Hold onto your playbills, folks, because we’ve got all the juicy details on the nominations, predictions, and who we think should take home the coveted awards!

First up, let’s talk nominations. With 38 Tony-eligible shows vying for recognition, the competition is fierce. The Original Plays category is heating up with a whopping 17 contenders, including the Sean Hayes-led “Good Night, Oscar” and the Jodie Comer-starring “Prima Facie.”

And let’s not forget the original musicals like “Shucked,” featuring country-inspired music by Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally, that have been making waves. The nominations are filled with talent and excitement, guaranteeing a night to remember.

Now, let’s dive into the predictions. Who do we think will emerge as the big winners of the night? In the Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play category, we have heavyweights like Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Sean Hayes vying for the crown.

For Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play, Jessica Chastain and Jodie Comer are head-to-head, delivering powerful performances that have left audiences in awe. In the musical realm, the battle for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role is intense, with Josh Groban, Ben Platt, and Brian d’Arcy James stealing hearts left and right.

And for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical, the competition is fierce between Annaleigh Ashford, Sara Bareilles, and Victoria Clark. Our predictions? It’s anyone’s game, but we have a feeling that Chastain and Platt might just snag those trophies.
