I think a lot of these ladies chances are going to be based on how well their shows do. Amelie, War Paint, Anastasia and Bandstand are all up in the air at this point. All the leading ladies who were nominated the last 2 years, their shows were all nominated for best musical or revival
neonlightsxo said: "Sunday chose to remove themselves from the Tony race because they have a small profit window."
So they did that because they want other shows to be nominated to try and help them out? That's ****ing dumb. Everybody should be eligible. This is about excellence in theatre, not about helping other shows sell well.
Also, why isn't the show just running longer anyway? They should find someone to replace Gylle
I disagree with that. I think Amelie is not gonna get nominated for much if anything, which is why I doubt Soo will be nominated. By contrast, I think Benton will get in because Natasha Pierre is gonna get Tony love. I also wouldn't underestimate Anastasia. No clue about Bandstand.
I agree with much of what has already been said. I don't see Eva Noblezada getting a nod. I think Phillipa Soo and Laura Osnes are in the same boat. If their shows don't get much Tony love, they're not getting in. Also, Annaleigh Ashford should be nominated. And lets not forget Audra didn't get nominated last year so anything can happen.
Bette Midler, Patti Lupone, Christine Ebersole, Denee Benton, and either Soo, Altomare, or Osnes for the last.
hes talking about how he wants good music that you can hum and want to listen to after the shows over. If the music is forgettable, there's no point in doing a musical.
