The competition would have to be very weak for Samantha to even get a nomination. Seems like it very well may be. I doubt the show will make it to the spring l, so they’ll be forgotten come awards time.

Have you seen Pretty Woman? The show may be overall weak but Samantha was SENSATIONAL and multiple reviews, and members of this board have said so. Samantha WILL get a nomination, and I wouldn't be surprised if she won.
I think that Kelli O'Hara is going to get nominated on her name alone, but I think that Samantha will have stiff competition from Stephanie J Block specifically, and if Dreamgirls comes in Amber Riley will surely be nominated. I see The Cher Show at the end of June and I can't wait to report back on that one.
i think next year will be much a much more robust group of shows and agree sj block and kelli ohara are safe bets for best actress nominations. loved samantha barks in 25 th anniv les miz and found her to be very flat in amelie. love the movie pretty woman and hoping she does better in this role.
I’ll try to post all the categories a show will be eligible for once they’ve started.

I'm excited about Mockingbird, but I'm also scared to get super excited for another Rudin thing this far ahead of time after seeing what happened with Carousel. Although, I trust it with Bart at the helm.

Yes, indeed. I think everybody is waiting eagerly for the Moulin Rouge!, Hadestown, and Tootsie transfer announcements for the season to get exciting. We're also in dire need of some more musical revivals!
Wonder if Sondheim's new musical will sweep in and save the day. Also, William Finn's The Royal of Broadway will be opening at Barrington. If it does well, I wonder if it'll make it to this season.
I see Hadestown dominating next season however, I hope they transfer.

Any news if Girl From the North Country is going to transfer? I know it is playing in Toronto from Feb to Mar. If it opens in time (like late April), I think it could be a contender for Best Musical.
