With less than one hour to go before the Tony pre-show when the present the technical awards here are my predictions for tonight (which are also on GoldDerby.com):
Play: Curious Incident
Musical: An American in Paris
Revival (Play): You Can't Take it with You
Revival (Musical): The King and I
Actor (Play): Alex Sharp, Curious Incident
Actress (Play): Helen Mirren, The Audience
Actor (Musical): Robert Fairchild, American in Paris
Actress (Musical): Kristin Chenoweth, On the 20th Century
Feat. Actor (play): Richard McCabe, The Audience
Feat. Actress (play); Annaleigh Ashford, You Can't Take It With You
Feat. Actor (musical): Christian Borle, Something Rotten!
Feat, Actress (musical): Sydney Lucas, Fun Home
Dir. (Play): Marianne Elliott, Curious Incident
Dir. (musical): Christopher Wheeldon, American in Paris
Choreo.: Christopher Wheeldon, American in Paris
Book: Lisa Kron, Fun Home
Score: Jeanine Tesori, Lisa Kron, Fun Home
Set Design (play): Curious Incident
Set Design (musical): An American in Paris
Costume Design (play); Wolf Hall
Costume Design (Musical): King and I
Lighting Design (Play): Curious Incident
Lighting Design (Musical): An American in Paris
Orchestrations: An American in paris
This is who I think will win, not who I voted for. I want Fun Home to win Best Musical, but I think the more commercial American in Paris will win and they will give Home the consolation prizes of Score and Book (sort of like Thoroughly Modern Millie and Urinetown or Jersey Boys and Drowsy Chaperone). I also voted for K. Todd Freeman (Drama Desk winner) and Julie White to take Featured Actor and Actress in a Play for Airline Highway, but it will probably go to Richard McCabe (Outer Critics Circle) and Annaleigh Ashford (OCC, DD).
Looking forward to the show and particularly Ted Cruz's reaction to the number with Fun Home with an 11-year-old girl singing about her awakening sense of being a lesbian.
