Favorite: Dear Evan Hansen
Who I think will win: Dear Evan Hansen
Who I think should win: Natasha Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812

Play Revival:
Favorite: The Little Foxes
Who I think will win: Six Degrees of Separation
Who I think should win: Present Laughter (solely because I love Kevin Kline-LOL)
WINNER: August Wilson’s Jitney

Musical Revival:
Favorite: Hello, Dolly! (though several articles I read today are predicting that Falsettos may take it)
Who I think will win: Hello, Dolly! (which is possibly my least favorite musical of all time)
Who I think should win: Miss Saigon! (It was AMAZING!)
WINNER: Hello, Dolly!

Leading Actor (play):
Favorite: Kevin Kline for Present Laughter
Who I think will win: Jefferson Mays for Oslo

Leading Actor (musical):
Favorite: Ben Platt for Dear Evan Hansen

Leading Actress (musical):
Favorite: Bette Midler for Hello, Dolly!
Who I think will win: Bette Midler for Hello, Dolly!
Who I think should win: Hard to say-fame is clearly a factor here-3 uber famous talented women nominated-all three superstars, and 2 newer, less known talents. I saw both of the lesser known ones (Denee Benton in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, and Eva Noblezada in Miss Saigon). Both of their performances were worthy of this award in my opinion...

I guessed a total of 11 categories correctly out of 24. So...I'm not sure what to say about that, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Tony's! It was a great show-fun to watch and totally fun for our family! And for anyone following at home, the whole family did predictions, and I guessed the most correct, followed by Armour who guessed 10/24 correctly.
