Way too early 2017 Tony predictions — Page 6

There's good word about Groban's take on Pierre in The Great Comet thread. I'd keep him a strong contender for Best Supporting role (or would they try to justify him being lead since he got top billing?).

He and Denee Benton are prominently billed over the title. There is no way either would be lobbied as supporting (heck they even beefed up the role for Groban).

Sunset Boulevard ("confirmed" but no dates yet; musical revival) - I thought the January 2017 date was "confirmed" in the announcement article?

The Best Play category is just dire.

Anyone know which season holds the record for most new musicals?  This one mus be getting close.

Y'all, April gon' be CRAY.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is presumably off for this season because of a lack of theatres. This freed up Derek Hough to do DWTS this season.

I know that was posted before Indecent was announced, but even so, with Heisenberg, Significant Other, and Oslo, I think it's a pretty solid year actually! And my guess on nominees will be those three plus Indecent. Maybe A Doll's House Part 2 will get raves and get in, but I'm letting my personal dislike of Hnath's work to prevent me from predicting it. :)

 

Play Revival, on the other hand, I'm finding pretty bleak. With The Cherry Orchard terrible, The Front Page meh, Liasons...fine, not being excited at all for this Menagerie, and hating Present Laughter, I'm leaning heavily on my hopes for Jitney, Six Degrees, and The Little Foxes. Let the Spring revivals be better than Fall! 

 

Best Musical is going to be nuts. My extremely early guesses: Dear Evan Hansen, Great Comet, Groundhog Day, Anastasia (with War Paint on the bubble)

"Best Musical is going to be nuts. My extremely early guesses: Dear Evan Hansen, Great Comet, Groundhog Day, Anastasia (with War Paint on the bubble)"

I think that if Amelie opens in the spring as I expect, it will replace one of the above (and not DEH or Comet)

I hope Oh, Hello gets some recognition come Tony time!  It is pure joy.
