Thoughts on Tony nominations

The Tony nominations will be announced on Tuesday - excitement is building around town.  I haven't seen so many of the contenders, it seems silly to speculate about things, but speculate I will.  Good thing I'm never afraid to be silly.

These thoughts are the names of people I'd like to hear next Tuesday, or what I think should be nominated, based on what I've seen, which isn't much.  I know most of them are longshots, but, hey, I liked them:

BEST PLAY

Constellations
The Country House
Disgraced
(I'm dying to see the shows that are supposed to be the true contenders, like Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, Hand to God, The Audience, Airline Highway and Wolf Hall.  I guess I'll just have to pray for generous Tony voter friends)

BEST MUSICAL

Fun Home
Honeymoon in Vegas
The Visit

REVIVAL OF A PLAY

The Heidi Chronicles
Love Letters
You Can't Take it With You
(it breaks my heart not to type A Delicate Balance here, but I just didn't like the production)

On the Twentieth Century
On the Town
Side Show
(DYING to see The King and I, which I'm sure will sweep)
