Up for 2000's Tony Award for Best Actress are Audra McDonald (Marie Christine), Marin Mazzie (Kiss Me, Kate) and Heather Hedley (Aida). Not pictured are Toni Collette (The Wild Party) and Rebecca Luker (The Music Man). Every year, the American Theatre Wing and the League of American Theatres and Producers, who co-produce the Tony Awards, throw a brunch for the nominees at Sardi's theatrical restaurant. This year's lunchtime event -- which is as much a meet-and-greet for the stars and media as it is an occasion to dine -- took place May 17, 11:30 AM in the restaurant's Eugenia Room. Tony nominees received their special certificates at the gathering.
