Will there really be competition this year? Someone will win of course. But Spring Awakening closes in Jan. Dames At Sea not doing all that well. Thoughts?

Fiddler. Shuffle Along...

Color Purple?

Spring Awakening might have stood a chance if Ken Davenport had actually done something to get their grosses up..

It would be an utter joke if Dames at Sea wins, let alone nominated

I think She Loves Me might take it if done well

"Do you even know if Shuffle Along is actually a revival yet?

And we won't until after it opens, the Tiny committee discusses shows based upon their open dates

As of now, I think the nominees will be:

 

The Color Purple
Fiddler on the Roof
Spring Awakening

 

Though if there is a fourth slot, She Loves Me.

Shuffle Along has quite the cast and creative team.  It may be a big frontrunner if it is considered a revival.

How many Tony slots are there usually for revivals?

If there are five revivals or less, there can be three nominees for musical revival.  I believe if there are three or less votes between the third and fourth revival, the category can be expanded to four nominees.

I think this will be a four-nominee year. The possibilities, to my knowledge, are Fiddler on the Roof, Spring Awakening, Dames at Sea, The Color Purple, She Loves Me, and potentially Shuffle Along.

 

I think that everybody is hesitant to predict any Spring Awakening production/performance nominations since it'll be long-closed by the awards, but if there's any spot I would guarantee a nod for it, it would be Revival.

 

That said, I think locks will be for Spring Awakening, Fiddler, and Color Purple. Dames will probably get locked out. We'll have to see how She Loves Me goes, and what the committee decides on Shuffle Along.

She Loves Me is at Roundabout and their productions are usually so well done, look at On The 20th Century and Violet just in the last 2 years, and Anything Goes in 2012. Those were all nominated. (although was Violet considered new since it was Off-Broadway before? I can't remember)

I have high hopes for She Loves and really hope it will get in there. Same goes for Laura in the lead actress category, but that's another topic.

No, it wasn't considered new. It was considered a revival because it was a revival.

I just couldn't remember because it was the first ever Broadway production, what the ruling had been. But of course that's the case with Dames as well, duh.

I have no idea how your comment remotely has anything to do with this thread. And I see you just joined 7 days ago. Typical mistake.

Though Roundabout does have their share of misfires like the 2001 revival of Follies, The Threepenny Opera, Pal Joey, Bye Bye Birdie, etc.

You make absolutely zero sense. If you have nothing to add to the convo of THE THREAD that actually has something to do with the thread. Why even comment?

"This post was in no way a negative post. Nor implying that there would be no competition. I was merely wondering what everyone's thoughts were with some closing before the TONYS and or possibly closing before hand. Nothing more nothing less.

This isn't a conversation yet as no one has seen all of these yet. I'd say Shuffle Along is looking like it will def get a nom though.
