'Billy Elliot' and 'God of Carnage' look to dominate 2009 Tony ...

"Billy Elliot" and "God of Carnage" were the biggest attractions in a Broadway season that finished with a flourish on stage and, despite the economic downturn, at the box office, too.

I thought Neil Patrick Harris was charming, and when Bret Michaels walked into that scenery it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen!

I thought Neil Patrick Harris did a great hosting job.

Loved all the musical numbers and glad they included touring companies too.

The plays were a little too brief, but I realize they have only so much time. The Tonys are always my favorite award show.

Next to Normal should have won best musical. It was classy of Elton John to mention them when Billy Elliott won. I thought the performcances were mostly boring (and I'm gay!). The only ones I really liked were "Next to Normal", "Hair" and "Guys and Dolls". If you get to go to NYC, Next to Normal is the show to see.

The Tonys are a waste of time and very biased. In my opinion the best show was Jersey Boys and the best TV show is Two and One Half Men and neither was even nominated. Luckily for me I didn't sit through the whole boring show. I would boycott the show but from what I've heard the ratings are so low there is no need to.

You're kidding, right or is it that you just don't know what you're talking about? Jersey Boys wasn't nominated this year because it won the Tony in 2006.
