Way Too Early 2019 Tony Predictions thread — Page 3

I think that it will be Patrick and Amber in supporting and whoever plays Eurydice and Orpheus as leading. Hades and Persephone are big, meaty roles for supporting and they should be locks for at least a nomination (and win depending on competition) in both of those. Likewise, Orpheus and Eurydice always struck me as fairly small 'leading' roles, comparatively, such as Pierre in Great Comet as opposed to an Elle Woods or Evan Hansen who has to carry the show.

Right now I could easily see them getting best musical, book, score, orchestrations, supporting actor and actress

Scenic, choreo, and costumes to Moulin Rouge is pretty much a lock.

I am a little worried, however, that at this point Hadestown will delay their transfer again. It's not like they haven't done it before. I can't get excited till we have a set date.

If Ain’t Too Proud opens in the spring, which I think it will, I would not count it out by any means I saw it DC and it’s 2:20 of great entertainment. It broke every record at Berkeley Rep and I think the run at The Kennedy Center was pretty much sold out as well. We’ll know more after we see the critical response when it opens in LA on Tuesday (Aug. 21)

with new data track TONY voter system this year, if one doesn't see EVERY show in a category that has been nominated - no get to voteeee. So folks be racing to BITB. I think it'll do just fine cuzza that.

I was going to say Salazar as well. I think they could get Best Musical/Book/Score, depending on the competition. Orchestrations and maybe Direction as well

I think it's going to be Tootsie vs. Moulin Rogue / Kiss Me Kate vs. Dreamgirls at the Tonys

Says the same person who has heaped copious amounts of praise on Girl From the North Country, which hasn't even announced a transfer, despite the rumors. And besides, what if Tootsie turns out like Pretty Woman? I'm not saying it will, but what if it turned out to not be this super amazing thing that everyone is hoping it will be? David Yazbek and Scott Ellis are sort of the guiding light for that show, but still...

We shouldn't assume things based on our sole opinions! I mean, this is the same board that thought that Great Comet would sweep, and then got the last word in by constantly bringing up the entire "what if ___ and ___ had transferred this season" bullcrap from this past season!

In my opinion, it's okay to have reservations on certain musicals. Take an earlier poster from this thread. Just because you liked the movie does not mean it will transfer to a worthy musical adaptation (see: 9 to 5, Rocky, most of the Disney shows, Ghost, etc.)

P.S. This isn't me being pessimistic; more or less, it's me pointing out that a lot of posters on these boards always feel the need to be a little 'facetious' whenever they post.

Isn’t it past your bedtime?
