T2C’s Predictions for the Tony Race

We predicted that there will be 5 nominations in both play and musical category this year. The Tony announcements will be held April 30th with Bebe Neuwirth and Brandon Victor Dixon to announce. The telecast is June 9th at Radio City.

I have not seen Tootsie or Hillary and Clinton, nor Beth Level’s performance in The Prom and will not until after the nominations. These predictions are based on industry buzz.

This not necessarily what I think deserves the vote, but what I think will be given the vote.
