As I mentioned in a previous post this week, the Tonys are equal to the Superbowl in my world. So, obviously we need some excellent Tonys watching food! This year I based the main food on inspiration from the four musicals nominated for best new musical.
Come From Away:
My Kindergartner and 3rd grader took charge of this show and put together snacks and things you might get on an airplane since many characters were stuck on airplanes for many hours in this show.
Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812:
Pierogis because at the beginning of the show we were given pierogis from the cast to eat! Admitedly I do not know how to make them, so I bought some in the frozen section and cooked them at home. They are not nearly as delicious as the ones at The Great Comet, but they will do!
Groundhog Day: The Musical
Every morning Rita wants to try the Sticky Buns. So I went with sticky buns...or really a couple different kinds of cinnamon rolls because that is what my kids will eat! ;)
Dear Evan Hansen
Two important scenes in this show happen in an apple orchard, so we did some apple related goodness for Evan Hansen (that's easy to do in Yakima Washington LOL). We have a homemade apple crisp pie, apples, and sparkling apple cider!
I have a feeling I will need some extra exercise this week to make up for this!
Enjoy the Tonys!!!
Show-Score and Audience Rewards got together and set up a way for us to predict the Tony's and I just put in my predictions. Wanna play along with me? Let’s see if we agree about who will win the Tonys! (There is even a prize, maybe we’ll split it: 1,000,000 Audience Rewards® Points!) All you need to do is click this link to play with me.
BUT FYI, this is who I think WILL win, not who I think SHOULD win...and sometimes I did not pick the favorite. I picked some underdogs....AND just because I love you all, below is my complete list of who the favorites are (based on the highest votes on the predictor quiz above), who I think will win, and who I think should win.
***This list is based on the opinions of a girl living across the country who has only seen a handful of these productions live. My opinions are based on seeing those shows, researching the others and reading a lot online, and watching everything I can find online. I am not a Tony Prediction expert, just an opinionated fan***

Who I think should win: Hard to say-fame is clearly a factor here-3 uber famous talented women nominated-all three superstars, and 2 newer, less known talents. I saw both of the lesser known ones (Denee Benton in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and Eva Noblezada in Miss Saigon). Both of their performances were worthy of this award in my opinion...

The staging was AWESOME!)
