I have to (not that I wouldn't). It's my summer assignment for Drama Majors next year.

I have to predict each award and write a one page summary.

I'm actually not that familiar with any of the shows.

I mean, of course I know of Gypsy, Macbeth, South Pacific, etc., but I'm not very acquainted with the current Broadway run.

oh you should look into them, some of them are really good. In the heights is my favorite but i like passing strange a lot too. I'm not that into xanadu or young frankenstein well xanadu is sort of funny but i think young frankenstein is just kind of dumb.

Do you like sunday in the park with the george? i love the original and i heard the revival is amazing

Yeah, I've heard it's very good.

I'm exciting about the casts of RENT and The Lion King performing.

I was so so happy patti and laura benati won, especially patti. And in the heights won best musical which is totally deserved

I don't get why south pacific won so much though, it didn't seem that great
