Everything has to be OPEN by late April to be eligible for the Tony Awards. (So almost nothing begins previews in May.
Playbill.com has a great list, but off the top of my head:
Matilda
Kinky Boots
Diner (supposedly))
Hands on a Hard Body
Motown
Cinderella
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Maybe "Rebecca" will finally open. I hope so -- I've been looking forward to it, and even had tickets.

Posted: 12/13/12 at 12:09amand considering that Scandalous & Chaplin were flops, my bets for the four Tony nominated new musicals will be: Matilda, Hands On A Hardbody, Kinky Boots & Cinderella.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

They have just met once for this season, and of course they didn't decide on Cinderella. Not until after it opens.
It is most likely to be considered a revival.

I would put good money on Cinderella being a revival, but the book being eligible for best book.
I would be shocked if the committee deems it eligible as a new musical. The show has had too many major productions onstage, including being seen in NYC in several forms, for it to be considered a new musical, even with the heavily revised book and an expanded tune stack.
