Not making this all about the Tonys, but just observing and acknowledging the ABUNDANCE OF RICHES that will be or could be gracing the stages of next year's confirmed (and rumored) Broadway musicals... that alone is worth celebrating!
Katie Brayben (Tammy Faye)
Helen Shen (Maybe Happy Ending)
Sutton Foster (Once Upon A Mattress)
Megan Hilty (Death Becomes Her)
Robyn Hurder (Smash) - transfer not confirmed
Audra McDonald (Gypsy)
Idina Menzel (Redwood)
Bernadette Peters (Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends) - featured?
Jasmine Amy Rogers (Boop!) - dates/venue not confirmed
Lea Salonga (Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends) - featured?
Nicole Scherzinger (Sunset Blvd.)
Jennifer Simard (Death Becomes Her)
Adrienne Warren (The Last Five Years)
...and Caissie Levy if Next to Normal transfers, plus the Wicked-ly talented Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel if The Queen of Versailles and Redwood transfers.
And that's not even featured actresses like Michelle Williams (Death Becomes Her) and the others that haven't even been announced yet!

It definitely could be the best season ever for Lead Actress in a Musical. But Audra's gonna win....

I feel like first we have to play the "is Old Friends a musical" game.

If Audra’s Gypsy is more like Bernadette’s Gypsy than Patti’s Gypsy (ie question of vocal fit) and Nicole is received well I wouldn’t rule out Nicole winning!
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
