It should be noted, there is apparently a rule where only two performances at most can be nominated per production. So if there is a third performer you think is missing, that's why. Because, with Hamilton for example, Lin and Daveed were nominated twice (which is a stupid rule, but that's another issue), but if it was open to more than two, you know most of the cast would of been nominated because of the hype Hamilton had.

Well, I think one thing is clear this year. Elaine May will win all the awards for her amazing performance in The Waverly Gallery.

I assumed Glenda Jackson would win everything for King Lear? Though she did win last year so maybe it's not in the cards for her, though not unusual as we saw with Laurie Metcalf winning consecutively.

Though she did win last year so maybe it's not in the cards for her, though not unusual as we saw with Laurie Metcalf winning consecutively. I saw Ms. Jackson as King Lear at the Old Vic a few years ago. She was great, and the production, directed by Deborah Warner, was good. I don't know why they didn't bring Warner over to recreate that production, because Sam Gold's New York production has been almost universally panned, which has tainted almost everything about the show. Jackson did get good reviews for her performance, but the fact that the whole production is a mess will probably affect the voters. But the bottom line is that Elaine May's performance was hailed as a really brilliant performance of a lifetime, so I think she will win.

I just got back from my America trip and I saw most of the shows that will probably be nominated for the Tonys.
Best Musical: It is going to be a tossup between Hadestown, Tootsie, and The Prom. Honestly, I can see all three of them winning, but it will probably be between Tootsie and Hadestown. Tootsie is on the same level as Groundhog Day as it is a true adaptation of a movie by keeping the same plot of the movie but it is not the movie on stage. It is a real feel good time with great performances by Santino Fontana and Sarah Stiles and David Yazbek's music and lyrics are a complete 180 from The Bands Visit. Hadestown has the momentum right now and most of the critics seemed to like it. I thought Hadestown was a good night out but it is not a great masterpiece of theatre that the stans claim it to be. Another strike for Hadestown is that it came from the NT. Tony voters, especially the older ones, don't usually give a lot of love to British musicals following the mega-musicals of the 1980s. The Will Rogers Follies won over Miss Siagon and Kinky Boots sweep over Matilda are the two biggest examples. Even though Hadestown is an American Musical, the production transfer from the National Theatre might rub some Tony Voters the wrong way. But, a positive for Hadestown is the last four best musicals have all started either off-broadway or a non-profit theatre company. I would give Ain't Too Proud the four slot for Best Musical but, the nomination is the win for them. If I was a tony voter, I would vote for Tootsie because it was just such a fun show.
Best Actress: Queen Stephanie J. Block for The Cher Show. It's not going to be a competition. Beth Level, Eva Noblezada, and Rebecca Naomi Jones will round out the category.
Best Actor: I think it's going to Santino Fontana. He gives a great performance in Tootsie and how he is able to change from a woman to a man in such a short time period is amazing. The two Oklahoma leads will probably cancel each other out. (Is Jud a lead role? I think it is.) The fourth slot will most likely be Brooks Ashmanskas of The Prom, but I can see Reeve Carney getting the last slot as well.
Best Supporting Actress: This one is a hard one. Sarah Stiles, Ali Stroker, and Amber Gray all give steller performances. The award is out for grabs on this one. I'm going to give the slightest edge to Ali Stroker for her number, "I Cain't Say No" but I can see the other two woman winning and I don't have a problem with that.
Best Supporting Actor: I hope Christopher Sieber finally gets some Tony love, he is a true journey man. The Hadestown men will cancel each other out and Rob McClure's nomination is a win for Beetlejuice.
Best Music and Lyrics: Either Hadestown or Tootsie.
Best Book: Tootsie or The Prom
Best Director: Rachel Chavkin
Best Sets and Lighting: The Beetlejuice house will win. King Kong is impressive but only win the puppet is on stage, the rest of the show is projection scenes.
*I'm going off the National Theatre production of Hadestown, I didn't see it on Broadway.

Hadestown didn't exactly *come* from the NT, it was just one of many stops on its way to Broadway.

I wonder if it will get a special award? see I'd argue that the puppet isn't Set and shouldn't be considered as such. But it is amazing so you're right, maybe a special award in that instance would be worth considering.

I've had The Prom working it's way up my list slowly as the one to win. It seems so fun and heartfelt, and I think alot of people appear to be loving it. I could well see it being the eventual winner if it can get past Hadestown.

I could well see it being the eventual winner if it can get past Hadestown. Much like last year though, I can see voters going for the more “artsy” show in Hadestown like with The Bands Visit (which I found truly awful), than the “fun” show in The Prom (haven’t seen Tootsie). Hadestown I found very mediocre, wheras Prom was just pure joy from beginning to end.

• Puppet designer and builder Sonny Tilders and the Creature Technology Company
• Scenic designer Peter England, who collaborated on the aesthetics of the puppet
• Aerial and movement director Gavin Robbins
• The members of the King's Company, who move Kong on stage: Mike Baerga, Rhaamell Burke-Missouri, Jōvan Dansberry, Casey Garvin, Gabriel Hyman, Marty Lawson, Roberto Olvera, Khadija Tariyan, Lauren Yalango-Grant, and David Yijae
• Kong's Voodoo Operators, who control his facial expressions: Jon Hoche, Danny Miller and Jacob Williams.
The York Theatre Company (James Morgan, Producing Artistic Director; Evans Haile, Executive Director), in recognition of 50 years of producing new musicals, as well as classics from the past
PLEASE NOTE:
This season's early production of The Boys in the Band was not eligible for Outer Critics Circle Awards because the production did not accommodate the nominators, due to the limited ticket availability and limited run of the show.
Only new elements of Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song were considered for its Broadway transfer.
Per the petitioning of its producers, the Broadway production of Hadestown was considered in all musical-related categories due to substantial changes in its book, score, and production.

Surprised Head Over Heels got two nominations including Best Musical! it got four nominations! I've read several predicting that with the Musical performance catagories, three of them are a bit interchangable in terms of performers, but Featured Actress is pretty much what to expect come nominations announcement.

Michael Urie wasn't eligible as that production was eligible for its Off-Broadway run so only new elements were considered, which unfortunately meant that backfired on Urie as he wasn't nominated last time around either.

See it all gets confusing with the Off and On Broadway mularkey, it also makes predicting the eventual Tony nominees harder. The Drama Desk Awards wont help that distinction either.

Pretty Woman is a big loser of the awards season so far with no nominations. Some on the BWW boards are predicting it might close in the next few months because it’s box office receipts have dropped a lot since last year but we’ll see. I wonder if that may affect a potential West End move

I wonder if that may affect a potential West End move it's doing fine at the moment in the box office, the issue is tho, literally every week last year other than the first where they did two performances, they took over a million every week so there is no where to go but down. I'm impressed it's done as well as it had, I thoroughly thought this would be a movie musical adaptation flop. 😂

The final precursor award nominations are out, the Drama Desk Awards:
This year, when determining the eligibility of the Broadway productions of “Hadestown,” “Torch Song” and “Choir Boy,” all of which had recent off-Broadway runs in previous seasons, the Drama Desk nominating committee chose to only consider “those elements that constituted new work.”
The productions of “Be More Chill,” “What the Constitution Means to Me,” “Oklahoma!” and “The New One” all had off-Broadway and Broadway runs in the same season. In those cases, both productions were considered together for the Drama Desk nominations.
Special awards will be given out to the ensemble of “Dance Nation, to costume designer Montana Levi Blanco, actor Mia Katigba and to theater company Repertorio Español.
As with the Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards, the “Boys in the Band” did not provide tickets to Drama Desk nominators, due to limited ticket supply, and thus was not eligible for consideration.

Sam Norkin Award: To Montana Levi Blanco, who enriched this season with his vibrant and detailed costumes for Fairview, The House That Will Not Stand, Fabulation, Or the Re-Education of Undine, Eddie and Dave, “Daddy,” and Ain’t No Mo’. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a Blanco costume is worth considerably more, telling us a complete story about its wearer while giving us something fabulous to look at.
To Mia Katigbak, the backbone of the off-Broadway scene, we acclaim her for her performances this season in Henry VI: Shakespeare’s Trilogy in Two Parts, The Trial of the Catonsville Nine, Peace for Mary Francis and Recent Alien Abductions. This award also recognizes her vital presence as the artistic director of NAATCO and her sustained excellence as a performer and mentor.
To Repertorio Español for presenting a year-round rotating repertory of new and classic Spanish-language plays in its intimate Gramercy venue. For the past 51 years, Repertorio has been an indispensable theater for Spanish-speaking audiences, while inviting non-Spanish-speaking theatergoers to discover the delights of the Spanish-language canon and introducing New York audiences to the work of actors like Zulema Clares and Germán Jaramillo.

Interesting notes:
No Pretty Woman once again, it's award show chances are done.
Kelli O'Hara snubbed.
No Mockingbird.
Stephanie appears to be the popular choice for Actress in a Musical and it's worth noting, bizzarly, if she gets the Tony nomination (which she will) this is the first time ever she's been nominated for all four major awards in America for the one role.
Oh, and Actor in a Play, not a SINGLE performance that has been on Broadway, all are Off-Broadway which is pretty insane.

No Ink either.
Bryan Cranston is missing as well.
Rachel Chavkin’s nomination is confusing. She has been with Hadestown since the Off-Broadway run so shouldn’t she be eligible? Did she change so many elements from the Off-Broadway run that it’s considered a new piece of work? Wouldn’t that make Hadestown a rivival in the Drama Desk eyes?
Sorry guys, I’m really overthinking it.
