No Guts, No Glory Tony Nomination Predictions#1
Posted: 5/1/17 at 12:45pm

Well, it's that time of year for No Guts, No Glory Tony Nomination Predictions.  Not people or shows who are #6 or #7 on the list, but the real underdogs who would shock people if they ended up being nominated.

 

Here are mine:

Will Roland, Dear Evan Hansen

Beanie Feldstein, Hello Dolly!

Amber Gray, Natasha and Pierre

 

None of them have received any nominations yet for their roles, but I think they might get their name called tomorrow.

"What was the name of that cheese that I like?" "you can't run away forever...but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start" "well I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart"

I mean, Will's fine, but his role is nothing award worthy.

Would Amber Gray be a surprise? She seems like the safest choice of the Great Comet featured female performers. I don't know Tony politics, but she seems respected for past work, has a standout solo that was just released as a video, and has gotten good reviews.

I'm a big fan of Brittain Ashford, whose Great Comet solo was my favorite performance at a show I saw last month (perhaps because I was surprised at how much I liked it). But people seem more divided about her, and Gray probably gives the stronger overall performance. And while I agree with all the Grace McLean admiration, her role doesn't include a solo.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Best Musical

If for no other reason, but because it would be really, really, really funny.

Not exactly a dark horse per se, but he hasn't yet been nominated anywhere else.

Chad Kimball for Come From Away. 

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Seconded. I'd be surprised if he was nominated, but I genuinely enjoyed his performance and would be pleased to see him recognized for doing so much with such a mediocre show.

He's been nominated for an Outer Critics Circle and a Drama Desk, I'd say he's pretty much a guaranteed nominee.

Michael Wartella for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

I'm SERIOUSLY out on a limb with this one, I know, but that's the whole point of this thread, right? :)

But man, that mime sequence is no joke.

Barrett Doss! I think people haven't really been mentioning her all along because there was an assumption that she'd be in Leading Actress, but now that she's in Featured... I think it's a long shot, but she's my no-guts-no-glory prediction. 

Also Rodney Hicks.

I'm thirding Barrett Doss, and I would love to see Jennifer Laura Thompson-- imo, she's the strongest behind Ben Platt and tied with Rachel Bay Jones. Such a shame Featured Actress in a Musical is so crowded this year.
