" The Tony Awards Administration Committee has announced additional eligibility rulings for the 2008-2009 season.
The three boys playing the title role in Billy Elliot -- David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik, and Kiril Kulish -- will be eligible to be considered jointly in the Leading Actor in a Musical category.
Additional musical rulings include Irving Berlin's White Christmas actors Stephen Bogardus, Jeffry Denman, Kerry O'Malley and Meredith Patterson will be considered in the Leading Actor in a Musical and Leading Actress in Musical categories; Shrek's Brian d'Arcy James and Sutton Foster will be considered as leads, while Danny Troob and John Clancy are eligible in the category of Best Orchestrations; Pal Joey's Martha Plimpton will be eligible in the Featured Actress in a Musical category, while Richard Greenberg's new book for the show will be eligible in the Book of a Musical category.
Liza's at the Palace, Slava's Snowshow, and Soul of Shaolin will all be considered eligible in the Special Theatrical Event category. Dividing the Estate and The American Plan are both eligible in the category of Best Play.
All other decisions were consistent with the opening night credits.
This is the third time the Tony Awards Administration Committee has met this year. It will meet two more times to discuss the eligibility of shows opening in the 2008-2009 season. The cut-off date for eligibility is April 30, 2009.
The awards will be presented by the League of American Theatres and Producers and the American Theatre Wing on Sunday, June 7 and broadcast live on CBS.
