What Tony Upset Are You Hoping For?

While a number of big categories seem up in the air this year (Best Musical particularly), there are still nominees who are more likely to win than others. But which dark horses would you be thrilled to see take home a Tony on Sunday?


"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

As long as Kara Young gets her Tony, I could give fork-all who else gets theirs.

If the Merrily Trio doesn't win, that would be a huge shock in my opinion.

Also, I am rooting for Stereophonic to win Score. 


The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

Illinoise for Best Musical

Whitney White for Best Direction of a Play

Brian d’Arcy James

Kelli or Maryann

I don’t know who’s favored to win, but if Illinoise wins Orchestrations, I’ll be fine with any other outcome in any category.

Would still love for Purlie to win revival. Appropriate was excellent and isn't a bad winner by any means, but there was something special about that production of Purlie that made it even better.

#13

What Tony Upset Are You Hoping For?

Illinois - Best New Musical

Bebe Neuwirth - Supporting (Nothing against Mendez, I was just particularly moved by Bebe.)

Kelli O'Hara 

Kara Young  

Not sure if either of the above would even be considered upsets at this point.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I hope Bebe wins.

I didn't see Cabaret but when I paid full price to see Merrily Lindsey was out so I can't root for her.

My hope is that Eden, Amber, Riccardo Hernández and Peter Nigrini all win for Lempicka. Now that would be an upset.

I'd like to think Jonathan Groff would be thrilled to lose a Tony to Brian D'Arcy James finally getting his due :)

Brody Grant, Kecia Lewis, William Jackson Harper.

Illinoise or Outsiders for Best Musical. (Don’t know if that’s really an upset in such an open category.)

I paid full price twice and she was out both times.  I am actively rooting against her.

“I attended Gypsy last night with several family members that are staying at the same hotel . I walked them to the elevators and as I was leaving, Audra came in fast and this disgusting, huge, ogre of a man came blasting through the revolving door, nearly falling. He got extremely close to her, shoved a playbill in her face and said "I came alllll the way from Houston so you OWE me an autograph sister". Four security guards from the hotel staff immediately swarmed him until the cops arrived. It was horrifying and women have experienced this kind of illegal, terrifying behavior forever. If you were followed back to where you were staying in the city OP, pretty sure you wouldn't call it "foolery" because it's not. It's felony stalking. Do better. And I will NEVER be quiet regarding women's safety (especially by loser men in this thread) as this has happened to me and millions of other women as well. Enough..” —-Sutton Ross, 8/16/25 “Pretty incredible coincidence that the night before this post was made, Sutton was allegedly not only at Gypsy, but ended up at the same hotel, managed to witness an incident that perfectly aligns with the topic at hand, stayed long enough to see how it resolved despite being with family members, and it wasn’t even the first thing she replied to this thread with- she only brought it up after she had been challenged by multiple members. ” — Kad, 8/16/25
