Michael Cerveris - LoveMusik
Raul Esparza - Company
Jonathan Groff - Spring Awakening
Gavin Lee - Mary Poppins

Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical (seriously, why even bother nominating anyone else?)

Laura Bell Bundy - Legally Blonde
Christine Ebersole - Grey Gardens
Audra McDonald - 110 in the Shade
Debra Monk - Curtains
Donna Murphy - LoveMusik

Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical (I'm thinking they'll give it to Cullum because of his reputation, but I'd much rather see it go to Gallagher)

Brooks Ashmanskas - Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me
Christian Borle - Legally Blonde
John Cullum - 110 in the Shade
John Gallagher Jr. - Spring Awakening
David Pittu - LoveMusik

Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Capathia Jenkins totally got robbed. Her part in Fame Becomes Me brings down the house)

Orfeh - Legally Blonde
Mary Louise Wilson - Grey Gardens
Karen Ziemba - Curtains
