So Hamilton got nominated for 16 Tonys. I think, with a skim of the list, that's every Tony it was eligible for, plus some twice. (Leading Actor, Featured Actor.)

I still have not listened to Hamilton and yet I'm all, yeah, that's as it should be.

I saw that, Dana. How will they choose a leading actor or featured actor?

Also, it could have been nominated for sound design, but they took away that category rather inexplicably.

Oh, yeah, the sound design thing is bullshit.

I think, based on not having seen it, I would go for Leslie Odom Jr. as lead. He's certainly a better singer than LMM, and he's got a couple of fabulous solo songs.

Featured actor, though -- I think it would be awesome to give it to Daveed. Dual role, rap-heavy, Broadway debut. But George Washington has some parts in the score that grab me by the heart.

Edit: Oh, and Groff was nominated too. Hmm. I'd still go for Daveed.

That's bullshit, meara. How do they expect you to retain 6 hours of training starting at 6am? Wasn't there some study about not expecting anyone to functionally brain before 10am or something? I dunno but I feel like I read about it here at b.org.

To some people, the appearance of being busy and productive are better than efficient use of resources.

I have an extra hour tonight, because I didn't realize my rehearsal was at 8, not 7. I think I will go get a manicure. What color should I go for?

Hot pink.

I have no patience with people not thinking today.

These are unrelated statements.

And the place I was going to go no longer has a working phone number. That's not good.

I agree Dana. Leslie is my favorite part of the show. And despite loving Groff more than most things, he should not get it over Daveed for 9 minutes of stage time. #judidench
