My guess is that it will go to Matilda.

It hasn't been announced yet, but it's a French transfer called La Derriere De Ma Mere, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, a new book by Kathie Lee Gifford, and English lyrics by Sasha Baron Cohen. It will star Mayim Bialik as "Ma Mere," and Jaleel White as "Ma Pere."
Oh - and Kaye Ballard as "Ma."

I hope it's Bombshell! But Hit Parade may take it!
Newintown, I would pay to see that show
Either The Nutty Professor, Into the Woods, Yank or Robin and the 7 Hoods. Fat Pig for Play. Funny Girl for Musical Revival and The Iceman Cometh for Play Revival.
In all seriousness, I can't remember the last time there was less of a question that it would be a particular show.
Edit: Except for that time there was The Book of Mormon. Forgive me, folks, it's been a long day.

Matilda. I don't see how any other show could take it. I predict a HUGE sweep - especially in the design categories.
Since CATS is now and forever, it is eligible every year and will take the Tony this year. :)
I think if not Matilda, it may go to Kinky Boots.
I am perpetually shocked that The Phantom of the Opera, which was so successful at the 1988 Tony's, has been shutout for 24 years running... here's hoping the 25th Anniversary boosts their chances!
