Since everyone is already predicting Hamilton for Best Musical, I wanted to hear who will win all of the other big awards in a year (or if you can't predict the future, your best guess) Clearly it won't be too accurate since I'm sure many more shows will announce runs later on, but it'll be fun to look back on later and see how wrong we were!

Hamilton will win everything in every category.

Since Kelli O'Hara finally won her long-awaited Tony Award last night, could Danny Burstein win his next year?
Posted: 6/8/15 at 11:38am
I don't know, a year is a long time for Hamilton to loose steam.

I'm looking forward to the Best Actress in a musical race. Lea Salonga, Phillipa Soo, Whoever is in Dames at Sea, Cynthia Erivo, whoever is in Tuck Everlasting, Laura Benanti, and of course Audra. I personally would love to see Lea win it.

Hamilton's going to split the vote. The kid from Falsettos will completely choke during "I'm a Jew or Whatever" and the Tonyses committee will retroactively give Sydney Lucas a Tony. Jane Lynch, the star of CBS's single camera breakout comedy hit Angel from Hell will KILL in her opening number. A special preview of the upcoming Cats revival backed by the kids from School of Rock will take up 18 minutes of airtime which will necessitate the skipping of best musical revival award.

Don't forget Samantha Barks and Jessie Mueller (if their respective shows end up coming in next season).

I recognize that these predictions have essentially no merit, which is why "way too early" is included in the title. This is purely for fun.
Posted: 6/8/15 at 11:44am
Which is why it's called a discussion board.
No one is forcing anyone to participate in a thread they think is silly.

Barks recently led the workshop of Amelie.

.... And irrelevant?

I don't know if Tuck Everlasting is going to get much. Something tells me it may not do too great. But, like the title says, this is way too early to be making real predictions.

I'm rooting for Terrence Mann to FINALLY win a tony for Tuck!!
Posted: 7/4/15 at 9:02pm
Personally, I thought Hamilton was overrated. I saw an early preview, so things may have changed. Will be seeing it again in a few weeks to see the changes made.
Posted: 7/4/15 at 9:28pm
Jerry Mitchell isn't even doing the choreo for On Your Feet

Wouldn't Andrew Keenan Bolger be considered for LEADING actor for Tuck Everlasting though?
Posted: 7/4/15 at 11:59pm
Side note: If Terrence Mann wins for Tuck Everlasting (which I would be very pleased with), Casey Nicholaw will have had the Best Featured Actor in a Musical category on lock for the past three years (Iglehart, Borle, and hopefully Mann).

I know it's not consecutive, but 2011- Rory O' Malley for Book of Mormon too!
Posted: 7/5/15 at 12:21am
Rory didn't win. It was Nikki who won.
Posted: 7/5/15 at 12:43am
"Rory didn't win. It was Nikki who won."
Wow my mistake!! I have no idea why but I thought they both one for some reason! Sorry about that!
