I was expecting Clooney to miss out - figured Denzel and/or Gyllenhaal would be too big to ignore. But both of them missing for McCartney was NOT on my radar!
BEST ACTOR IN A MUSICAL Darren Criss (Maybe Happy Ending) Andrew Durand (Dead Outlaw) Tom Francis (Sunset Blvd.) Jonathan Groff (Just in Time) James Monroe Iglehart (A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical) Jeremy Jordan (Floyd Collins)
Leading Actor in a Musical getting 6 nominees, but one of them being Iglehart over David Hyde Pierce is... a choice. Meanwhile the chock full Leading Actress in a Musical category only gets 5 nominees. Wild.

I would compare McCartney to Sarah Snook's performance in its physicality and intensity. He's fantastic. No surprise that he's nominated.
Yeah, Othello is not getting a Revival nod. I wonder what will take its place. Kit Connor and Jim Parsons also did not make it in despite 6 in the category so I don't think those shows are strong either. Could it be Home?!?!
I think Home is going to get that 4th revival slot. I had a funny feeling about it last night. And now Kit Connor has missed lead actor despite nominations at Drama League and OCC. I feel like he was the reason to love Romeo and Juliet. And clearly Othello is dead. Which means the open revival slot is probably Home as a way to honor the playwright who passed away shortly before performances started.
