I looked at the schedule for all 39 Broadway theatres and have compiled a list of the shows that will be eligible (unless I'm missing something?) for Tonys this year in the four main categories. For performer categories, we could use this list as a starting point. Please inform me if I've made any mistakes.

BEST ORIGINAL PLAY (8):
“33 Variations”
“The American Plan”
“Dividing the Estate”
“God of Carnage”
“Impressionism”
“Irena’s Vow”
“Reasons to be Pretty”
“To Be or Not To Be”

BEST REVIVAL OF A PLAY (16):
“Accent of Youth”
“All My Sons”
“American Buffalo”
“Blithe Spirit”
“Desire Under the Elms”
“Equus”
“Exit the King”
“Hedda Gabler”
“Joe Turner’s Come and Gone”
“A Man for All Seasons”
“Mary Stuart”
“The Norman Conquests”
“The Philanthropist”
“The Seagull”
“Speed-the-Plow”
“Waiting for Godot”

BEST ORIGINAL MUSICAL (10):
“13”
“9 to 5”
“Billy Elliot: The Musical”
“Next to Normal”
“Rock of Ages”
“Shrek the Musical”
“The Story of My Life”
“A Tail of Two Cities”
“[title of show]”
“White Christmas”

BEST REVIVAL OF A MUSICAL (4):
“Guys and Dolls”
“Hair”
“Pal Joey”
“West Side Story”


Does this mean all 4 of the musical revivals are in? It's just that easy???

So many questions, lets use this to spark a discussion.


MY EMMY PREDICTIONS: "30 Rock"--Lee Pace--Tina Fey--Jeremy Piven--Amy Poehler--Shelly Berman--Polly Bergen--"Mad Men"--Gabriel Byrne--Glenn Close--Ted Danson--Dianne Wiest--Stanley Tucci--Anjelica Huston

Yup. If there are four shows to fill the slots (regardless of quality), the slots get filled.

I really doubt "Story of My Life" will be eligible. It played only 5 performances and usually when that happens the Admin Committee delares the show ineligible b/c it didn't play long enough for all members of the Nom Committee to get to it.
