	Seattle's 'best' Tony hopes pinned to 'Hairspray'
		Although it could theoretically break the record of all-time Tony champ "The Producers" (which won 12 in 2001), it would require an unlikely tie between two nominated "Hairspray" actors (Dick Latessa and Corey Reynolds) who are competing for best featured actor in a musical.
		When the final award is given -- in the category of best musical -- "Hairspray" should be the proud owner of at least eight Tonys.
		Although "Millie" won for best musical last year, "Urinetown" took best book, best score and best director, which split the prizes in an almost Solomonic fashion (which, by the way, was predicted here).

	Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty--Ragtime
		At first, Stephen was at a loss as to how to approach it, because the sentences were so long, but after wrestling with it for a while and walking around the roof of his apartment building, he took his musical cues from Lynn's lyric, and the word "crossroad" in particular.
		He realized that Mother has come to a decision point in her journey, and at that moment, the song goes into a totally different key, and the chord used at that point, and the entire direction of the song, was inspired by that word.
		She said she has never shared with him what her original musical impulse was.
