| Two Tony nominations for Lestat Wednesday, May 17 2006 |
The 2006 Tony Award nominations were announced on May 16, 2006 at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center by Tony winners Phylicia Rashad, Natasha Richardson and Liev Schreiber.
"The Drowsy Chaperone" led the pack with thirteen nominations. "The Color Purple" came in a close second with eleven nominations, and "Awake and Sing!," with eight, racked up the most nominations of any play.
"Lestat" received two nominations:
Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical
Carolee Carmello, Lestat
Best Costume Design of a Musical
Susan Hilferty, Lestat
The biggest star of the season on Broadway, Oscar-winner Julia Roberts, was not among those nominated as best actress in a play. Her Broadway debut was panned by critics but in a year with few outstanding female performances there was speculation she could make the grade, particularly if organizers had hoped to tempt her to be a presenter at the ceremony on June 11, 2006.
