There seems to be two types of people. The ones that say Noblezada and Benton, or the ones that say Altomare and Osnes for the last two spots.

Butter Broadway, count me in the middle of that! Thinking it will be Noblezada and Altomare!

I personally have Altomare and Benton, so I think I too would be in the middle of that then.

You obviously haven't seen great comet. Groban is fantastic!

As we've seen within the past two years, both lead acting in a musical categories were filled with nominees from productions that were nominated for Best Musical and/or Best Revival. So if The Great Comet does well on nomination morning, Denee Benton could likely go along for the ride. If Miss Saigon gets the third slot for Best Revival of a Musical (which I'm currently predicting), Eva Noblezada could go along for the ride as well. As for Christy Altomare, we shall see how Anastasia will end up being received by critics.

You've already made this point on like 5 threads. We get it.

Do you think that the Tonys may give an honorary award to Sunday in the Park with George? I haven't heard of this happening before, but I honestly haven't heard of a production dropping out of the running either.

Well, I apologize for beating this dead horse.

Altomare and Noblezada. Butter Broadway stop making generalizations on your new username of the week.

I mean, they certainly could in theory- the Tonys can give honorary awards to any person or production they like. But why would they for this particularly production? I was less enamored of it than many, to be fair, but I don't think there's anything about it is exemplary enough to merit a special award. It's a good production of an excellent musical, which isn't that unusual.

I wasn't so enamored of Sunday in the Park either, but I would totally give a special Tony to that Chromolume.

When was the last time there was a 3-way race for Best Musical?

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 2005 was the most competitive season in recent history (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Light in the Piazza, Spamalot, and Spelling Bee).

I believe you're correct, 2005 was an extremely suspenseful season.

Do you guys think Madison Ferris will be nominated for Featured Actress in a Play?

I agree with you, and I adore Comet. Nothing about her acting stood out to me at all, and I didn't like Sonya Alone - seems like they could have skipped 90% of it and not been any worse off

I believe that production will receive zero nominations.

The current "locks" for Featured Actress in a Play, in my opinion, are:
Jayne Houdyshell (A Doll's House, Part 2)
Cynthia Nixon (The Little Foxes)
Condola Rashad (A Doll's House, Part 2)
I'd also wager that Lindsay Mendez of Significant Other has an extremely strong shot at a nom. That leaves one last spot (again, just IMO).

What are people's thoughts about choreography? It's not a great season for dance.
A Bronx Tale, Bandstand, Hello Dolly, Holiday Inn?
Way too early 2017 Tony predictions#471

Hello, Dolly! seems like the obvious winner- although from the reports a lot of it is taken from the original.
Is A Bronx Tale that dance-heavy? I guess it could get in based on the weakness of the category, but I keep forgetting it's even playing. I'm biased because I love the show, but I really wouldn't be surprised to see Comet included- it isn't a giant dance show, but there's tons of movement and it has a showstopper in the middle of Act 2. Other shows have been nominated for less.

ANASTASIA and THE GREAT COMET are also worth noting.

At this point, my predictions for Best Choreography are:
Warren Carlyle-Hello, Dolly!
Kelly Devine-Come From Away
Peggy Hickey-Anastasia
Denis Jones-Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical
Sam Pinkleton-Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812
Does anyone think it's possible for Indecent to sneak in?

Realy? Come from Away for choreography? It's just a bunch of foot-stomping.
