The fact that Chastain can win the Triple Crown in a 18 month span is amazing and I'm rooting her for it. I think she takes the Tonys anyway because I don't see ''Piano'' winning over ''A Doll's House'', but she certainly wants that acting prize.
The Drama League Award winners are being announced!
So far,
'A Doll's House' wins Outstanding Revival of a Play
deBessonet wins Direction of a Musical (ITW)
Kauffman wins Direction of a Play (TSISBW)
'Into the Woods' wins Outstanding Revival of a Musical
'Leopoldstadt' wins Outstanding Play
'Some Like It Hot' wins Outstanding Musical
Annaleigh Ashford wins Distinguished Performance for 'Sweeney Todd'
This definitely helps ITW's chances for a closed show, and I do think, unsurprisingly, Leopoldstadt is a lock for Best Play (though I LOVED Fat Ham), and surprised Ashford topped Comer
Well, Voter 1 has some hot takes...like NY, NY for Best Musical, BEST BOOK (?), Best Choreo and Colton Ryan for Best Actor...They have to be involved in that production somehow."
NY NY is NOT winning those awards...possibly Choreography over SLIH. It will Win most likely Best Set Musical that's all!
Kimberly Akimbo I bet WINS 5 or 6 out of their 8 nominations! I feel it's between Justin Cooley and Alex Newell for Best Featured role Musical but leaning Newell unless the KA love sweeps the awards.
Parade will take Best Musical Revival!

Totallh agree that the race is between Cooley and Newell. It will come down to what the voters value more: a crazy awesome song or characterization. Personally, I'm more about the actor serving the character/story throughout than I am about an individual song blowing off the roof.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I only see Cooley taking if they go all the way with ''Kimberly'' aka ''The Bands Visit'' winning EVERYTHING.
Are we taking sides for the acting awards for the play categories??? Can Sean Hayes win? I think it may not look good to see the white man beating 4 poc nominees.
I recently saw Kimberly Akimbo again and was blown away by Justin Cooley. It’s such a lived-in performance that isn’t showy but wins over the entire audience. I would love to see him win. Ironically, Bonnie Milligan’s performance is the showy performance who steals the show with a song, akin to Alex Newell. I imagine Bonnie is the frontrunner in her category, especially with all of the press and buzz lately.
I’d love to see Katy Sullivan or Kara Young win for Featured Actress in a Play. I loved them both in Cost of Living.
I hope Justin takes it. He is so young yet, as Mr Music commented, it's such a lived in performance. The audience was so taken by him, he is absolutely incredible and simply better than the other people in the same category.
And yes, featured is Brandon. Brilliant performance.

I think the award that I care about most deeply this year is my hope that Victoria Clark wins for Kimberly Akimbo. A deeply felt, flawless performance.
