From what I understand, the show has two supporting male roles. Considering there aren't that many outstanding supporting male performances this year, I am predicting one of those two roles will win. Tony nominations are as much as the role as it is the performance.

And obviously this whole exercise is throwing darts blindly until shows open and reviews come out. So, feel free to throw in your predictions. Or snipe. That would be easier.

They had one back on '05. Only Jonathan Pryce for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Harvey Fierstein for Fiddler were nominated. There was some controversy (I forget what it was), it was a disaster, it never happened again.

I do wonder who is going to win the Lead Actress in a Musical award. There seems to be no favorite as of now in the way that people like Patti LuPone, Alice Ripley, Christine Ebersole et al were hyped up and pretty much a foregone conclusion by the time their shows were even announced to come to Broadway. I'd love to see Catherine Z. Jones add a Tony win to her credits, I imagine the competition will come down to Jones, Barbara Cook (who could win just for being a veteran), and Kristin Chenoweth.

I do wonder whether Noll or Baldwin will get that slot.
