Unless there ends up being a close race between two shows in the nominating process within 3 votes or less, there will only be three nominees.
Oh, my mistake! Hard to say which show I'd cut, then... hmm...
Hopefully, there will be a tie in the nominating process, so that they could expand the numbers. But why don't you have Denee Benton getting in?
Very true! And while I thought Benton was wonderful as Natasha and adore Comet, I'm not sure I see her performance as competitive enough for the others I've listed.
Corbin Bleu? Andrew Rannells?
I guess, yeah!

Saw The Price over the weekend. Danny DeVito is the front runner for featured actor.

Ooh, that's great to hear, neon!
I also saw Sunset Boulevard this past week and would be deeply disappointed if Fred Johanson didn't get a Featured Actor in a Musical nomination.
Somebody wrote a rave for Cobie Smulders in the Present Laughter thread... is her role one that could score her a Featured Actress in a Play nomination?

Brandon Uranowitz is also a strong contender for Featured Actor for FALSETTOS. I'd wager he has more of a chance for a nomination than Rannells.

I adore Rannells but agree with this 100%. Brandon and Stephanie J Block were the real (and maybe unexpected/underestimated) standouts in Falsettos. She deserves a nom as well. As much as I love Christian Borle, too, I don't think this was a Tony performance for him. Eager to see him in Charlie.

Yeah, besides Stephanie J Block's rendition of "I'm Breaking Down", I felt that there wasn't a true stand-out performance. I absolutely LOVED the show, though-- the entire cast's dynamic, and their relationship developments, were outstanding. Some really, really good work. But for me, it's a case of the sum being greater than its parts.

The show will have been closed for a bit, but I'd love to see Michael Potts get a well-deserved nomination for Jitney. That whole cast is great, but he's a real standout.

I'm hoping that Jefferson Mays gets a supporting actor nomination from The Front Page - he was so excellent in it and has stuck out to me in the last few months.

Mays is likely to be nominated for Oslo, though.

I also completely agree with this. I though Uranowitz was excellent and in complete command of the stage!

Will DPH be leading or featured?
Way too early 2017 Tony predictions#365
Posted: 3/21/17 at 5:21pm
I think Lead would be more likely so that there wouldn't be the risk of a vote split between Creel and Pierce.

Super random question, but does anybody have any thoughts/predictions on who might receive a Special Tony Award this season?

Is it too early to give it to Danny Burstein? Cos if not, then Danny Burstein.

If Danny Burstein (not Bernstein) ends up doing My Fair Lady next year, it should be interesting to see whether or not he can break his losing streak.

He'd be my number two pick to be nominated for Jitney, behind John Douglas Thompson. I loved his Becker, especially in the final scene of Act 1. He anchored that ensemble so beautifully, too.
