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 Jenn Colella got nominated for all the major awards in America for Rachel Tucker's role, so I imagine there will be one or two performance nominations if it's as good as it sounds!

I feel like they are all lead roles though? I understand that Beverly/Rachel is the 'lead' of the show but actually she isn't really. I'm not entirely sure she has any more stage time or more of a starring role than any of the other cast members? t's very much an ensemble piece with all getting starring moments. She only has the one big solo and several of the others have big solo's too. I suppose you could say she is the lead though because she is the only one to play just two constant characters where as all the others play several different roles. It's a hard one. Who will be nominated for leads or supporting?

Who will be nominated for leads or supporting? Rachel's role is considered Supporting, or at least it was at all the awards in America. If I remember rightly, as the whole cast are listed below the title on Broadway, when the Tony Committee met to discuss the show, they decided to consider the entire cast as Supporting rather than move any of them up to lead. So I imagine the same will be done here. www.theatermania.com/broadway/news/tony-eligibility-come-from-away-sunset-boulevard_80641.html

What and who do we expect from the drama parts of the award, especially best play, actor and actress? The Inheritance will surely get many nods and awards, but what else is out there?

Best Play: The Inheritance, Sweat and Nine Night, maybe Home, I'm Darling or The Jungle. Actress: Sophie Okonedo, Patsy Ferran Actor: Ralph Fiennes, Kyle Soller Having seen 9 to 5 last night, I can see Bonnie Langford and/or Natalie McQueen being nominated for their performances.

I believe Sylvia is no longer eligible as during the run they declassified the show to a "workshop production" and on the site all performances were renamed previews. The show is meant to be reappearing this year so can see why they made this move to give the show a better chance. 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 wonder if, now that Jack McBrayer isn't getting the best reviews it seems for Waitress despite that role being a showstopper kind of role, does that make way for Jonathan Bailey to seal the deal as the winner of Supporting Actor in a Musical?

Remember, Waitress isn’t eligible this year! It will be the 2020 awards. I think Jonathan Bailey has a good shot, but it’s a really weak category this year to be honest. Can see Brian Conley being nominated also.

According to this the arts theatre is still eligable for main nominations, meaning Six can be nominated.

When do the nominations come out? Normally about a month before the awards, so first week of March seems likely

How many nominations does each category usually get?
I think the New Musical category is going to be a hard one to whittle down.
I'm not that bothered as long as CFA, Six and FH are in there.

Interesting that both Nine Night and Home, I'm Darling are up for Best New Comedy rather than Best New Play. Atleast it gives Nine Night a chance over The Inheritance.

Are there really only four productions eligible for New Comedy? And five for Musical Revival? Got to be gutting for the Musical Revival that doesn't get one of the nom slots.
My predictions: Revival: Summer and Smoke OR Wild Duck. New Play: Inheritance. Comedy: Nine Night. Musical: Six OR Come From Away. Musical Revival: Company.

New Musical Come From Away: Phoenix Theatre Fun Home: Young Vic Hadestown: National Theatre – Olivier Six: Arts Theatre
R.U.: Tina – The Tina Turner Musical: Aldwych Theatre

I think it'll be something like:
Musical Come From Away Fun Home Hadestown Six
Musical Revival Company The King and I ... and whilst I would guess Caroline, I have a feeling it could be Little Shop getting the last nomination.

What are the chances of Jamie Muscato getting a nom for Best Actor in a Musical? Just listening to the new Heathers cast recording, and Jamie is definitely the best thing about it. I also thought he was a highlight when I saw the show. I'm not sure if Heathers is a very Olivier type of show, and I'm not sure what that category is looking like atm, but I'd quite like to see him get a nomination.

In my opinion, that catagory isn't looking very lively at the moment. I too would like to see Jamiw get nominated, he was the best part of the show. Heathers will get shut out bar one or two nominations, it isn't deserving of any tech awards and one or two of the performances are worthy.

Who is this person (mentioned above)? I saw that glorious revival at the National and don't recall an actor of that name even in it. Nor is he mentioned on the website www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/shows/translations-2018Best Supporting Actor: Laurence Finlay (Translations)

Still sore Billie from Yerma has not been give the chance to get her tony I can’t see anyone else winning given all the Company accolades, although personally for me I’d like to see Adrienne Warren get it for Turner (which I know she won’t). I haven’t seen such a powerhouse performance in a long time, and I’m just amazed she’s been able to put her heart and soul into Tina like that 7 times a week for nearly a year. That’s some stamina, wow!

At least she should hopefully have more of a chance at the Tony Awards to be given the recognition she deserves.

It'll definitely be either of those two who eventually win. Rosalie has completely revived a role, is great in the show and got rave reviews. Adrienne puts everything in the show, got rave reviews and is playing a legend. I haven't seen Tina yet but I don't imagine it will get any nominations other than Adrienne and maybe one or two more, but if they want to give Tina anything, it'll be Adrienne's to lose. Rosalie has the downside of Company being as successful artistically and critically as it has. It definitely wouldn't be a "let's give her the award because Company won't get anything else". It'll likely be the show with the most nominations this year. It's a toss up, I wouldn't want to call it who will win.

I agree and it doesn't really deserve any other nominations either to be fair. Apart from Adrienne (who is terrific) it's a pretty rotten show. Rosalie will no doubt win because of the acclaim for 'Company' and she'll benefit from that. She's the weakest link in the cast but she is the lead and the whole gender switch of the show etc will be hard for the awards committee to ignore. The only thing we can hope is that Patti and Jonny B both win in the supporting categories and they won't want to give 3 of the 4 acting awards to the same show seeing as it will win in lots of the non-acting categories too.
