I had never thought of this but wow. I want this to happen so bad. 

This show has always had two nominations on lock (lead actress, choreography). The choreography is pretty well done, mostly fun and interesting. I'm agnostic on it winning but it very well could. Joaquina Kalukango was incredible. She has tough competition in Clarke and she may not take it this year, but she has multiple tony winner written all over her if given the opportunity.  Lighting was also excellent and unsurprising. 

Otherwise it's competing against a relativ
