Six is also starting to struggle. Do we think it'll close soon and move off-Broadway? Moulin Rouge is still selling super well - do they currently have a famous person in the cast? I didn't think so...

I'm so impressed with how well this has sold. I expected huge dips after Josh left but they've been fairly stable with Sutton/Aaron. 

If predictions hold, I can see this being a year when best musical goes to a show that wins nothing else. The Outsiders or Hell's Kitchen look like frontrunners and with book/score going to Suffs, acting/direction awards going to revivals/Kelli, choreo going to Illinoise...what else can they win? Orchestrations? Lighting?

Or they will (correctly) award Illinoise as best musical and all will be grand. 

I love this! Thank you for sharing.

We need to get Robin De Jesus back to Broadway and finally win his Tony. 

So many to be excited about! I know that Daniel Radcliffe was a guarantee nom, but I'm so happy for Mr. Radcliffe after being ignored so many times by the nominating team. His work in Merrily (and other shows!) is exemplary and I'm so glad he has finally been recognized. 

One of the most crazy seasons! I tried some predictions below. I purposefully went rogue on a lot of them because I expect (and hope for) full chaos tomorrow morning. (*** = winner)

Best Musical
Hell's Kitchen

These reviews are actually not as terrible as I was expecting. So yay for low expectations? 

Jessica Lange seems likely to win. I would personally love to see Leslie Odom Jr. take it. 

I think Cabaret will still do well with nominations - revival, actor, actress, featured actor, featured actress, set, maybe director? These still seem plausible to me. Other than Bebe, I don't think they will win any. 

My point was that if a lot of people were getting tickets, I expected there to be less seat options. But sure, be your condescending self. 

Got my tickets after waiting an hour LOL there seemed to be ton of seat options when I was on the site, no idea why they had such a backup. 

Whether she's in it for the Tony or not, who cares?? She's using her name to support theater. And she's a WOC which makes it even better. Jennifer Hudson could produce as many shows as she wants. 

How was the Encores production of Anyone Can Whistle? I've seen clips and Donna Murphy is a dream. I feel like Sutton and Raul could go either way.

Any rumors about the supporting cast?

I'm glad they survived the reviews much better than expected. I still expect a similar run to last year's production of New York, New York. 

This may be an obvious observation but it's truly amazing how much *quality* work Sondheim put out there in a short amount of time. Yes, there's "high" level Sondheim shows (Sweeney, Into The Woods, ALNM) but even his "lower" level work is better than most people's best work. It's so impressive that every show mentioned here warrants a revival at any and all times.

Sally and Phyllis are 49."

Oh interesting! I always think of those roles as much older but you're definitely right - my lineup of ladies are of the correct age (regardless that they look much younger)

Let's wait 15 years to get an Audra and Kelli Follies (or Benanti or Mueller or Headley or.....)
