I am sure when the nominees for the 65^th Tony Awards heard they were in the running to receive Broadway’s most prestigious honor, they felt on top of world.  Yesterday they were on top of the world, literally.  Tony nominees Patina Miller (Sister Act), Judith Light (Lombardi), Coleman Domingo (The Scottsboro Boys), Joshua Henry (The Scottsboro Boys), Forrest McClendon (The Scottsboro Boys), Lily Rabe (Merchant of Venice), Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon), Rory O’Malley (The Book of Mormon), Nikki M. James (The Book of Mormon) and Arian Moayed (Bengal Tiger at the Bagdad Zoo) braved Manhattan’s sweltering humidity fiesta to pose for photos at the Empire State Building’s observatory, located on the 86^th floor.  This Sunday the Tony Awards will air on CBS and will be broadcasted live from the Beacon Theatre.  Check out the video below to view the nominees sans the costumes, doing summer casual.
