"lol you don't know if it is going to win the Tony. Plus, the last 4 years they have been giving the award to shows that needed help at the box office, so maybe American Psycho will take home the big prize. ya never know"
Or maybe they just gave them to the shows they thought were most worthy? The best selling show that season isn't necessarily the BEST show that season. Once, Kinky Boots, GGLAM, and Fun Home. I would think that all of these shows (maybe with the exception of Kinky/Matilda) are considered better than the shows that were their biggest competitors in their respective seasons.
I think this is proven by the fact that they all won big awards such as Book, Director, Score, aand several tech categories. Fun Home pretty much swept the major awards. Kinky won several major ones. Once pretty much won every award possible for it that year.
So instead of claiming that the voters voted for these shows because they needed a box office boost, maybe look at the larger picture and consider that they maybe got votes because the voters believed they were BETTER.
