because tony said so

I forced my co-workers to participate in my 1st annual 62nd Annual Tony Award nomination survey. Because I love them. Because I wanted them to amuse me. Because I said so. And here it is, our votes for this year's Tony Awards:

*Disclaimer - Two of the nominators listed below requested to be listed under an "assumed" identity (can you guess which ones?). They did not put their whole hearts into this task. They abated my request to play along with this time waster, but they still suck because they had too many demands this blogger was reluctant to fulfill. The other nominator picked her choices with lighting speed. However, I'm sure that if it turns out she got the most correct guesses she will do a victory dance in the office. None of the nominators, including myself, have seen all of the nominated shows.
