A Slim Day at the Tonys for the Addams Clan
admin | May 04, 2010 | Comments 11
The Addams Family musical only garnered two Tony nominations: Best Original Score, Andrew Lippa; and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical, Kevin Chamberlin (as Uncle Fester).
Most surprisingly, leads Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth were left out, as were book writers Rick Elice and Marshall Brickman.
Of musicals, the revival of La Cage aux Folles led with 11 nominations, followed by Memphis with eight.
One of the most eagerly anticipated musicals of the season, the Addams Family was edged out for Best Musical by a show called, get this, American Idiot.
Our congratulations to Andrew and Kevin!

Is anyone really surprised?
What about Best Scenic Design of a Musical? I thought that would be a lock.
We didn’t even like the score. The jokes were funny tho.
I thought Jackie or Krysta might have a shot.
The Tony nominating committee are the American Idiots. Jackie Hoffman was brilliant. The script was heartwarming and hilarious.The sets were spectacular. What gives?
OMG! Krysta is SO CUTE. They should give her a special tony for cuteness.
Ok girls. Who’s cuter? Krysta or Wesley??
Can’t answer it like that.Wesley would be the cutest boyfriend ever.Krysta would be the cutest BFF.
