#2re: Drama Desk Winner Predictions 2007
Posted: 5/19/07 at 12:43pmI think Barbara Walsh will and should win since the Tonys ignored her.
#3re: Drama Desk Winner Predictions 2007
Posted: 5/19/07 at 1:05pmI also wonder if they'll give it to Cheno - since she's hosting and the Tonys blatently snubbed her.
#4re: Drama Desk Winner Predictions 2007
Posted: 5/19/07 at 3:49pmFred Ebb (and John Kander and Rupert Holmes) will win for lyrics. The lyrics for Fame Become Me were nothing but a bunch of slick showbiz references. Sure there were some in Curtains, but not nearly as many as there were in Fame Becomes Me.

Michael Cerveris, LoveMusik
Raul Esparza, Company
John Gallagher, Jr., Spring Awakening

Pretty wide open if you ask me. I don't mind who takes it, but it's an interesting one to look at.

There's a few ways it could go here. If it doesn't go to Walsh though, I will be in a huff at work tomorrow. ^_^

I'm not going to comment on the books of Mary Poppins or Legally Blonde. Curtains was fun but too many one-liners. Spring Awakening? As it was mostly faithful to the original source material, it'd be bloody cheeky for it to win here.

Posted: 5/20/07 at 10:08amWill probably select a winner from all categories with a bit more time (and brain cells--- still too early for me), but think that Chisholm wins- His performance in "RG" is up there with Langella's in "F/N" !

Posted: 5/20/07 at 3:16pmI agree with everyone who has mentioned Billy Crudup. I think it's about time that he wins a big theatre prize after several nominations in the past few years (The Elephant Man, The Pillowman).
