I think the big winners will be Hadestown, Samantha Barks, and Santino Fontana.

Have you seen Pretty Woman? The show may be overall weak but Samantha was SENSATIONAL and multiple reviews, and members of this board have said so. Samantha WILL get a nomination, and I wouldn't be surprised if she won.

I think that Kelli O'Hara is going to get nominated on her name alone, but I think that Samantha will have stiff competition from Stephanie J Block specifically, and if Dreamgirls comes in Amber Riley will surely be nominated. I see The Cher Show at the end of June and I can't wait to report back on that one.

God, I hope Tootsie transfers in the spring. I'm dying to see Santino in that role.
I think this will be a Moulin Rouge vs. Hadestown season, in terms of musicals.
For plays, I think The Ferryman will take a lot, though I'm curious how strong a competitor Mockingbird will be.
Posted: 5/20/18 at 4:47pm
I feel like Mockingbird is going to be incredible, that cast, The Shubert, Rudin will certainly be making sure it is the best it can be.

That looks way worse than this years.

Yes, indeed. I think everybody is waiting eagerly for the Moulin Rouge!, Hadestown, and Tootsie transfer announcements for the season to get exciting. We're also in dire need of some more musical revivals!

I see Hadestown dominating next season however, I hope they transfer."

It is definitely transferring.

We also are expecting beetlejuice i believe!!
Posted: 5/20/18 at 8:12pm
Any news if Girl From the North Country is going to transfer? I know it is playing in Toronto from Feb to Mar. If it opens in time (like late April), I think it could be a contender for Best Musical.

"And the American Theatre Wing's Tony Award for Leading Actor in a Musical goes to...Patrick Page, HADESTOWN."
You heard it here first, folks!

How do you guys think the Head Over Heels cast will be categorized in the acting categories? Is it possible they will all be considered featured?
