“Phonys” - The 2022 Message Board Tonys — Page 2

(Having not seen A Beautiful Noise or the Broadway run of & Juliet)

Musical - Kimberly Akimbo (though Some Like It Hot would take it if it had a better score)
Musical Revival - Into the Woods
Leading Actor in a Musical - Brian D'Arcy James, Into the Woods
Leading Actress in a Musical - Sara Bareilles, Into the Woods (I'd give it to both her and Victoria Clark if I could, as much as I wish Luna could have it)
Featured Actor in a Musical - Cole Thompson, Into the Woods
Featured Actress in a Musical - Carolee Carmello, 1776

Didn't really think I'd be handing out 4 awards to Into the Woods, but these performances have really stayed with me


Play - Cost of Living (though having seen Life of Pi, that would most likely be my pick for the season overall)
Play Revival - Death of a Salesman
Leading Actor in a Play - Wendell Pierce, Death of a Salesman
Leading Actress in a Play - Sharon D. Clarke, Death of a Salesman
Featured Actor in a Play - Jordan E. Cooper, Ain't No Mo' (if he gets put in featured)
Featured Actress in a Play - Kara Young, Cost of Living

What would be the precise category for this award?"

Whether or not someone is actually eligible is REALLY REALLY important for a thread on an internet forum that is called the PHONYS and is essentially just an avenue for people to share the shows and performances that have stood out to them in the last 6 months."

Oops, my bad. I was obviously unclear on the concept. Please allow me to make up for it.

Leading actor impersonating an historically male character in a musical - the first person who stood in for the miscast initial lead, The Music Man.

For those of you young whippersnappers out there who want to get some idea of how far off (in parsecs) this revival was from the original, here is how My White Knight was meant to sound.
