So they finally caved? A couple of years ago, I read an article where they refused to go on tour, but if the Las Vegas version closed so easily, I bet the producers felt they needed the money a national tour can provide.

No doubt. Similarly, The Full Monty people can't believe they had the ill luck to run against The Producers. Ragtime -- which at one time was thought to be a Pulitzer, let alone Tony candidate -- bumped up against The Lion King (to add insult, the following year was so weak, Fosse won the Tony). And, speaking of Fosse, going way back, ol' Bob couldn't believe Chicago got shut out by Chorus Line. (Though I think history has vindicated the former over the latter)Damien wrote:To show how it's all in the timing, if Grey Gardens opened this year I'm sure he and that great musical would have won.
A friend of mine was on the creative team of Grey Gardens and was Tony-nominated last year. To show how it's all in the timing, if Grey Gardens opened this year I'm sure he and that great musical would have won.
Word of mouth -- at least in my circle -- on A Catered Affair has been uniformly negative. I hear it's so dour that it makes Light In The Piazza seem like The Music Man.
I would bet money that The Adding Machine wins the Drama Critics award. There's a Golden Globes-style controversy regarding the Drama Desk in that the woman who heads it uses her power to help ensure that the awards go to big Broadways names and shows rather than off-Broadway obscurities. So she's standing in the way of The Adding Machine winning the Desk.
OScarGuy, if I'm not mistaken Avenue Q bombed in Las Vegas and has already closed. That was the only musical I've ever walked out on in my life.(I would have made an early departure from Cats but someone had taken me as a gif tso I was stuck.)
I saw Paul Rudnick's new play (or series of vignettes), The New Century the other night. I was hurting from laughing so much. Glad to see that the incomparable Linda Lavin received a Desk nomination, although Jayne Houdyshell is equally worthy.

In the Heights was eligible last year, but got no votes. Kind of says a lot about this season that an off-Broadway musical that flew under the radar a year ago and another, albeit more recent off-Broadway transfer are the front-runners for this year's Tonys over teh more loudly hyped Broadway "originals", all from old movies - A Catered Affair, Young Frankesntein, Xandau and The Little Mermaid.
Although respectably received neither Passing Strange nor In teh Heights got the kind of ecstatic reviews that greeted last year's tranfers of Grey Gardens and Spring Awakening or such earlier transfers as Avenue Q, Urinetown and Rent.

Well, it all depends on which is the most Tour-Worthy musical production. Those are the ones that win these days. And so far, one musical, Avenue Q, has refused to tour and is only running shows in Las Vegas and Broadway to my knowledge.

Can I assume In the Heights is ineligible this year because it competed as an off-Broadway entry last year? If so, that'll make the Drama Desk considerably less predictive of the Tonys than usual.
I'd have to guess Heights and Passing Strange are the strongest candidates for the best musical Tony; unless the few reviews I read were unrepresentative, Catered Affair got a notably poorer reception. Still, if Catered beats out Passing Strange at the Drama Desk, I'll have to reconsider. (And if Adding Machine wins -- not an impossibility -- all bets are off)
August: Osage County is such a sure best play winner, here and at the Tonys, they might as well forego balloting.
I agree the Drama Critics' Awards are by far the most prestigious. Over my lifetime, they've been far better at citing the truly major theatrical achievements.

As a rule, the Drama Critics are considered more prestigious than the Outer Critics Circle, I believe. And then there's the Drama League, which is better than both. And yeah, I agree with Damien - the New York Drama Critics Circle are probably the most prestigious of the quartet (and I believe they come with a cash prize as well).
I think the NY Critics Circle is more prestigious but they don't give awards for performances, direction, techs, etc, just Best Play, Best Musical and, if the winning Play is "foreign" they often give a Best American Play award (and vice-versa).
The Drama Desk Awards are basically the Golden Globes to the Tonys' Oscars. In concept they are cool because people from relatively obscure Off-Broadway shows are often nominated, but then they become infuriating because 95% of the time they just go with the big Broadway hits.
Most ridiculous omission, Joel Hatch from The Adding Machine.

Where is Sherie Rene Scott?
Cheyenne Jackson but no Kerry Butler? (good for him though)
No Roger Bart/Megan Mullaly?
A Catered Affair manages to become the most nominated show but Harvey Fierstein fails to score a nod?

I am not sure which is the "most prestigious award, next to the Tony, the Critics' Circle or the Drama Desk. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
I am surprised at the showing of Catered Affair, although I chose it for the Critics' Circle Best Musical. The reviews were middling. I am not surprised at only three technical nominations for Young Frankenstein.
Of the shows and performers that I have seen rave reviews for this year, only eight for South Pacific? And no Laurie Metcalfe("November"). This is bound to be rectified at Tony time.

53rd ANNUAL DRAMA DESK AWARDS NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED A CATERED AFFAIR LEADS LIST WITH 12 NOMINATIONS: THEATER LUMINARIES BEBE NEUWIRTH AND LEN CARIOU ANNOUNCE NOMINATIONS AT FRIARS CLUB; AWARDS TO BE PRESENTED ON MAY 18 AT GALA CEREMONY HOSTED BY CAST OF [title of show]
New York, April 28, 2008—Nominations for the 53rd Annual Drama Desk Awards were announced this morning at the New York Friars Club by Bebe Neuwirth and Len Cariou, multi-award winning stage, screen and television stars. They were joined for the announcement by William Wolf, Drama Desk President, Barbara Siegel, Chairperson of the Drama Desk Nominating Committee, Robert Blume, Executive Producer of the Drama Desk Awards, and Randie Levine-Miller, Director of Special Events for the Drama Desk.
In keeping with the Drama Desk's unique mission, the nominators considered shows that opened on Broadway, off Broadway and off-off Broadway during the 2007/2008 season in the same competitive categories. Final deliberations took place at the Travel Inn, New York City.
The 2007/2008 Nominating Committee for the Drama Desk Awards is composed of: Barbara Siegel (TalkinBroadway.com and TheaterMania.com), Chairperson; Dan Bacalzo (TheaterMania.com); Robert Cashill (New York Theater News and Live Design); Celia Ipiotis (Eye on the Arts);Gerard Raymond (Back Stage and The Advocate), and Richard Ridge (Broadwaybeat.com).
Leading the slate of distinguished nominees is A Catered Affair with twelve nominations, followed by Adding Machine with nine, South Pacific and Young Frankenstein, each with eight, August: Osage County, Passing Strange, Sunday in the Park with George and The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island, tied at seven, and Xanadu with six. (See complete list)
The 53rd Annual Drama Desk Awards will be held Sunday, May 18, 2008, in the LaGuardia Concert Hall at Lincoln Center. The awards show will be webcast for the sixth year in a row by TheaterMania.com. It will also be broadcast live on satellite radio’s XM – 28 On Broadway for the second consecutive year.
Drama Desk nominees will receive their official nomination certificates at a cocktail reception on Thursday, May 1, 4:00 to 7:00 PM at Arte Café, 106 West 73rd Street, between Broadway and Columbus Avenue.
In the Heights, which was distinguished with multiple nominations and awards last season, was considered only for new elements in the current Broadway production. Glory Days did not commence performances before the Drama Desk cut-off date and it will therefore be eligible next season.
This year the nominators chose to bestow special ensemble awards for acting to the casts of two shows –The Dining Room off-Broadway and The Homecoming on Broadway. Therefore individual cast members for these shows were not eligible for acting awards in the competitive categories. The Drama Desk maintains its tradition of acknowledging excellence in the theater by announcing special awards to: Edward Albee, James Earl Jones, 59E59 Theaters and Playwrights Horizons.
This year the Nominating Committee recognized the creative use of digital technology and its integral part of theater artistry with a category for Outstanding Projection and Video Design.

The following awards were voted by the nominating committee and will be presented by the Drama Desk at its awards ceremony:
