It's actually looking like it may be so. I've never seen the front runners so far ahead. And almost all these choices were also the picks of the critics who've expressed their preferences so far (such as the Times's Brantley and Green.) Of course, public taste and critical taste don't necessarily coincide with Tony voter taste. 

Here are the results of the survey, as promised

2018 Tony Awards – Who YOU Want As Winners

I'll post the results May 9th. As of now, the front runner is way ahead in every category except numbers 10 and 11 (best featured actor in a musical, and best featured actress in a play)

BConcierge, the software doesn't allow automatic posting of the results. I'll post the results after enough people have taken the survey.

Feel free to use this thread to state some of your preferences and start a debate.

 2018 Tony Awards -- YOUR Picks?

Make your pick in the survey for 15 of the 26 categories in the 72nd annual Tony Awards.

This is for who and what YOU want to win, not who you think the Tony voters will pick — preference, not prediction.

 

 

Only 26 percent have answered Question 6 correctly - and it's not the top answer.

Broadway and the Blizzard: Questions and Answers

(I'm not saying there will be a blizzard, but this addresses the four questions that NY theatergoers ask when a blizzard threatens:

The Spring 2018 season Off-Broadway promises some thrilling shows, as the preview guide should make clear. There are new plays by superstar playwrights — Caryl Churchill (about revolution) Terrence McNally (about Nijinsky) Bruce Norris (about slavery), Adrienne Kennedy (about Jim Crow and Nazism), Lynn Nottage (about an elephant)…as well as New York premieres of plays by Tracy Letts, Martin McDonagh, Dominique Morisseau, and Aristophanes (in Greek!).
