The Tonys: If I Could Vote....for Best Revival of a Musical

As much as the American Theatre Wing would hope we'd believe this was a three show race, let's face it -- The Threepenny Opera is hardly a contender. And while I think it's wonderful that through The Pajama Game, Harry Connick, Jr. is finally on Broadway (and I've adored since first catching his co-star Kelli O'Hara in such musical fare as Sweet Smell of Success and then in The Light In The Piazza), this is the year for actress Patti LuPone, director John Doyle, orchestrator Sarah Travis and their spirited, inspired revival of Stephen Sondheim's masterful Sweeney Todd.

Not only would it have garnered my vote, but I'm looking forward to at least four Tonys, including Best Revival of a Musical, going to this wonderful production.
