Will Come From Away even be eligible in 2019?! Yeah it will be, it opens very late January and the cut off is the end of February 😊

I think it will be a crying shame if Jamie Muscato doesn’t get nominated (and win, in my opinion) but I fear that Heathers will just be dismissed out of hand.
There definitely seems to be far more award-worthy leading female roles than male in this season’s musicals.

Though I would argue the only nominations it truly deserves it Jodie and Jamie, and I could see them being spoiler nominations for sure. Carrie won't be nominated, she has a grest performance but it's a stacked catagory.

Well, I agree, if Heathers is to get any nomination, Jamie Muscato should be the one getting it, and maybe CHF.

Can the actress playing Emmie at Caroline, or Change be a challenge to LuPone?

If you mean the woman in Company who strutted about a bit and who was the only one whose words I couldn’t understand, then by all means someone else.

I don't think Caroline will get anything other than Sharon, and even she is on rocky ground with a stacked catagory that Rosalie will win.

I'm intrigued by the three other musical acting races, simply because there doesn't even seem to be that many obvious nominees bar Patti LuPone, Jonathan Bailey and Ruthie Ann Miles (pending whether she is eligable or not!). I personally want to see Richard Fleeshman be nominated for Company too, he would be a thoroughly deserving nominee and I could see it happening too given the lack of other worthy nominees.

For the 2020 awards, there will be some slight changes to two categories. The Best Family and Entertainment category will be split to create Best Entertainment or Comedy Play, and Best Family Show. Best Original Score or New Orchestrations will replace Outstanding Achievement in Music.

I love these kind of years where there isn't a Harry Potter or a Hamilton that we just know is going to get every nomination and win every award. It'll make it more fun and exciting to watch.

I have to disagree with all the pro JB comments re Company and the Oliviers. His performance was very pantomimic when I saw the show a couple of weeks ago and to be honest, NGMT goes down so well because of the camp staging with the female priest and various surprise appearances. I also thought Mr Fleeshman gave quite a caricatured performance, he sounded like Bert/Ernie from Sesame St. IMHO I don’t think you deserve an Olivier nod because of a nice bod. I saw all the new musicals this year (apart from Tina, which I refused to pay such exorbitant prices for) and thought there were some terrific supporting performances that were less stagey and might attract Olivier attention. Guess we’ll see at the beginning of March. Here’s my list of eligible musicals with both Come From Away and Only Fools and Horses just sneaking in before the deadline. Chicago Phoenix Theatre Chess London Coliseum Come From Away Phoenix Theatre Company Gielgud Theatre The King And I London Palladium Kiss Me Kate London Coliseum Little Shop of Horrors. Open Air Theatre, Regent’s Park Fun Home Young Vic Strictly Ballroom Piccadilly Theatre Sylvia Old Vic Theatre Tina the Musical Aldwych Theatre Hadestown Natonal Theatre Caroline Or Change. Playhouse Theatre Twelfth Night Young Vic Only Fools and Horses TR Haymarket

I can understand why some don't enjoy Richard or Jonathans performances in Company, but at this point I'd be very surprised if at least one of them don't get nominated, especially as both got great reviews and most audience's seem to love them.
For me, it seems obvious Company will get the most nominations of the year. Taking everyone's personal feelings aside, I fully expect and imagine it will get nominations for:
Best Musical Revival Best Actress in a Musical (Rosalie) Best Supporting Actor in a Musical (Jonathan and/or Richard) Best Supporting Actress in a Musical (Patti) Best Director Best Set Design
If it goes into a sweep, it could also nab nominations in Lighting, Choreography and Outstanding Achievement in Music.

Jonathan over Richard for me but again I think there were subtler performances in other musicals equally worthy of a nomination but maybe less flamboyant.

You know who is gonna be robbed of a nomination because of the theatre it's in but she really should win it? Caroline O'Connor in The Rink. I love all these ladies who are gonna be nominated and love Rosalie, the eventual winner I think, in Company so much, but Caroline was amazing and it's a real shame it wasn't in a West End house.

Joanna Riding is much beloved by the Olivier Awards and she's about to step into a legendary role. If she gets good reviews she might even get a nod.

I don't know if this production of Follies is eligible as it's the exact same production just with a very slight cast change? She'll have to be truly outstanding to get the nod, as she did when taking over the role in My Fair Lady and winning. It's possible, but in such a competitive year for Actress in a Musical, I don't think it's going to happen for her.

Arts is Affiliate While Six played the Arts last January 2018 - I don't think it had enough performances then.

With Fiddler transfer, does it mean than Andy Nyman will win Best Actor in a Musical? He's brilliant in it and there's basically no competition.

And sadly, unless it extends, he will likely get a nomination because it is that kind of role, but it's too early to call considering he will be up against both Charlie Stemp and whoever plays Evan Hansen.

I think Rosalie Craig will win but as others have said that’ll be more down to how well loved and we’ll received Company has been. Sure she’s really good in the show, but personally I think Adrienne Warren is more deserving. Any other year and I think she’d probably be sweeping all the awards. I didn’t see The King And I so can’t comment on Kelli O’Hara, but sounds like she was wonderful too

My two favourite performances by actors in musicals were Zubin Varla in Fun Home and Stephen Matthews in Strictly Ballroom. The former was so detailed and complex, whilst the latter was underplayed and heartbreaking. I hope both these performers get a nod aside from the actors in Company.

It was as classy as a really classy thing.

I think Rosalie will win, I'd be shocked if she didn't actually. Because not only was she great in the show, but it is a total reinvention of a role, she's onstage the whole time, and got rave reviews. I think if there is a threat at all it will be Adrienne because from what I've heard she is the reason to see that show so they will only honour Tina with that.

Rosalie is a bit one-note all the way through, Adrienne throws everything including two kitchen sinks at it.

I really didn't think Rosalie's performance was anything particularly special, and Company will obviously be rewarded in other categories.

Having raved about Come From Away, if it’s eligible, I’d live Cat Simmons to get Best Supporting Actress, if they decided to give individual acting nominations
