Best musical Matilda Motown Kinky Boots Hands on a Hard Body
Best revival Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella The Mystery of Edwin Drood Pippin Annie **Sadly, I don't predict Jekyll & Hyde getting a nomination just because it's Wildhorn and will be DOA... I LOVED it, but I'm not expecting a lot of (if any) nominations**
Best Actress Matildas Patina Miller Laura Osnes Stephanie J Block Lilla Crawford or Deborah Cox or Carolee Carmello
That's all I can think of right now, and I'm sure I'm missing some.
"There’s nothing quite like the power and the passion of Broadway music. "
Best Actor in a Musical Adesola Osakalumi and Duain Richmond-Fela Anthony Warlow-Annie Rob McClure-Chaplin Bertie Carvel-Matilda the last could go to anyone.
This is gonna be one of the toughest categories I think
I did not think about Bring it On or A Christmas Story! I knew I was missing some. I am REALLY hoping Jekyll & Hyde gets some nominations - especially the three leads. I also think the costumes and lighting are deserving of a nod. I also hope William Ivey Long gets a nod for his costumes for Cinderella, and Anna Louizos gets recognized for her set designs for either DROOD of Cinderella!

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
