The small musical almost never wins...

I think An American in Paris is leading at this time, not Fun Home. The "small" musical almost never wins, Avenue Q and Once being exceptions. But those shows were crowd-pleasers in a way that Fun Home is not. Fun Home fits more in the mold of also-rans like Passing Strange and Grey Gardens. And Fun Home is REALLY small. It's one of the few Tony-nominated musicals with no real ensemble, and there are very few scenes with more than 4 people on stage at the same time. That being said, I really hope it wins, but I don't think it will.
