2026 Tony Awards Nominations! — Page 6

Kad said: "I don't know that Jellicle underperformed, per se. It hit the minimum of its expected nomination range- it got in absolutely everywhere it was expected to. It didn't rack up performing nominations, but that was always going to be harder with it and it's worth noting that the only performer to be nominated for this production in any major award, off or on Broadway, has been de Shields."

The part I'm still curious about with Jellicle Ball is how the out of town voters are going to perceive it. NY ballroom culture is a VERY New York specific thing. Is this production's interpretation going to have the same impact on a road house owner voter in Omaha that it does here? Maybe it does, but it's at least worth considering. And in a race this tight, that could potentially be enough to shift it one way or another.

But that still begs the question: what’s winning Best Musical?
It feels like momentum is in Schmigadoon’s favor right now."

Originality has beenfavored in this category for decades now, so TWO STRANGERS it is."

I don't know. I'm getting strong "Outsiders" vibes from "Lost Boys."  Mix-positive reviews, a killer set design, ShoBean, and ripe for young fanbase. 

 

I wish that Anne Reid could've been recognized for her very strong work in Oedipus.

Aya Cash surprised me. I loved her in You're The Worst and The Boys but thought she was borderline terrible in Giant. I was actually surprised by how bad I thought her performance was, because other than Lithgow it was the one I was looking forward to the most

Does anyone else think Shoshana has a strong chance to win Featured Actress? I haven't seen The Lost Boys, and I know it's divisive, but this is her third Tony nom in five years, and all have been in this category. I feel like she could have an "overdue" narrative of sorts that leads her to a win.

Yeah, she's been my predicted winner for a little while now. Nichelle's performance is divisive, Cruz's role is small, and Rachel Dratch certainly isn't getting it. I guess Ana Gasteyer could be a dark horse, but all signs point to a Shoshana career recognition Tony to me.

lol no she stands in the center the whole time and sets up a dinner table if not they have her twirling for a moment while belting. She stands no chance. If someone says she’s going to win they are a tik toker or with the show bless

Cruz' s role might be small but she and Nicholas Christopher are the only standouts in this current revival of Chess. Hanna nails the accent and steals every scene she's in. She completely outshined Lea on stage, despite both being phenomenal vocalists. I'm rooting for her.

Beaches will announce closing now right?

Very much agree.  Big snub.

Will Stephen Schwartz die without a Tony win? Possibly.
