I wonder what the reason is......??!!?"

I have no idea WHY they chose to do this, but it was previously reported or rumored that they would not be inviting the Lortels, DDs, OCCs, DLs, etc. to consider it.

Perhaps the belief is "you can't lose an award if you aren't nominated" (even though it would probably stand a good chance of sweeping all Best Musical and Score awards)."

Probably the same reason the Jake/Annaleigh revival of Sunday withdrew from awards consideration:

The producers reportedly released a statement saying: “The producers of Sunday in the Park with George will not be submitting Hudson Theatre’s engagement of this New York City Center production for awards eligibility. With a season so full of tremendous, soon-to-be long-running new musicals and revivals, the producers feel this extremely limited, special run of Sunday stands most appropriately outside of any awards competition. The production is nevertheless proud to be part of such a landmark Broadway season.”

So happy to see Nikki M James included. One of my favorite performances of the season.

Snubs:   Kelli O'Hara and Brian d'Arcy James...unbelievable that they didn't get recognition.  Also Jeremy Jordan for Jay Gatsby.   Michael Imperioli for "An Enemy of the People".   Chip Zien for "Harmony".   And Kenny Leon should have been recognized for direction of "Purlie Victorious"...

Great that all three leads were nominated from "Merrily"...can't recall when that happened before.

O’Hara was nominated. The Imperioli snub is odd given Caleb Eberhardt got in, but I think that’s easily chalked up to him also being recognized for The Comeuppance.

100% agree that  Kenny Leon should have been nominated for direction of "Purlie Victorious"...

"The Doctor" and Juliet Stevenson's fierce performance at Park Armory both snubbed too.  This after Oresteia/Hamlet was nominated last year by this group.

And with "Flex" nominated?  really?

he added a correction tweet and then deleted everything lolz
