that I'm also a big football fan (Go Steelers!!).

Every year, Chad and I throw a Superbowl party. We look forward to the day of the Big Game, when we can gather all our friends and root for which team we want to win.

Our Superbowl party tradition of half-time Jell-O shots has been going strong for 10 years now!

If you're a Broadway fan yourself, then you know that the Tony Awards® are basically the Superbowl of Broadway. Just like I had my calendar marked for the Superbowl back in February, I have a nice big red circle on Sunday, June 8, when Broadway's best will be awarded with one of these well-deserved coveted statues.

No big deal... only a Tony award!

But before we find out who will take home a Tony, we first need to find out who will be nominated... And that happens TOMORROW!

Tomorrow morning, starting at 8:30am, past Tony-nominee Jonathan Groff, along with actress Lucy Liu, will announce the nominations for the American Theatre Wing's 2014 Tony Awards®. It's basically the NFL Draft of Broadway, and I can't wait!

I'm anxious to find out who this year's nominees will be, and I thought I'd have a little fun by making some predictions of my own. So without further ado, here are my predictions of which plays and musicals will hear their name called tomorrow morning:

Best Play Nominee Predictions
Bronx Bombers
Casa Valentina
Mothers and Sons
Outside Mullingar

Best Musical Nominee Predictions
Aladdin
The Bridges of Madison County
If/Then
Rocky

A few of these shows I'm almost certain will receive a nomination... But there were a few tough calls, and I had to leave out a few that I still think stand a good chance of receiving a nomination. There were some great shows this year, so I can't wait to find out how my predictions pan out!

There will be a total of 26 categories announced tomorrow, but I thought I'd keep it short and sweet and just predict these two categories for now. (Come on, did you really feel like reading 26 predictions from little old me? I mean, by the time you finished reading all that, the nominations would probably be over!)

I'll also be making my predictions for the winners once the nominees have been announced and closer to June 8, so stay tuned! Until then, I'll be anxiously awaiting tomorrow morning to see which players are drafted to Broadway's all-star team in hopes of taking home a Tony in a few weeks.
