Tonys 2014 Predictions
Just like when I (miserably) put my predictions for the Oscars, I'm doing it again but this time for the Tonys!
I have the great opportunity to be in the city, however not fortunate to be in Radio City Music Hall. But I will be with friends and watching it at a viewing party!
We'll see how I fare this time around with these predictions, let's hope better than the Oscars...
These predictions are completely guesses and I had to do some research on some of the shows since I haven't seen all of them.
