I think no one at this point because these shows haven't officially opened yet with the exception of Xanadu (and Grease is on Broadway but still in previews). It's fun to speculate possible nominees, but it's pretty difficult to predict who may actually win.

Jenna Russel. If SITPWG is well recieved (which I think it will be) I think she has a great chance of winning.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

For the 4000th time, Sutton is going to be considered Featured.

And Laura Osnes is on stage for 10 minutes.

I'm sure there will more choices and some suprises by then...
Who's the Female Lead in IN THE HEIGHTS?

You're leaving out plenty of other actresses for other revivals/shows but I think that Jenna Russell definitely has a big chance of winning. I hope the faint rumors that Jane Krakowski (who won an Olivier for GUYS & DOLLS and oddly enough was Russell's co-star in that show) will be reprising her role as Miss Adelaide are true, she'd make for some fierce competition.

If the cast remains the same (it hasn't been officially announced yet), Mandy Gonzalez would be the lead actress in IN THE HEIGHTS.

CPD, did you see it Off-Broadway?

No?

Then how could you "see" this transfer?

please let kerry butler get a nomination. she's been cheated too many times.

honestly, i'll be surprised if Laura Osnes gets a nomination. I like her, but something tells me her reality show win is going to hurt her.

Osnes will not be nominated. It will probably look something like:
Faith Prince, A CATERED AFFAIR
Patti LuPone, GYPSY
Kelli O'Hara, SOUTH PACIFIC
Jenna Russell, SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE
Megan Mullally, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
With Sierra Boggess being a possible contender for LITTLE MERMAID, depending on the show's reception in the theater community.
Also, if PAL JOEY opens this season, it is probable that whoever plays Vera garners a nod.

Most likely between Prince and Russell, but it really seems to be Prince's year.

I think Jenna Russell will win. Her reviews in England were amazing and she's won everything else for this role in London. I love her on the recording, although I find the recording itself slow at times and tedious.

I could see Patti getting bumped out by a newcomer.

I hear Mullally is just fantastic in Young Frankenstein.

I doubt she has a shot up against Broadway regulars in more acclaimed works.
