I certainly hope they aren't on Broadway and Tony eligible at the same time. It does neither show any good to compete against another high profile Sondheim show at the Tonys.
And since the extremely buzzed about and acclaimed and high concept John Doyle Sweeney revival somehow lost the Tony to The Pajama Game... I think this one is even more likely to take it home if it's as good as it could be.
And of course Merrily has been waiting for its due for decades, and despite this being based on and remounted from an embarrassingly bad production (that many seemed to love and rave about), it's a tough show to sell... I think it also has a lot of good will behind it with Sondheim's passing, I am willing to bet most Tony voters want to vote for it unless they're given reason not to.
And the of course there's Into the Woods... which is beloved as a show and critically acclaimed as a production. It stands a very good chance as well, in any season. But we have had SOOOOO much Into the Woods since the original, including the Lapine revival which won the Tony also... I can see this production just not having the momentum or appearance of the *need* for a Tony win for Revival by the time voting comes around. |
