Of course he can win but I feel like the momentum has swung towards some of the other nominees who are in shows that just opened.
I'd be really happy if anyone other than Joshua Henry won. I really hated his performance, and I'm a big fan of his previous work. His Billy was too one-dimensional.
Sorry to be the voice of dissent here but I just about hated it. I didn't think any of it really worked, there was no development of ideas or characters at all, and it was too vulgar for my tastes.
My biggest problem is that they just put the movie on stage, and really did nothing to enhance for the stage. That's okay for a theme park show but not Broadway. The new songs are terrible, Elsa is useless (like someone said, she doesn't interact with anyone and whenever she'd appear I'd think, "oh, right, she's in this show too), and they really had no idea what to do with Olaf. They could've cut him completely and the show wouldn't have suffered.
