2017 Tony Nominations!!

Hello! Today the 2017 Tony nominations were announced. I woke up early for the live stream, only for the live stream not to work until after it was all over.

I am going to just tell the nominations in case people missed them or don't follow theater. I will not give my predictions, as I'm still doing research about it and still looking at shows and cast albums.

I am not very familiar with straight plays, though I do enjoy them. I'm mostly into musicals because I live off cast albums.

I apologize in advance that this post will be long, but it is every single nominee and every single category this year.
