Three actors share the title role in Billy Elliot, alternating performances equally. How would you like to see the Tony Awards handle this unusual situation when it comes time to consider nomination eligibility? 11 comments

	Since they each average less than three performances a week they should not be considered for any Tony honors.

	If all three are considered deserving, they should receive a special honor.

	If all three are considered deserving, they should receive a special Tony.

	They should keep the eligibility rule as is and only consider the actor who performs on opening night for a nomination.

	They should be eligible to share a nomination with a vote for one counting as a vote for all three.

	They each should be eligible for separate nominations with voters required to see all nominated Billys.
