The Prom, Hadestown, Tootsie, and Ain’t Too Proud seem the likely contenders. Play is so much more competitive it’s almost absurd
Is there a world in which either Heidi Schreck or "Constitution" is nominated? That to me is a standout performance and experience of the year and it's such a shame it didn't open last year when it would've been nominated no question.

Of those, the only real threat to Stephanie is Kelli, and I still think it's SJB's for the taking. It isn't like last year when Katrina Lenk was such a clear frontrunner from before the season even began, but I do think SJB has generated a decade of good will in the industry and her time has come. That being said... we'll see how t
No one knows for certain how long Katrina will be in the show. She obviously extended her contract (which was up in October). Whether she did six months, a year, or something between is anybody's guess. Go as soon as possible is my only (not super useful) advice to ensure you catch her
I'm not saying Huntington isn't a prestigious theater or that Lenk is too good to work there. But she just won a leading actress Tony Award. She isn't going to step back into a play in which she had a very featured role, in a regional production, however acclaimed the theater may be. I would hope she has a few bigger opportunities in front of her, at least over the next few years.
^We're to believe he is not leaving in October. The press releases for Brandon Uranowitz state that he's joining a cast that includes him. He must have extended his contract.
Well, yeah, I'm not arguing that many of ALW's decisions are capricious. But HE himself almost certainly had no hand in deciding who performed at this event. So again, just wondering why the Wing reached out to Lenk/why Lenk herself was inclined to accept, frankly.
Since we're speculating with abandon anyways! I will say...
Perhaps there is SOME truth to Lenk working on an ALW something? I only say it because I wonder why she was one of the chosen performers for this evening of tribute to begin with. The other performers all have clear connections to him (save for Newell who was only added last minute when Heather Headley dropped out). Obviously it's not unbelievable that the powers that be wanted to book the most recent Tony wi

He is so slimy and just operates in a news cycle that has so outgrown him. She sang a song at a benefit FOR HIM and now suddenly a rumor is sparked? Stop trying to make it happen. It’s not going to happen.
Secret Garden DID announce itself for this season, but the details were scarce and there's been virtually no followup so it's doubtful it will come to fruition. Though that being said, when Head Over Heels does finally shutter (sorry, all), I can't imagine the Hudson will sit vacant for too long.
This report about Sharone is why I wonder how the show will go on when Katrina leaves. It IS gorgeous no question, but so much of its beauty rests upon the punch Dina packs. It is such a specific kind of performance required (which is to say no doubt Sharone is INCREDIBLY talented), but if the role doesn't fit the performer like a sultry glove, I don't see it working the same way. Again I say, if she is in fact leaving in October and not renewing her contract, I pray they are dil
