I think the fact that it's opening right as Tony season kicks into high gear will give it a slight edge over fellow drama Therese Raquin. And honestly, aside from these two, what else could be a viable contender? Certainly not MTC's Our Mother's Brief Affair or Misery or China Doll. Will they give one slot to a comedy: An Act of God or Fully Committed? They're both more or less one man shows, though, so I'm skeptical of their chances. The Father has the dramatic heft, it received such critical acclaim from its original production, and it will be on the minds of the nominating committee who will be seeing it right around now before making their picks before May 3.

Fool for Love or Blackbird may slip in, but I think Eclipsed, Father, Humans, and King Charles seems likely.



"

That's if Blackbird isn't also ruled a revival.

CapnHook, thanks for the clarification on Fully Committed.



If Blackbird somehow was ruled eligible for Play instead of Revival, then it clearly gets in alongside The Humans, Eclipsed, and King Charles III. I think that's extremely unlikely, though, so the last slot really comes down to The Father and Therese.

Saw it tonight, yeah Langella totally earned that TONY with this one an absolute master class from one of the best

I saw it tonight as well and absolutely agree. I really loved the show too.
