With David Hein and Irene Sankoff as legit contenders for a Tony for Best Score (perhaps an even greater chance for Best Book and Best New Musical), I'm wondering if there is a precedent for a real-life couple winning a Tony in any of these categories.

I haven't seen Come From Away yet.  I've heard it's good, but is it really going to win these awards over Hansen?

Well, the Lopezes will be likely nominated next year for Frozen

I don't see how David Hein & Irene Sankoff could win Best Musical since they're not producers on Come From Away.
