I WOULD LOVE THIS! But, alas, this year's TONY HOST is Ariana Debose again.

They added new songs to NYNY to flesh it out into a proper musical (which the film is not) and serve the story.

I don't know the percentage breakdown for the score of NYNY, or the percentage of new material needed for a score to qualify, but the NYT said six songs are by LMM & JK, a few are by Kander alone, and the rest are by K&E.

I’d be very happy with Ariana hosting again. I hope she comes up with something as good as the BAFTA’s

When was the last time a Tonys host never actually appeared on Broadway? It's only a matter of time for Mulvaney -- she's so talented and is building up a following -- but can't imagine the Tonys would put someone front & center whose main cred is very online TikTokers, who most of the general/ticketbuying public has still never heard of.Hosting the red carpet or a backstage cam would be a different story!

Jinkx could be a great cohost alongside someone else.

Still surprised CBS hasn't roped Colbert into hosting."

Mulvaney was in Book of Mormon national tour though! (and is an alum of my school, go bearcats!)

The American Theatre Wing doesn't have a set rule, but generally, any show with more that 50% new music is in the clear. If the trunk songs by K&E that have never been perfomed before count, would that get the score over the threshold?

No April Fool's Joke. I guess its a scoop it has not been announced so enjoy...usually I am correct.

I don't know, I haven't seen the show or a songlist. But some revised lyrics to existing songs could help their case too.

If anyone who's seen it can provide/annotate the songlist, that would be interesting to see!
