If you had to bet on Sunday's biggest upset, it would be... — Page 2

I actually think Great Comet needs Best Musical the most. Come From Away is picking up steam, and Dear Evan Hansen has had steam all along. But we've seen what not having Josh Groban has done to Comet's numbers, when he's missed multiple performances a week. That concerns me. But if it had Best Musical attached to it, that could give it a post-Groban boost, which could only be a good thing. I won't be disappointed, no matter which show wins. But I'd like to see Comet win for that reason (since all the shows are amazing, to me). Just my opinion, though.

And to answer the OP's question, I could easily see Jenn Colella beating out RBJ.

I don't know if any of you look at Goldderby, but they have interesting predictions.

Honestly, I would be so happy if Falsettos wins anything, the production was fabulous and the cast was so talented. I'd love to see SJB win- she was amazing but I can't see it happening. Maybe Rannells will pull in a win but him and Uranowitz could split the vote just like him and Josh Gad during Book Of Mormon (Rannells should have won) but I guess the biggest upset would be Christian Borle winning but that has legitimately no chance of happening in my opinion.

Catherine Zuber wins Best Costumes for War Paint. CFA wins Best Book. Mary Beth Peil Featured Actress. La La Land for Best Musical.

Indecent winning Best Play. Although none of the plays winning would really be an upset since they are all very well received. Indecent really hits you hard like others don't and I think the ticket sales are different than what Tony voters will like.

I'd argue there's an overdue factor with Andy if he were to win. And that's not to say he shouldn't win, I think it's a Tony-worthy performance, but these awards aren't voted on solely based on talent or merit. Why else would Dear Evan Hansen have an ice cream truck?

Laura Linney wins Best Actress and The Little Foxes beats Jitney for Best Revival

Honestly, I seriously hope this happens.

Has that ever happened where a show has won Best Musical and nothing else?"

I can't answer your question, but I've been wondering if Come From Away's fate might play out this way. I thought it was very strong as a complete work, meaning the book, score, direction, and company all working together to create a cohesive, unified experience, without the credit obviously owing to any one of those individual factors.

The book for Come From Away is lousy. It would really be a shame if they gave it to them as a token award.

I don't think that's ever happened with Best Musical, but it's definitely happened with Best Play--just recently, both Clybourne Park and Vanya, Sonia.... only took Best Play (and the next year All The Way only took Actor and Play, so that's 3 straight Tony winning Best Plays with only 4 awards between them)
