I can't help but think that this season's Tony battle for Best Musical is going to be one of the best in recent memory.

Because Fun Home was eligible for awards such as the Drama Desk and Critics Circle Awards last season, it won't be eligible this year, correct?

That means it's likely to go through the entire award season without winning a "Best Musical" award until the Tonys, where, after Something Rotten or The Visit have won all the precursors, they may overtake it for the big award or Fun Home may still pull off the big win.

I think it makes for an interesting storyline!

I would think that Hamilton would probably win all the precursors. I know the Outer Critics have a separate category for Off-Broadway, but it'll probably beat Something Rotten or The Visit at the Drama Desk.

"I would think that Hamilton would probably win all the precursors. I know the Outer Critics have a separate category for Off-Broadway, but it'll probably beat Something Rotten or The Visit at the Drama Desk."

You're right, that could totally be true, meaning that we could make it to the Tonys without one of the Best Musical nominees having won a precursor Best Musical award. It's kind of a crazy thought. Although I'm sure at least one award will award Something Rotten or the Visit over all the other Off-Broadway shows. It just always seems to work out that way. Like the Drama Desks never (at least in the last 15 years) award the better Off-Broadway show over the "sure-to-win" Broadway show. May change this year though, who knows?

yeah Gentleman's Guide still beat Fun Home last year at the Drama Desks

[CoreyRyan3]

Posted: 3/28/15 at 5:31pm

^^^ yeah, but with the powerhouse that is Hamilton this year, I wouldn't be surprised if that trend changes!

It should be noted that "precursors" mean almost nothing to the Tonys.

Kad, i just read your review of Something Rotten. Have you seen It Shoulda Been You or Finding Neverland?

[Bilbo3]

Posted: 3/28/15 at 5:42pm

Stop sucking up.

"It should be noted that "precursors" mean almost nothing to the Tonys."

Yes, I'm aware they mean little to nothing to the Tonys, it will just be interesting because it's likely The Tonys will be the first time that The Visit, Fun Home, and Something Rotten will actually be pitted against each other, meaning it will be mostly unpredictable.

"Like the Drama Desks never (at least in the last 15 years) award the better Off-Broadway show over the "sure-to-win" Broadway show."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Little Shop of Horrors in 1983 is the only Off-Broadway production to win the Drama Desk Outstanding Musical, isn't it?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but does anyone know when the final eligibility meeting it? I'm almost as curious about their eligibility decisions as I am about the nominations themselves.

DARK HORSES from King & I: 

 

Featured Actress - Ashley Park

Featured Actor - Jon Viktor Corpuz

So Best Musical is looking like -

Fun Home

Something Rotten

An American in Paris

and something else... for now I'm predicting Honeymoon in Vegas but it could just as likely be Finding Neverland.

[Someone in a Tree2]

Having now seen all of the above except SOMETHING ROTTEN, I'd expect and hope the four nominees for new musical will be:

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, FINDING NEVERLAND, FUN HOME, and SOMETHING ROTTEN.

And what a great season for new musicals that would make, too.
