The Tonys 2015

This is an exciting year for the Tonys with some close races.   Fun Home and An American in Paris lead with twelve nominations each.  Finding Neverland, the Harvey Weinstein backed production, received no love from voters (Weinstein isn't used to that).  Alan Cumming, fresh off of his Tony-winning run in Cabaret, is sharing hosting duties with Kristen Chenoweth, who is nominated for her role in On the Twentieth Century. The two of them will surely have a fun show.  I have only seen one of the nominees so far, On the Town, but here goes nothing:
