In honor of the upcoming TONY specials on Theater Talk, we're turning the Viewer Comments into vote central. Take the The 12th Annual Theater Talk Viewer Tony Poll (see the sidebar to the right) and tell us who you think should win the award for each category. If you'd like to elaborate, please post your thoughts to the comment box below. As you'll know if you watch the Critics' Cavalcade (6/11 @ 12:30 AM on Thirteen), a recap of the season from 16 NY theater critics, I'm in favor of August: Osage County (though I thought The Seafarer was dead on) and Passing Strange, and strongly rooting for Rufus Sewell to pull Best Actor for Rock 'n' Roll and Jenna Russell for Sunday in the Park with George (even though, like Deanna Dunagan, Mark Rylance and Patti LuPone will probably take top honors). I'd also like to see Stew beat out Lin-Manuel Miranda and Paulo Szot--Stew's alternative, but there's no denying the power of that voice. (Again, check out the Cavalcade to see a performance of "Work The Wound.")
You can also check out official TONY Predictions from Jesse Green (NY Magazine), Michael Musto (The Village Voice), and Patrick Pacheco (The Los Angeles Times), not to mention Susan Haskins and Michael Riedel, as they break down the reality of who can actually win, and why. This special episode will air Friday, June 13th at 12:30 AM on Thirteen, and repeat airings can be caught on CUNY TV (see www.cuny.tv for exact times).
