I'm looking forward to The Prom! It sounds like a lot of fun AND it's a completely original musical.
Also hoping that Tootsie/Moulin Rouge/Hadestown end up transferring as well.

I don’t have any insider information but I wouldn’t be surprise if the Crazy For You revival opens next season.

Featured Actor in a Play was a crowded category this year but I was hoping that Seth Numrich would be nominated for Travesties.
I am also disappointed that Newell/Rockwell were snubbed.
I've seen all the musicals this year so here are my predictions for the best musical/revival and all the acting categories (A lot of it is similar to what others have posted on here):
No mention of The Band's Visit? Sure it's not a sell-out megahit like CFA or DEH, but it's still a musical from this season not based on a "mainstream brand."

Listen, I understand it's been 4 months since that show opened, but we can't forget about that performance.

I’m not sure exactly when, but I think he returns to the show in May. I hope his schedule is announced soon!!

Yeah I think she is ineligible for the OCC this year.
GeorgeandDot said: "Tony Shalhoub actually is still in The Band's Visit, technically. He's just on hiatus and will play certain performances for Tony voters. This something that Dandridge is not doing. I think the chances of her being nominated now are very slim."
Slightly off topic question, has Shalhoub’s return date/performance schedule been announce yet?
There was a concert version of this a few months back at 54 Below (October 2017 I think...?), I'm assuming it was a revised version; it was a lot of fun! The cast was excellent (it included Adam Chanler-Berat and Douglas Sills).
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last year. Everyone on the board was so excited to see what the set design was like, and once performances began it was very underwhelming.
Road Trip Musicals Mar 16

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert comes to mind, even if it is a jukebox musical.
Little Miss Sunshine is a road trip musical, too, but I don’t think there’s a recording out.
