12	leemac Tue 5/13/2008 6:51a	Thankfully the Tony committee were sensible enough to not acknowledge the set design. :-) That is still one nomination more than it deserved - the new music is sub-par at best so I can only think this is the recognize the original score. Natasha Katz is a very talented lighting designer and worked wonders with the barest stage on Broadway. Glad the committee also ignored Frankenstein bar three nods.
13	TheRedhead Tue 5/13/2008 9:11a	A big slap went to Young Frankenstein, definitely. Not giving the King Of Broadway a nod for score was sweet and justified. We can only assume nominating Mermaid for score was because people still love Howard Ashman. And back to Frankenstein for a sec...the official title of the show is ridiculous. "The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein." It's like when they used to say "Toy Story, A Disney Presentation of a Pixar Film."
