The Visit never had a New York run- Blackbird did off-broadway.

I think a lot of people are underestimating American Psycho. From a purely creative stand point and something unique I think this has a good shot at Musical, Score, Book, Design, lead actor and choreography.

lol I hope you mean a good shot at nominations for those categories.

I agree. It won't win, but from what I've seen and heard it also probably has a good shot at lighting and set design.
Who does everyone think will get nominated for Best Leading Actor in a Musical? Obviously Lin-Manuel Miranda, Danny Burstein, and Leslie Odom Jr. will, and also probably Alex Brightman, but who else? Zachary Levi? Benjamin Walker?

I say Burstein, Odom, Brightman, Walker, Levi. LMM's performance is fine but not up to their caliber.

I would be really surprised if Lin wasn't nominated. Besides the fact that he has a lot of goodwill towards him, I think he's giving an excellent performance. It may not be as explosive in the way that Leslie's is, but he's doing great work in that role and deserves the nomination.

What about Austin P Mckenzie for Melchior, in Spring Awakening revival?
And I'm surprised Mann (Tuck), and Porter/Mitchell (Shuffle Along) are not in your list of best actor nominations (I know, no one's seen their work yet but they are all getting top billing and are serious contenders given their history with Tonys)

Mann is an interesting possible nomination/win.
If he did win Nicholaw would have directed the Featured Actor in a Musical winner for the past three years.

Here are my thoughts on Lead Actor in a Musical:
Who’s In?:
Alex Brightman-School of Rock
Danny Burstein-Fiddler on the Roof
Lin-Manuel Miranda-Hamilton
Leslie Odom, Jr.-Hamilton
Who Could Join Them?:
Andrew Keenan-Bolger-Tuck Everlasting
Zachary Levi-She Loves Me
Benjamin Walker-American Psycho

Let's not forget Brian Stokes Mitchell and possibly Billy Porter (depending on category placement) in SHUFFLE ALONG.

Saw a run through today. They WILL be at the TONYS!

I very much doubt Spring Awakening will get that many nods. Closed shows don't normally get tony love, and this is a very strong season. If Shuffle Along gets pproved as a revival, I doubt SA will even be in the category.

I don't think American Psycho will make it in if Shuffle Along is billed as New

The one thing I know for a fact is that two incredible actresses of color will be taking home leading actress awards. Lupita WILL win leading actress in a play. Cynthia WILL win leading actress in a musical. I mean, these performances are legendary. I've seen both. Obviously Audra's performance will be beautiful and she's always a contender, but Cynthia deserves and earned this Tony award which she will absolutely be getting. If you haven't seen this show, get to the Jacobs and buy yourself a ticket. She is ethereal.

Kind of feel like School of Rock might get shut out.

Mann will not get a nomination for TUCK. It's not that type of role.

Hamilton across the board, no doubt!!

I still think Williams will get the Tony, but Nyong'o is a threat, and Lange is a big possibility.
Also, will Ronan get nominated?

Shuffle will be categorized by the administration committee as an original musical, not a revival.
