As for my predictions, I’m beating myself up trying to make a final decision for Lead Actor and Featured Actress in a Play.
Right now, I’m leaning towards McKinley Henderson and Silverman.

I know Victoria Clark was not eligible for this season's awards outside of the Tonys, but I have to imagine Annaleigh is a now very serious contender for the Tony. She is a critical and awards darling of the season. Does anyone else think there is a good chance we see Annaleigh win her second Tony in a few weeks?"
No, Kimberly Clark will Win tthe TONY
Okay, what is the consensus on Featured Actor in a Play?!!?

Short of taking a poll of a substantive and representative number of voters, how could you hear that?
When is the deadline for voters to submit their ballots for this year's Tony's?

So I’ve got my picks pretty much set. But have 3 categories where I’m still undecided…(note I’m going for will win, not should win)
Featured Actress in a Play - Silverman, Crawford or Sullivan
Best Book - Shucked or Kimberly Akimbo
Play Revival - Piano Lesson or Doll’s House

I'd say Hayes and Silverman will Win the Tony

Nope Victoria Clark will Win the Tony!
Per social media, Karla Puno Garcia will be choreographing the Tony ceremony this year.

I'm torn in both Orchestrations and Costumes.
Also the play ones for Costume and Lightining are toss up for me.
I have Pi for Set, Doll's House for Sound and don't know if Leopoldstadt takes Costumes or also goes to Pi, as with Lightining between Prima Facie or Pi.

I think because Pi's costumes include the puppets, that tips it in favor of Pi, but I would LOVE if Ain't No Mo' got an award there. I'm thinking Doll's House for sound as well, with it taking lighting too (though I could see Pi getting lighting as well, and haven't seen Prima Facie).
Orchestrations I've also gone back and forth between all the options. I think most likely it'll be Some Like It Hot with a possibility for & Juliet there, but I wouldn't count anyone out really. Lighting for Sweeney, costumes probably Some Like It Hot (with also a large possibility for & Juliet), and sound for NYNY (with again a possibility for & Juliet).
My Final Predictions (don't follow plays much so those are less educated guesses):
Best Musical: Kimberly Akimbo
Revival of a Musical: Parade
Lead Actress in a Musical: Victoria Clark, Kimberly Akimbo
Lead Actor in a Musical: J. Harrison Ghee, Some Like It Hot
Featured Actress in a Musical: Bonnie Milligan, Kimberly Akimbo
Featured Actor in a Musical: Alex Newell, Shucked
Director of a Musical: Michael Arden, Parade
Original Score: Kimberly Akimbo
Book of a Musical: Kimberly Akimbo
Choreography: Some Like It Hot
Scenic Design of a Musical: New York, New York
Costume Design of a Musical: Some Like It Hot
Lighting Design of a Musical: Sweeney Todd
Sound Design of a Musical: & Juliet
Orchestrations: & Juliet
Best Play: Leopoldstat
Revival of a Play: A Doll's House
Lead Actor in a Play: Sean Hayes, Good Night Oscar
Lead Actress in a Play: Jodie Comer, Prima Facie
Featured Actor in a Play: Brandon Uranowitz, Leopoldstat
Featured Actress in a Play: Crystal Lucas-Perry, Ain't No Mo'
Director of a Play: Patrick Marber, Leopoldstat
Scenic Design of a Play: Life of Pi
Costume Design of a Play: Life of Pi
Lighting Design of a Play: A Christmas Carol
Sound Design of a Play: A Doll's House
Patrick Marber winning direction of a play is so discouraging, but it's probably going to happen.

Yes, IMHO he's the least deserving. Should be Webster or Ali.
