Broadway is back and so is a full season of Tony Nominees! After seeing 90% of this seasons shows, here are my picks for every category at the upcoming Tony Awards based on science (and really mostly my heart).
Let me know your picks below! And get ready for the Tony Awards coming up on June 12, 2022. Can't wait to cheer on A Strange Loop, Company, The Lehman Trilogy, The Skin of Our Teeth and more!
For theatre news and theatre adventures, be sure to follow me on TikTok, @theatreislife. And to check out the shows I see, follow along on IG (@lastmidnight) and on the Mezzanine app!

love your predictions and explanations! someone told me they hated a strange loop because the set was nothing, had no “stars”, no big numbers and costumes were just ok and it’s still baffling my mind! so i really hope a strange loop wins best musical just to prove the person wrong 😂

Thank you! And oh no, those are part of what makes A Strange Loop so special. Def hope they end up being proven wrong!

i definitely see Joaquina Kalukango winning for best actress in a musical. i saw Paradise Square when it was running in Chicago (and so did some of my friends) and at every single one of the performances i’ve heard about (including the one i saw) she got a mid show standing ovation after her big song. it was insane, i’ve never seen anything like it.

Yeah, literally every show. The last time a show had that, it was JLP and she also won the Tony

Loved this! I 200% agree with you on Skin, of everything I saw this season - some excellent stuff - this was on another level, it was transcending. My mouth was open in disbelief and delight for the first half, and by the second I was transformed. This was such a special production, I don’t know what the voters were thinking.

Six needs to win at least a few awards. Also they need to add a best ensemble award for shows like six!

An ensemble award is such a must! Especially with shows like Six, Thoughts of a Colored Man, for colored girls, POTUS, Chicken & Biscuits.... I could go on, just so many good ensemble casts this year

I wanted to see The Lehman Trilogy so much. I originally had tickets for 2020, but the run this season was too short for me to make it.

I have the same hadestown shirt as you and what I think is that when the Grammys happened we expected AOTY to go to Happier Than Ever by Billie or Sour by Olivia Rodrigo, but someone I’ve never heard of won. Maybe that could happen at the Tony’s for best musical although I do want Strange Loop or Six to win.

I saw The Lehman Trilogy in London. I too was blown away by the entire production. It was for me an odd experience. I found myself explaining to the woman on my right what some of the stage Jewish business was all about, like kissing the mezuzah on the door jamb every time an actor entered or exited a room. It was a subtle move, but very well observed. She remarked I had guffawed at the scene where one of the brothers was in Hebrew school and the teacher cuffed him for being disobedient. Man, did that bring back memories British audience are appreciative but not like we here in the colonies. When the lights came up for the curtain calls I was on my feet cheering, yelling Bravo. A lot of the audience around me followed my lead. It’s weird seeing a play so inherently Jewish surround by an audience so singularly Christian.

Loved the video. Agree with the vast majority of your picks. But I would argue that there isn't competition for ASL in best musical. Touring producers influence can't be counted out and the only show of the nominees that's guaranteed a strong touring record is SIX. I definitely think ASL is gonna take it and needs it more but SIX cannot be counted out.

I think if it does a Freestyle Love Supreme-esque tour it absolutely would succeed! Smaller theatres in select markets so it doesn't get swallowed up by the large houses! But there are def audiences across the nation that would love to see this show

Yeah, I def don't think it'll play well in every city, though the demographics may surprise you. One of their largest demographics (per a cast member) are 60+ year old white women (including their producer and I've seen it verified with my own mother, who absolutely loved it)
