Former "American Idol" contestant Constantine Maroulis received a nomination in the "Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical" category for his work in Rock of Ages.
The Twitterverse reacted to the nominations with mixed opinions:
lainiecooke Is it just me? Not terribly interested in the Tonys this year. Don't know why.
MelissaY1 Good morning, Starshines...HAIR has been nominated for 8 Tony awards and deservedly so. Saw it last month and it was AMAZING
tesuit Constantine Maroulis got a Tony nomination? Wednesday really is anything can happen day.
NhuAn @IknowBroadway Don't think any musical can overtake Billy Elliott's momentum. Disappointed at #Tonys for Shrek's 8 noms! Come on!
Rock of Ages is definitely not like any other Broadway show I've seen but it is more entertaining than 98% of them. I agree with the critics that Constantine Maroulis has a natural acting style that makes you want to root for his character, Drew, all the way! And- the guy can really sing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Constantine and the entire outstanding cast.
