2010 Tony Award Predictions

[manman85]

I haven’t seen any of the shows I think will be big winners tonight, so my level of interest in the Tonys this year is low. However, we all know you don’t have to see the shows to predict the winners (sometimes it is actually better not to see the shows since it makes you less biased) and I am going to a party so I am going to have to do predictions. I figured I might as well keep tradition alive and post them.
