“The Prom” is also a much more coherent musical than this. I wonder how long it’ll run on fans?

Yeah, there was also the Anything Goes/How To Succeed year and the countless years of only 3 nominees- there’ll be separate categories.

The Prom is basically a lock for a nomination, lol. It got very good reviews compared to The Cher Show which were mostly negative and BMC which were decidedly mixed off broadway.
I agree that SJB has very little competition at this point. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of passion behind Kelli. I honk her biggest competition is probably Beth Leavel, who already has a Tony.
With Kiss Me, Kate’s consensus being “good but not great”, I think Oklahoma has a great chance of revival

I really don’t think the nominations will give Ain’t Too Proud a lot of love- there’s been a growing backlash against jukebox musicals, the last one to get into Best Musical was Beautiful five years ago. Especially because the out of town reviews aren’t super positive.
I think the last best musical slot will probably be Be More Chill, as much as it pains me. The buzz on it is turning positive and it’s at least original. I think the nominations will be led by Hadestown, Tootsie, The Pro

I know they’ll go for a Hollywood name, but Michael Xavier was brilliant in the revival and I wish he would reprise his role...he played with Glenn very well

Right now the person I could see her getting in over is Rebecca Naomi Jones who's singing got some mixed reviews in Oklahoma, but that production is so acclaimed I think they'll put her in.”
Who are your other 4 nominees in this case? I could see them both getting in with S
I could definitely see 5 nominees for Best Play this season considering all the strong candidates. We got 5 last season which was significantly weaker, and with Ferryman, TKAM, and Choir Boy all getting raves and Gary/Ink/Hillary and Clinton all having good buzz, it seems possible.

Is Waitress on its way out? It’s had a nice long run, and the post-Sara and Gavin numbers aren’t looking great...
I don't think Company would've been a lock this season. Oklahoma has great reviews and is a completely reimagined production, which has tended to score in the revival category recently (The Color Purple, Once On This Island, Pippin). Roundabout's last two musical revivals (She Loves Me, On The Twentieth Century) were very well received too.
Is Lilli Cooper a lead in Tootsie? She got good reviews out of town and could ride a wave of love for that show to a nominatio
This seems like a giant jumping of the gun. Closing because you think your numbers will get bad when your star leaves is strange and I think they coud've easily gotten through the summer- it's a big dance-heavy musical, which should sell tickets by itself without Audra. Can't imagine what they were thinking.
