seeing this show from the 5th row was absolutely worth the 6 month wait. the costumes (OMG THE COSTUMES!!!!), the ladies in waiting, the queens, the energy in the room. i loved being a part of it all. my sister and i got acknowledged by aragon, howard, and seymour throughout the show which was pretty cool. this show was everything i could’ve hoped for - female empowerment, hilarious, filled with bop after bop, incredible vocals/dancing etc. i couldn’t ask for a better birthday weekend and first show back to broadway.
So considering everyone is at least a little dissapointed by six not getting any acting tony nominations lets do a poll. Who were you expecting to get nominated and who did you want to get nominated (different things). Throw it in responses or tags because I am really curious.
Personally I thought they would get at least one nomination for either Adrianna or Brittney but mostly hoped for Adrianna.
Adrianna Hicks was both who I wanted to get a nomination and who I expected to be most likely (although generally knowing who is a likely contender for noms also really affects who I want to get one so there’s that)
I thought Brittney Mack could have a shot because prior nom and she really gets a chance to show off her stage presence as Cleves (I do think a nom could have been in the cards in the featured category). I didn’t think Sam Pauly was the most likely of the cast but she’s always possible to throw in the ring just because Howard.
Six is a hard show as far as major award show set ups and categories, and this is a weird year for the Tonys all around. Super curious what it would have been like with a few alterations and would have LOVED to see Adrianna get a nom, but it is what it is.
