You know what is funny. i think Jagged Little Pill will win
The nominees might be
Moulin Rouge
Jagged Little Pill
Six
but it could be a new musical we have not even heard of. MR got mixed reviews. So it won't win

PIzza3 is Mr. Smith, yes?
And EVERYONE is going after the same money. That being said, I think SIX is aging a bit younger than MR. MR has the sentimental feel - so more about people that were into the film. I know my students are far more into curious about Six.

Same audience, perhaps. But I would not call them direct competition really simply based on ticket prices and making it accessible to audiences. If anything, Moulin Rouge's uncalled for high ticket prices might only HELP Six. People that can't afford to pay $200 to sit in the balcony of Moulin Rouge might be more willing to pay $140 for legit good seats to see Six. BUT Moulin Rouge comes with a built in fanbase unlike Six's fanbase because Moulin Rouge is a piece of Pop Culture. People that don't see musicals will go see Moulin Rouge because they know/like the movie. Six has a very dedicated fanbase but it's in no way a piece of pop culture. Yet at least.
If we are talking about award season potential, it's way to early to tell as there are still a LOT of room for other shows to announce and open before the Tony cut off. As of now, I would say don't count out Girl From North County as real competition.

Girl From the North Country is my sleeper fave to win Best Musical unless the voters weigh the tech awards MR is likely to win heavily in their vote for the top prize--but Six would definitely have a shot at original score given that it's currently the only original score out there against plays as you noted.
