NCT's resident theatre expert - she's definitely the most knowledgeable, most rabid Broadway fan backstage - Shannon O'Brien has some hypothetical Tony Awards that she would like to hand out.
Best Piece of Furniture: The Lego Bed in "Priscilla."
Best Use of an Animatronic Animal: "Arcadia." There's this turtle ... I just want to take it home with me!
But seriously, don't think Ms. O'Brien isn't serious about her Tony's. She is currently thinking through each of the categories to finalize a ballot of predictions, and she is taking many factors into account. Here are some sound bytes from a hardcore thespian's brain in overdrive as it contemplates... Who Will Win?
Best Musical: A best musical needs something that other musicals don't have. "The Book of Mormon" has a lot of somethings.
Best Director of a Play: Joel Grey. Joel Grey is really old. People want to give him awards while he's still alive.
Best New Play: "War Horse." Everyone cries.
While these predictions are subject to change (we'll post finalized guesses later), Shannon O'Brien is certain of one thing: It's going to be a star-studded night.
