The experts and there Tony predictions......

That page is tough to navigate. I did find it. Some categories left me scratching my head. Only 3 'experts' think Kinky Boots will take it, while the editors are very evenly divided, with Kinky having an ever so slight edge. (Oddly, the editors tip both book and score to Kinky.)

I can't believe that the 'experts' are so divided on best direction of a musical. Diane Paulus has won every single award leading up to the Tonys-this is her year.

And the only category where there was 100% agreement-featured actress in a musical. (Andrea Martin-duh.)

Leading Actress was pretty much on Patina's side with a few people saying Osnes. Featured Actor in a musical was interesting, although Terrence Mann seems to have an edge over Gabriel Ebert. (Leading Actor was really interesting between Billy Porter and Bertie Carvel...could there very possibly be a tie???)

Matilda was a clean sweep for best musical by both the experts and the editors (yay!)

Billy Porter seems to have the edge over Carvel (boo!)

The expert from Gay USA (never heard of it) chose Lila Crawford. So I guess he didn't get the memo that she wasn't even nominated.

Matilda was not a clean sweep. The editors were divided over that category more than any other. It's a very tight race to be sure.

That guy from Gay USA thinks Annie will get best revival so I question his judgment.

Uh, did you just read the top line? There are 3 lines, and the following 'experts' picked Kinky Boots:

Tom O'Neill
Paul Sheehan
David Sheward
Wayman Wong

Yes, a majority picked Matilda-but that is not a clean sweep. (The editors, if you just whittle it down to them, tilt towards Kinky Boots.)

I took 'a clean sweep' to mean that every single person picked it. (Which only happened in one category insofar as I could see.)
#14

Below each expert/editor's name is the list of nominated musicals with line #1 being what they think will win.

They all listed Matilda in the #1 (aka winning) slot.

joe-read again. There was only one category I saw where every single person picked one show/person and that was best featured actress in a musical. There were people as I listed who said otherwise for best musical. (I think, unfortunately, that Matilda will win and am willing to concede as much. However, I read the chart three times and saw a few people who thought otherwise.)

All six picked Matilda as their #1, so that's a clean sweep. They all picked Billy Porter, too.

I agree, though, this website is horrible to navigate through.

Oh So NOW you people listen to what these experts say???? but months ago when i gave you people this site you called it stupid. WHATEVER WHATEVER I DO WHAT I WANT.

Ok. I defer. I think the person who designed this page needs to be fired. I was rerouted to the nominations page. This site really sucks.

It is very hard to read.

I would be curious to see their predictions for score, book, and choreography.

Okay, obviously I can't even figure out what I'm looking at. I give up on this site. It sucks.
