2020 Tony Awards Poll

Posted: 4/29/20 at 12:42pm

While it looks as though the 2020 Tony Awards will not happen, I decided to act as if business were usual and create the annual poll in which we can vote for who we want to win. I have included every show that officially opened during the shortened season. The poll will remain open until the night the Tonys were supposed to be held. Enjoy!

That’s wild that Percy Jackson was the only musical to officially open with an original score.

They could do a virtual awards ceremony sometime in August. Would be interesting the following year though based on how few new shows open.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

If the current numbers are in any way indicative of how Tony voters might vote (if there is a 2020 vote), Moulin Rouge and The Inheritance would both dominate awards night with 8 wins each. West Side Story, Jagged Little Pill, and A Christmas Carol would each win 2 Tonys. Tina, Girl from the North Country, Betrayal, and The Sound Inside would each win 1.

I don't think I could sit through it again, but I am continually dumbfounded by the love Moulin Rouge! gets. Besides being very shiny and loud, I thought it was one of the most mediocre musicals I've seen in a long time.

And not only that, but had the season gone as planned, we still would have only had 5 (unless I'm forgetting something): Percy, Doubtfire, Sunset, Six and Diana (I'm assuming Sing Street would have been ineligible). So I think it's safe to say at least one play (probably A Christmas Carol) would have gotten nominated (over Percy) with possibly another over Diana.

God, what a horrendous season for musicals on Broadway. If A Strange Loop and Soft Power had been in this mix, It would have been a lot easier to make choices...but in some cases on this list it's a matter of "what was the most painless experience?"

A bit pedantic, but shouldn't Jonathan Tunick for West Side story not be listed since it's the original orchestrations?

Didn't Tunick contribute some new orchestrations?

Oops, my bad! I didn't realize they had new orchestrations for this production and (wrongly) thought Tunick had done the original.

Bumping as we have a week and a half left until the poll closes.

If the current numbers are in any way indicative of how Tony voters might vote (if there is a 2020 vote), Moulin Rouge and The Inheritance would both dominate awards night with 10 and 8 wins, respectively. A Christmas Carol would win 2 Tonys. West Side Story, Jagged Little Pill, Slave Play, Tina, Girl from the North Country, Betrayal, and The Sound Inside would each win 1.

Whoever mentioned original scores, Flying Over Sunset would have also had an original score.

This was a list of shows that officially opened this season. Lightning Thief was the only musical with an original score to officially open.

It's interesting to think about how many of these wins would remain the same had everything been able to open as planned. I think Danny Burstein and Mary Louise Parker probably would have won anyway, unless Laurie Metcalf won for Virginia Woolf.

I know you. I know you. I know you.

I actually think Joaquina would've had the edge ...

And what a dreadful year for Best Actor in a Musical ... yuck. Compared to two years ago when Shalhoub won, but any of the four would've made sense.

Those would've been awful winners had the Tonys gone on. Luckily, they were smart to postpone them - most likely till next year and combine the two years.
