You can kind of tell they aren't used to a high-budget, big stage. Alice is brilliant, but she isn't very deliberate in her movement.

@ccooper23 Singing hard songs with a almost impossible to do acting and through out going from happy to sad to crazy sometimes in one song you have to win a tony.

Billy Elliot also appeals to the masses and ultimately is a happier story, and Next to Normal on the other hand is darker and less happy. Both do however deal with pretty contemporary subscts and were really the only two musicals the were in line to win best musical, shrek and rock of ages didnt stand a chance. but i like both equally.

It's a shame this didn't win best Musical!! It was so deserving.. At least Alice Ripley won. She is incredible!

Absolutely incredible. Why was Aaron Tviet not nominated? He should have won it!
