Whee, Spring Awakening got nominated for 11 Tony Awards! Including Best New Musical! I mean, well, obviously, there haven't been many good new ones recently, and this is the first new Broadway musical (that's not a revival) that's come along in several years that's been worth getting excited about. Still. 11 nominations! There's at least one I'm pretty sure they can't win -- lead actor for Jonathan Groff (see icon), who is all kinds of amazing, but Raul Esparza's going to nail that one for Company, and deservedly so, so that's all right. But, yeah, I'm glad there's finally a reason to watch the Tonys again, because the last few years haven't thrilled me at all.

And the play crop was pretty good this year, too, although this whole damn college-in-Chicago thing has prevented me from seeing any of them. Bet Coast of Utopia sweeps those categories though. I mean, it's Tom Stoppard, seriously.

God, I want to move back to New York so badly. Remind me why I'm sticking it out in Chicago for a few more years? Oh, right, because I can't afford to move back to NYC, and there's no way in hell I'm moving back in with my parents. Damn.
