Way too early 2017 Tony predictions — Page 31

It was definitely a weaker season and I agree with Scarlet Leigh that if Anastasia does get a Best Musical nomination, it will likely be the 5th spot. 

However, Aladdin being the better show is just an opinion. I personally enjoyed Anastasia far more and Anastasia's critic score on Show-Score is only one point lower than Aladdin.

I just do believe there is a path for Anastasia. If Aladdin can get nominated over The Bridges of Madison County, then I think Anastasia can get nominated over Bandstand or War Paint.

Best Choreography question: In a constantly-moving show like Come From Away, what constitutes direction and what constitutes choreography? They obviously worked hand in hand, but from a Tony perspective, what's the difference? (Is the show sung-through? I loved it, but I honestly can't remember. It felt like it was.)

Edited to add a second nominations question: Is there protocol in place of a three way tie? Like, with Leading Actress in a Musical, let's say the overwhelming majority pick Midler, LuPone, and Ebersole. The next majority pick Benton. Then there's an exact (or near) tie between Osnes, Altomare, and Noblezada for the 5th spot. Does it go to 7 nominees? Follow-up question: Is there a place to read all of these rules? I found the rules & regulations pdf through the official Tonys site, and it has a lot, but unless I missed it, nothing about the nominations process itself in terms of ties, eligible number of nominees, etc. I'm just curious about the process - I'm not in the business.

This article from Time Out New York totally tricked me.  I seriously thought these were the real Tony noms since I forgot Time Out New York calls itself TONY smh. I actually spent the better part of the day wondering why this wasn't being covered on BWW.  Incidentally, I was excited that Cornelius and Barnaby got "Tony" nominations.  Oh well.
