For this second part of The Tony Belmont Stakes, see how many Tony winners you can predict. As usual, anyone can play—just leave your guesses in the comments section and use the ol' distinct moniker so we can tell you apart from the rest of the competitors.
To select the winners, feel free to copy, paste, and delete your way through this list. Cut-off time for your selections will be 5pm EST on Sunday, June 7, 2009.
Oh—and here's a BAT tip for Tony evening: Hang out in the theater district after the matinees end to get a taste of the community. Some will arrive at Radio City Music Hall by limo, but many will just stroll over from their theaters.

Some shows this year cancelled their usual Sunday mat/eve performances and played an extra Monday evening or Wednesday matinee performance earlier this week.
Aaron Tveit (the son) plays his last performance in "Next To Normal" tonight before returning in September, he'll be leading the pre-Broadway tryout of "Catch Me If You Can" in Seattle.
Do I vote here?

I think I got 19.5 out of 27 (last year I only got a 12?), but maybe I miscounted.
Myra?
NYTimes said I got 20 out of 27, if you count Orchestrations as a whole point. If you are only counting it as a half, then I got 19.5/27.
I mainly missed the design awards (and Featured Actor) for plays, because I didn't see all the plays (missed Joe Turner, Norman Conquests), and gave Exit The King too much design credit.
For Best Play Direction, I picked the right person :) wrong play.
So...we're tied????
