No doubt Lea is a star. But she isn’t giving a star turning performance. This year is interesting in that there aren’t any showy roles. Also, assuming Kristen doesn’t get nominated, this will be all first time nominees in the lead actress category. Seems like Caissie has the edge over the other presumptive nominees being in a critically acclaimed show with a solid performance AND being consistently working hard on Broadway for 20 years.

Assuming Bean goes lead for The Lost Boys.

I generally like Lea as a performer, but she definitely does not deserve a Tony for this role.

Darn, I thought you left for good. Hoped we would be spared from you polluting this board with your idiocy.

What a pitiful display of characterlessness.

How on earth are you able to get through the day?

Are you under the illusion that the Tony Award for an actress has anything to do with what I love in politics? Bless your heart.

Are you STILL under the illusion that liking your own posts immediately after posting them makes them any more valuable? Talk about pitiful. 

Back to the topic, sounds like you have Lea Michele Derangement Syndrome! 🤡

Lea, is that you?

Sit down please, I just thought this wasn't your role.

Honestly I'm not convinced Lea is getting nominated, like I certainly think it's possible but by no means a guarantee.  I think Caissie Levy and Marla Mindelle are locks for noms (and my assumption is the win will go to either of them), followed by Shoshana Bean and Jessica Vosk.  And then the last slot could go Lea Michele or Sara Chase or Christiani Pitts.  Lea in particular is hampered by a terrible book that does nothing to really help her out in terms of crafting character, so the parts where she shines really are just the big songs.  Though I think the good will from Funny Girl could push her over into getting that nom, especially since she seems to be on the campaign trail already, but based on performance alone I personally would not consider it a Tony winning performance.

There is a surge for Christianni Pitts from Two Strangers.  She's half of a great show with a bigger role and more stage time than these women.  I would not counter her out to not surprise.

Shoshana Bean will likely be featured per friends who saw previous workshops of The Lost Boys.

I think as of this moment, it is Caissie Levy's to lose. Anything could happen, but I do not think Lea poses a big threat. There is love for Marla, but I think the Tonys tend to take the leading performance categories "seriously" and would be shocked if a (very good!) performance in a parody musical won out.

Christiani Pitts could get a nomination, cannot imagine a world where she wins.

I think part of the equation for a performance like Marla's to win would be that Titanique would need to be a big fat hit. Doesn't seem like that's in the cards for this production as of yet...

I wish Audra’s Gypsy had opened this season. She would have been a lock for the Tony for sure. 

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Just shut up MAGA troll. You’re not even good at trolling. Your responses are lazy and pathetic. No one wants you here. Go post your garbage on your orange blubber butt cult leader’s website. You induce vomit.

I sort of disagree. I think pretty much everyone in the cast is only competent and not doing anything really spectacular, although I admit Ben Levi Ross as 
Mother’s Younger Brother is probably the best in the role that I've ever seen, and Nichelle Lewis as Sarah is horribly miscast. I think the cast is being over-praised due to the timing of this show and how well regarded it is. Even the production itself is nothing spectacular.

I think it's way too early to tell, although it seems pretty clear Levy and Michele are locks for nominations.

I also think it's very likely Marla Mindelle and (especially) Sara Chase will shift the conversation in a really exciting way.

I also think it depends if titanique can generate buzz. Sara Chase I didn’t even think of. How was she in the Kennedy center production?

Here we are two months later, and Lea didn't even get nominated.

And the fact you dug up a two month old thread to state something everyone already knows is an extra kind of sad. Odd there are no threads pinning men against each other in the Tony races, just bitchy men creating threads pinning women against each other. Nawp.
