"Fun Home, was very moving but formulaic with a limited universal perspective."

There are many possible criticisms of Fun Home, I am sure, but formulaic does not seem to me one of them. What do you perceive as being formulaic about it?

As ryhog said, there is only one round of Tony voting. Here is the rule on this matter:

"Where there are nine or more eligible shows in a Best Show category, at the Tony Nominating Meeting, the Nominating Committee will be instructed to cast one vote each for four eligible shows as nominees on his/her secret ballot. Such ballot shall be collected and tabulated by a representative of the Accounting Firm. The four eligible shows with the highest number of votes will automatically be designated as the nominees in such category. A fifth nominee shall be added to the category in the event that the Accounting Firm determines that the difference in votes between the fourth highest ranked show and the fifth highest ranked show is three votes or less."

Tony rules and regulations are linked below.
