If West Side Story and Girl from the North Country both defer, there are only 4 shows eligible in the musical categories:
Moulin Rouge
The Lightning Thief
Tina
Jagged Little Pill
(I believe American Utopia did not invite voters and is not eligible. There were no musical revivals except for West Side Story that opened already.)
So the only eligible scores would be from The Lightning Thief plus whatever plays had original scores.
The only candidates for Leading Actor in a Musical are Aaron Tveit for Moulin Rouge and Chris McCarell for The Lightning Thief.
Maybe bringing The Lightning Thief to Broadway may have an unexpected payoff...
The play categories are more healthy. There are 13 shows eligible in the play categories.
I didn't realize how front-loaded the season was. There are only 17 eligible shows if WSS and Girl both defer, and 18 shows that ended up not being eligible. So maybe each category should have a smaller number of nominees. |
