Friday Music: The 2011 Tony Awards
Do you hear the divas calling? I do.
One of the gayest and most fabulous nights of the year is right around the corner! Thatâs right â the Tony Awards are this Sunday at 8pm on CBS
Now, Iâll be honest, I donât keep up with Broadway as much as I should , but this year the nominees are musicals Iâve actually seen or have been dying to see, so Iâll certainly be watching.
I just need to find a household or appropriate bar with cableâ¦anybody? Bueller?
Take a look below for the nominees and leave your predictions in the comments section. My best prediction? The Book of Mormon from South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are probably going to sweep the awards with 14 noms, which includes best musical, best book of a musical, best original score, two leading actor spots and two featured actor nominations, among others.
Not too shabby.

My only question is: Whereâs Spiderman?
Just kidding.
