I also think Lenk is very likely to take the Tony, and not because its an especially difficult role vocally. She propels the piece in a way that is singular and haunting. She is the heart of the show. She feels like an exciting discovery. That's what she shares with Platt.

Lenk should 100% have been nominated for a Tony last year for Indecent

So she has that going for her this year as well.

And please no one try to argue that she wasn't snubbed because it would mean eliminating someone who was nominated -- personally, I would have had her nominated instead of Condola Rashad.

On the basis of her beautiful performance in "The Band's Visit" at the Atlantic, I was fairly certain she would be nominated for "Indecent" without having seen it, and was surprised when she wasn't. Once I did see it, not long before the Tonys were presented, I fully understood. She never really had a character to play in "Indecent." You could see that she was gifted, particularly in her musical moments, but there just wasn't enough of her as any one character to justify her being nominated over any of the other nominees.

I did not get the bang out of "Indecent" that so many on this board did, but Richard Topol, who did have a character to play, certainly earned the nomination he received.

I would be shocked if she were not nominated next spring, though it's way too soon to assume her victory is in the bag.

I just checked their wiki, Topol wasn't nominated... I don't believe any actor from Indecent was, though I would have nominated 4 of them.

Is the competition so far. I wouldn't dismiss her as a contender. Of course, my fair lady and carousel have very meaty roles for lead actress in musicals.

In a season that has four big, woman-led musicals still to open (Carousel, Frozen, Mean Girls and My Fair Lady), it's absurd to call anyone a front-runner for the best leading actress in a musical Tony Award yet.

Nice performances but not Tony worthy.

How do they postpone “Let It Go” to close the act? It’s 25 - 30 minutes into the film. Does it feel like a stall? Losing Elsa that long? It’s my big structural question since it shoves 2/3 of the story into act 2.
