It's difficult to say. In general, I'd categorize Camille's choreography as more effective. It filled the space, added to the play, and was only extraneous in a few moments. Whereas Paradise Square was somewhat overchoreographed (even compared with Black No More) but reached higher heights in its best moments. I don't think the play choreography is so remarkable that it would naturally overcome musical spectacle... but I also wouldn't be mad if it did.

I’m not the best at evaluating this which is why the category feels so wide open to me, but I would love for it to go to for colored girls. The movement is so integral to the show and the show is so effective, so it feels like a good way to award it. MJ is the flashiest so it seems like it would be the front runner. Six could get it if there’s a lot of love for the show from the voters. I thought maybe Paradise Square could get it if the voters love the show as much as the nominators. The only one I don’t see a path for is The Music Man

Funny Girl will stick around for at least several months, but Mrs. Doubtfire is toast. My target closing is August 14.

Mr. Saturday Night will play out Crystal’s contract and close, and it’s possible The Music Man may do the same with Jackman."

Jordan, you have made several Broadway-related doomsday predictions (stated as fact, mind you), since March 2020, and very few, if any, have come true. So I think you can be forgiven if not everyone takes you even the least bit seriously on your very (oddly) specific dates.
