Who Was Overlooked By the 2011 Tony Nominations?

Below are the eligible performers and shows who were not nominatined in the major categories.

You will be able to vote for all of them (and more!) in the industry leading BroadwayWorld.com Awards which launch later today. The BroadwayWorld.com Awards feature the largest, and fully open voting by fans, theatre lovers and industry professoinas.
