Last-Minute Tony Predix

I'm not looking at the Tony noms yet. Too nervous. I love the Tonys, and I never miss a show. Last year, I came back from set and watched the proceedings go down alone in my room, with a can of Dr Pepper my only company. This year, I plan on doing more or less the same thing.

My quick and dirty predix, the day of the noms. These are not based on anything I hear or follow, just random choosing. Incomplete, too, since my knowledge of the theatre world has significantly decreased since drama classes in high school:

Are the Tony awards only the plays and musicals in America? because Damien Lewis and Kiera Knightley in The Misanthrope was apparently pretty good - and I reckon damien Lewis is an incredible actor.

Yes, and not just America in general, but Broadway specifically. There are all sorts of rules as to what qualifies as a Broadway theatre, and only shows playing in those specific theatres qualify. It's very elitist, but that's why people like them.
