As we're now about two days away from the announcement of this year's Tony Award nominations, I thought now would be a good time to share what my predictions are. On this page, I’ll be discussing the musical categories.
Best Musical:
Since there are nine eligible candidates this year, there will automatically be five nominees. A sixth is possible, but only if there's a close race between two contenders within three votes. The four listed below have each been pretty well regarded by critics and audiences alike. They're all pretty much locks.
& Juliet
Kimberly Akimbo
Shucked
Some Like It Hot
But What About That Fifth Slot?: This is probably going to be the biggest head scratcher on nomination morning. For a while, many assumed it would go to New York, New York. It's a love letter to the Big Apple and has a highly respected creative team (such as director/choreographer Susan Stroman, composer John Kander, and additional lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda) behind it. Yet, as that show just opened to such a disappointing reception, it's probably vulnerable (unless nominators enjoyed it more than the critics did). Hard to tell which of the other four new musicals from this past season could sneak in. Almost Famous crashed and burned both critically and commercially back in the fall. Andrew Lloyd Webber's newest musical, Bad Cinderella, many think is (pun intended) bad. A Beautiful Noise was no critical hit, but baby boomers have been enjoying it. I can see that demographic of the nominating committee slotting it in. Then there's KPOP, an Off-Broadway hit that moved uptown back in the fall to a mixed reaction and ended up losing money very quickly. We'll see what ends up taking the fifth slot.
Best Revival of a Musical:
Since there are six eligible candidates this year, there will automatically be four nominees. A fifth is possible, but only if there's a close race between two contenders within three votes. The three listed below have each been very well regarded by critics and audiences alike. They're all pretty much locks.
Into the Woods
Parade
Sweeney Todd
But What About That Fourth Slot?: I think it's universally agreed upon that 1776 is the only one that has no shot at all. That revival with a cast of all female/trans performers came and went with its limited run back in the fall, received a ton of bad critical reviews, and was very much under the radar. On paper, it looked like Camelot would be a strong contender given its pedigree of Bartlett Sher taking on a golden age classic at Lincoln Center Theater. His previous outings there with South Pacific (2008), The King & I (2015), and My Fair Lady (2018) were all quite successful. However, critics were divided over Camelot with a number of them taking issues with Aaron Sokin's revised book. Meanwhile, Bob Fosse's Dancin' surprisingly earned a much better reception than what everyone anticipated, especially given its underwhelming response from San Diego last year. Given that Dancin' is more of a revue, I can see nominators who weren't fond of Camelot enjoying the former more.
Now onto the other categories. All of them are set to have five nominees. Although a sixth or seventh slot is possible, but only if there's a tie in the nominating process.
Best Performance By a Leading Actor in a Musical:
Christian Borle-Some Like It Hot
J. Harrison Ghee-Some Like It Hot
Josh Groban-Sweeney Todd
Brian d'Arcy James-Into the Woods
Ben Platt-Parade
Who Could Sneak In?: If shows like A Beautiful Noise, Camelot, and/or New York, New York overperform in nominations, I can see either of their leading men showing up here. In A Beautiful Noise, Will Swenson is playing legendary musician Neil Diamond. Those types of roles have a great track record of getting their actors nominated at least. In Camelot, Andrew Burnap is playing King Arthur. That character won Richard Burton a Tony for the original Broadway production back in 1961. Although Colton Ryan in New York, New York is probably the least likely to sneak in due to his buzz possibly not being strong enough. Swenson is the one I'm really tempted to put in, but I don't know who to take out for him. The two likely to miss are probably Christian Borle and Brian d'Arcy James. The former could be upstaged by his Some Like It Hot co-star, J. Harrison Ghee. The latter plays The Baker in Into the Woods, which so far has never been recognized by the Tonys. Chip Zien wasn't nominated for the original production in 1988 nor was Stephen DeRosa for the 2002 revival. Then again, Borle and d'Arcy James are both beloved Broadway vets in shows that might do well.
Best Performance By a Leading Actress in a Musical:
Annaleigh Ashford-Sweeney Todd
Victoria Clark-Kimberly Akimbo
Lorna Courtney-& Juliet
Micaela Diamond-Parade
Adrianna Hicks-Some Like It Hot
Who Could Sneak In?: There's obviously the two leading ladies of Into the Woods. Sara Bareilles plays The Baker's Wife, a role that won Joanna Gleason a Tony for the original production. Bareilles is in contention for the first time as an actress after having previously been nominated for songwriting with her Waitress score in 2016 and a song for the SpongeBob musical in 2018. Plus, she really has become such a mainstay in the New York theatre community within the last several years. Meanwhile, Patina Miller plays The Witch, a role that earned Vanessa Williams a nomination for the 2002 revival. Miller has been nominated for both of her previous Broadway outings, Sister Act in 2011 and Pippin in 2013, the latter of which resulted in a win. Either one of them makes the cut, they both get in, or they cancel each other out. Similar to what I mentioned in the category above, if Camelot overperforms, Phillipa Soo could sneak in. Her character, Guenevere, earned Julie Andrews a nomination for the original production. Plus, Soo does have the visibility of also opening the aforementioned revival of Into the Woods earlier this season as Cinderella. Although this category just became a little more crowded with the inclusion of Caroline Innerbichler for Shucked. She could be a dark horse for a nomination, especially if her show does really well. Same could be said for Anna Uzele in New York, New York. Lorna Courtney and Adrianna Hicks could become causalities due to the onslaught of contenders here. But since I have both of their respective shows doing very well in nominations, I'm going out on a limb for them.
Best Performance By a Featured Actor in a Musical:
Justin Cooley-Kimberly Akimbo
Gavin Creel-Into the Woods
Jordan Donica-Camelot
Gatan Matarazzo-Sweeney Todd
Alex Newell-Shucked
Who Could Sneak In?: Depending on how well & Juliet, Kimberly Akimbo, and/or Some Like It Hot do, some of their featured players could show up here for as coattail nominations. & Juliet has Paulo Szot, a previous winner for the 2008 revival of South Pacific, in a role that won David Bedella an Olivier Award for the West End production. Although I have been wondering if Stark Sands could be a dark horse for his rock star parody of William Shakespeare. Christian Borle managed to pull that off in Something Rotten!, which won him a Tony here back in 2015. Steven Boyer, a previous nominee for his star turn in the play, Hand to God, is in contention as the title character's father in Kimberly Akimbo. Having caught Some Like It Hot on Broadway about a month ago, Kevin Del Aguila does give quite a memorable performance as millionaire Osgood Fielding III. Of all the featured men in Parade, Alex Joseph Grayson appears to have two standout numbers. Given how A Beautiful Noise is structured around a series of therapy sessions in which older Neil Diamond reacts to his lyrics as they're read out loud by his psychiatrist, I wonder if Mark Jacoby could also be a dark horse for a bid here. He's been nominated once before back in 1995 for the Hal Prince-helmed revival of Show Boat and is quite a Broadway veteran. I think that'll be dependent on how A Beautiful Noise fares with the nominating committee. Of my predicted lineup, Jordan Donica might be the one on shaky grounds. It'll depend on how nominators respond to Camelot overall. Although he could still get in regardless if they at least found his performance as Lancelot to be a highlight.
Best Performance By a Featured Actress in a Musical:
Carolee Carmello-Bad Cinderella
Bonnie Milligan-Kimberly Akimbo
Phillipa Soo-Into the Woods
Natasha Yvette Williams-Some Like It Hot
Betsy Wolfe-& Juliet
Who Could Sneak In?: Interestingly enough, Robyn Hurder is predicted by a majority of people on Gold Derby to get nominated for her performance as Neil Diamond's second wife, Marcia Murphey, in A Beautiful Noise. I think she only gets in if the show itself overperforms in nominations. A number of people found Julia Lester's performance as Little Red Ridinghood to be a standout in the most recent revival of Into the Woods. I have Phillipa Soo getting in over her given that her character is usually a bigger standout in that musical coupled with her visibility from this past season, but the former could still be a dark horse contender. Similar to Steven Boyer in his category, Alli Mauzey is in contention as the title character's mother in Kimberly Akimbo. She has potential to be a surprise coattail nomination for that show. One contender who I don't have getting in but probably should is Ruthie Ann Miles. She's a previous winner for making the role of Lady Thiang a bigger standout than usual in the most recent Broadway revival of The King & I. Miles has apparently been doing so again as the mysterious Beggar Woman in Sweeney Todd, who's always been seen as a minor character in that musical. Of my predicted lineup, Carolee Carmello is likely the most vulnerable. She's beloved by the community and has been recognized for shows (like Lestat in 2006 and Scandalous in 2013) that nearly flopped with nominators before. Plus, she has the visibility of also appearing in the revival of 1776 back in the fall. Even those who didn't care for Bad Cinderella at least found Carmello's performance as the wicked stepmother to be a highlight.
Best Direction of a Musical:
Michael Arden-Parade
Thomas Kail-Sweeney Todd
Casey Nicholaw-Some Like It Hot
Jack O’Brien-Shucked
Jessica Stone-Kimberly Akimbo
Who Could Sneak In?: For a while, I had Luke Sheppard getting in for & Juliet. He still could depending on how that show performs with the nominating committee. However, the five I'm predicting have been more lauded for their directing. If any of them miss, I can see it being Michael Arden because like Lear deBessonet for Into the Woods, he presented a more bare bones staging than usual with Parade. While there's nothing wrong with that (especially given how both revivals transferred from concert presentations at New York City Center to Broadway), they're probably still vulnerable. On the surface, the directing in both productions might be seen as too simple to get that many votes for nominations here. Although with Arden, he apparently provided a bit more staging with Parade than deBessonet did with Into the Woods. Given that he also helmed a one-man stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol on Broadway starring Jefferson Mays earlier this season, that visibility could help him out. Plus, if Parade really is strong for Best Musical Revival, Arden showing up here could be a sign.
Best Original Score:
Kimberly Akimbo-Music By Jeanine Tesori, Lyrics By David Lindsay-Abaire
KPOP-Music & Lyrics By Helen Park & Max Vernon
Life of Pi-Music By Andrew T. Mackay
Shucked-Music & Lyrics By Brandy Clark & Shane McAnally
Some Like It Hot-Music By Marc Shaiman, Lyrics By Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman
What Could Sneak In?: Despite the other two new musical scores from this season being co-written by revered composers such as Tom Kitt (Almost Famous) and Andrew Lloyd Webber (Bad Cinderella), it's not looking likely for either of them to get nominated again this year. Although I can see the latter benefitting from all the press he's gotten within the past couple of months with The Phantom of the Opera closing on Broadway as well as the death of his son, Nick. Or maybe Leopoldstadt sneaks in as a potential coattail bid for that play.
Best Book of a Musical:
& Juliet-David West Read
Kimberly Akimbo-David Lindsay-Abaire
Shucked-Robert Horn
Some Like It Hot-Matthew López & Amber Ruffin
But What About That Fifth Slot?: Whatever ends up taking the fifth slot for Best Musical will likely be the same one here. Unless Camelot sneaks in since that's a revival with a new book that is Tony eligible. While critics still had issues with the revised script, I guess it's not impossible for nominators to admire Aaron Sorkin's contributions in trying to improve upon the original book (which many people always found flawed) for the musical. Despite Sorkin being this revered screenwriter who got his start in the theatre, none of his prior Broadway outings (A Few Good Men, The Farnsworth Invention, and To Kill a Mockingbird) got him Tony nominations. So this would be a first for him. Although Anthony McCarten could be an interesting dark horse for A Beautiful Noise. He could be helped by his overall visibility from this past season as he also had a straight play on Broadway back in the winter titled The Collaboration. Plus, he is the one who came up with the musical's framing device of Neil Diamond looking back on his life and career through therapy sessions.
Best Choreography:
Steven Hoggett-A Beautiful Noise: The Neil Diamond Musical
Casey Nicholaw-Some Like It Hot
Susan Stroman-New York, New York
Jennifer Weber-& Juliet
Jennifer Weber-KPOP
Who Could Sneak In?: Depending on how Shucked and/or Sweeney Todd does in nominations, they could show up here as coattail bids despite neither of them being these dance heavy shows. Although with the former, Sarah O'Gleby apparently provided some inventive dance moments, but hardly any that stand out. With the latter, Steven Hoggett's work there may not be as showy as it is in A Beautiful Noise, but he appears to have done some imaginative staging with some of the numbers.
Nominations for this year’s Tony Awards will be announced by last year’s winner for MJ, Myles Frost, and current Funny Girl star, Lea Michele. A selection of categories will be revealed on CBS Mornings at 8:30am with everything else on the Tonys’ YouTube channel at 9:00am.
