The thing about art is it's subject, so different people will respond to it in different ways - sometimes in polar opposite ways. I haven't seen Dear Evan Hansen yet (have tickets in May), but I have seen Comet and it did not make me emotional or make me think. I walked out feeling like I'd been at some sort of lounge/nightclub with rowdy patrons rather than a Broadway show. The only performers/characters who intrigued me were Lucas Steele and Amber Gray; I found the rest of it forgettable.

By way of comparison, Sunday in the Park with George, Groundhog Day, Miss Saigon, and Sunset Boulevard all made me think and feel.

That's just how art is.

It's going to be a tight race between Comet, Hansen, and Come From Away.

I find it weird that for the most part everyone has Comet taking home 4-6 of the 9 non acting catagories, and not being a contender for Best PRODUCTION of a new musical. Unless Hello Dolly Sweeps the technicals, I don't see a way in which Comet walks away with the most awards and still looses Best Musical.

Since 1990 the only there are 2 times the top award winner of the night did not Win best Musical or Revival. When Light in the Piazza won 6 awards but lost to Spamalot which won 3. Then again the following year when Drowsey Chaparone won 5 awards, but lost to Jersey Boys which won 4. (I am excluding 1999 when Swan Lake won the most awards but was not nominated for Best Musical or Revival).

Thus the only way I see Comet loosing is if Dear Evan Hansen wins Actor, Book, score, and Orchestations, or As previously stated Hello Dolly wining some of the technical awards.

There's absolutely precedent. In 2012, Peter and the Starcatcher swept the technical awards but lost Best Play to Clybourne Park, which didn't win anything else. Sure, there are less play categories in general, but it's 100% possible for Comet to walk away the overall winner and still lose Best Musical.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

To go against the grain:

Will win: Bette Midler

Should win: Christine Ebersole or Patti LuPone

I know this sounds ridiculous - and I absolutely loved Bette Midler in Hello Dolly. But let's face it, Bette's performance is an incredibly fun, larger-than-life comedic farce with some serviceable vocals. If there was a Tony award for best personality, most fun, best entrances, biggest event, best star casting etc.. - it should go to her. I don't think there is much she could have done to improve her performance. However, in terms of who the Tony should go to - there is barely a moment of her performance that can compare to the expressive, powerful, nuanced vocal and acting performance of Christine Ebersole singing "Pink" in War Paint.

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

"

The play categories are known to spread the wealth among the nominees. The difference with Peter and the Starcatcher's loss can be attributed to the absence of the Best Book of a Play category which was petitioned to come back because of plays like War Horse and Peter and the Starcatcher, which were not the best new plays "on paper" of their season by any means, but were the most innovative productions of plays in years.

Musical categories also often spread the wealth among the nominees. And as a more recent example, An American In Paris did very well in the creative categories (losing Costumes but winning Orchestrations and Choreo) and also lost to Fun Home. Fun Home did win one more award total, but the consensus before the ceremony was that it could have also lost Direction.

Your argument is that Comet will win Best Musical because the production is the strongest, but the point is that the votes often don't line up that way. No one obviously knows exactly why Fun Home won that year, but the general consensus was that it was a stronger piece of writing, at least compared to American in Paris. That's a comparison that could certainly be made between Dear Evan Hansen and Comet.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I don't know what is gonna win, but it is not going to be The Great Comet, even if it wins every technical award and director.

Looking back, the most extreme case I can remember was when Follies won 8 Tony Awards and ended up losing musical to 2 Gentlemen from Verona, which had only won 1 award up to musical.

Technical awards just don't carry the same weight as score / director / book / choreographer. Just like at the movies: Cabaret won 8 Oscars to Godfather's 2 Plus one for Best Picture. Mad Max won, I think, 7 Oscars to Spotlight's 2, which included Best Picture. Moonlight vs. La La Land. Those high counts are generally mostly technical awards...never influence the outcome.

You do not know that. It has a lot going for it: critical acclaim, success at the box office, a passionate fanbase, the most nominations (including book and score) etc.

The only thing it has against it is the fact that it has strong competition. Well, so do the other shows.

Listen, I think Great Comet should win Best Musical but I can accept that every aspect of DEH can come together for it to also deserve it.

HOWEVER if Rachel Chavkin loses Best Director, that will be an insult to the art of direction itself. Her staging cannot compare at all to any show that opened this season.

Have you seen Come From Away? The direction is masterful. The actors have to switch between characters constantly and it's always crystal clear. Plus keeping a story consistently moving powerfully the entire time is a daunting task.

"

I can totally respect that! I just made that point because, from what I've seen, TGC has been getting a lot of criticism from people on various threads saying it's unemotional and nothing more than a spectacle, and those people seem to act like absolutely no one would find any emotional value in it.

I mean, just from your examples – Groundhog Day was enjoyable but I didn't get emotional over it, I appreciate Sunday more from an artistic standpoint (the music and technical elements are my favorite parts of it) than an emotional one, I can't stand Sunset Boulevard, while Miss Saigon makes me weep like a baby. Like you said, all subjective.

The only difference is there's not legions of people saying that Miss Saigon is just a spectacle, and I must be lying if I cried at it (which has been happening with TGC), which is the point I was trying to make.

I loved Come From Away and thought the direction was great, but there are other directors who likely could have pulled it off. I'm not sure if I can think of anyone who could do what Rachel Chavkin does with Great Comet. It's astonishing work from an enormously talented and versatile director, and I can't imagine anyone else deserving the Tony more.

"

Yeah. Chavkin's direction was some of the most beautifully inventive work that I have ever seen on a Broadway stage. Her work is so gorgeously atmospheric. The staging of "No One Else" with the snow and vast emptiness of the theatre, creates such a beautiful aesthetic that it did legitimately make me cry due to the sheer beauty of her direction and Malloy's music. Groban may be Comet's "star", but the real star of that show is Chavkin and she absolutely deserves to win the Tony.
