It will be someone from AUGUST. Just like last year we knew that someone from COAST OF UTOPIA (the AUGUST of this year in terms of accolades, buzz, and hit status) would win both featured acting awards regardless of the fact that two performers from the show were nominated in each category, this year the Best Leading Actress in a Play award will go to either Morton or Dunagan.
Dunagan won the Jeff Award in Chicago over Morton. I guess the Drama Desks and OCC Awards will tell us a bit more about what to expect come Tony night.
I'm not seeing the play until the week before Tony week so I can't really give much of an opinion, but most people on the board seem to think the Tony is Morton's to lose.
