what are your tony predictions??

Love this question! I’m not gonna give ALL my predictions just because there are so many categories, but here are some of my 2023 Tony Awards predictions/who I personally want to win:

Best Musical:

Who I want: Kimberly Akimbo

My prediction: Kimberly Akimbo

It’s amazing and tbh I feel like just about everyone who’s seen it absolutely loves it. Talented cast, funny and touching story, catchy songs. That show has it all.

Best Play:

Who I want: Leopoldstadt

My prediction: Ain’t No Mo’

Both plays are super important and super dark. But Ain’t No Mo’ also has the comedic element that’s more pleasing to audiences at the end of the day.

Best Musical Revival:

Who I want: Parade

My prediction: Into The Woods

I love both of these musicals so much. I’m a huge Sondheim fan too. As fantastic as Parade is, I just can’t see Into The Woods losing after all the hype.

Leading Actress in a Musical:

Who I want: Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo) or Lorna Courtney (&Juliet)

My prediction: Victoria Clark (Kimberly Akimbo) or Micaela Diamond (Parade)

This category is stacked. I honestly don’t care who wins. They all deserve it.

Leading Actor in a Musical:

Who I want: Colton Ryan (New York, New York)

My prediction: Ben Platt (Parade)

Ben Platt will definitely win. I’m 98% sure.

Featured Actor in a Musical:

Who I want: Justin Cooley (Kimberly Akimbo)

My prediction: Kevin Cahoon (Shucked)

Justin is only like 19 or 20 years old so I think him winning a Tony would be awesome.

Featured Actress in a Musical:

Who I want: Bonnie Milligan (Kimberly Akimbo) or NaTasha Yvette Williams (Some Like It Hot)

My prediction: Julia Lester (Into The Woods)

I love Bonnie, and NaTasha is a legend. I just feel like Julia’s gonna get it.

Here are my other predictions without my opinion:

Best Revival of a Play: A Doll’s House Best Direction (Play): Jaime Lloyd (A Doll’s House) Best Direction (Musical): Michael Arden (Parade) Best Choreography: Susan Stroman (New York, New York) Best Book: Kimberly Akimbo Best Score: Kimberly Akimbo or Shucked

Honorable mentions: I will forever be rooting for Michael Arden to win Best Direction. He was robbed in 2016. I hope Natasha Katz (Some Like It Hot, Sweeney Todd) wins best Lighting Design because she did the Lighting Design for Sing Street and it was outstanding!!

Overall I don’t really think Kimberly Akimbo will sweep (as much as I love that musical lol) I don’t think any show will sweep this year. I have a feeling it’s gonna be evenly dispersed. Thanks for the ask!

I don’t remember if it was canon in the novels or just from the donghua, but I think it’s kind of a strange decision to have Lan Qiren lead the Lan sect in the Siege of the Burial Mounds instead of Lan Xichen.

Like, first of all, Lan Xichen is the sect leader. He’s young, he’s only recently come into his role (much like Jiang Cheng), so politically he’d need to cement his power early on so as to not appear weak. Sitting out on this crucial attack that all of the Great Sects are leading would reflect poorly on him. Everything is about politics in this world—especially in the Lan sect—and that would take precedent over his personal angst about Lan Wangji’s recent punishment. I mean, it’s not like they cut Lan Wangji any slack when it came to prioritizing his heart over duty, you know?

Second of all, it really skirts Lan Xichen’s personal responsibility in the atrocities committed against the Wens. Like, it’s kind of thematically important every sect leader was complicit in crimes against humanity, and I feel like just having Lan Xichen not be there is giving him an easy out. Like obviously he’d still have had to order the siege, and his years-long entanglement with Jin Guangyao thoroughly implicated him in a whole lot of awful shit, but the fandom already gives him a pass for most of that, and I feel like this only fuels that. Not that it’s bad to like him as a character or anything, it’s just that MDZS is a very morally complex story, and having these characters that appear kindly commit horrible atrocities is a major factor in that. I feel like it just puts a damper on a very poignant message.

Third of all, in terms of the personal angst factor, Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji look a lot alike, and Wei Wuxian didn’t know that Lan Wangji was too injured to fight. How fucked up would it be if Wei Wuxian, in his final moments, saw Lan Xichen from across the battlefield and thought that Lan Wangji had joined the siege to kill him too?

I find this hilarious and probably accurate. But I think it’d be even funnier if this took place post canon of Tgcf so we just have Hualian in the background wondering if they should step in before being like “no, no he has a point” and letting LWJ do his thing. Meanwhile some martial gods are getting a little miffed at this CHILD coming up to heaven and rearranging how things have been for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

Some people probably challenge him and his ideals and either he beats them mercilessly or Xie Lian fights them for him because they’re too strong for LWJ but not the #1 martial god. And also Xie Lian knows more than a thing or two about fighting for your demonic husband that should be respected. Meanwhile Wwx is probably off being a little shit to Hua Cheng by annoying the daylights out of Hua cheng to the point where he’s struggling not to beat the shit out of WWX while simultaneously Wwx is saying some of the most thought provoking theories Hua Cheng has ever heard so Hua cheng can’t hurt him or else he won’t get to hear any of WWX’s theories (and/or possibly ideas to prank/annoy Mu Qing and Feng Xin).

if lwj were to ascend as a heavenly official he'd reform the entire system by sheer force of will bc everyone hiding their war crimes reminded him of the jins hiding their war crimes and wwx paying for it. he'll drag nhs up there for his silly little ability to play the long game and fuck up those who needed to be fucked up, reform the entire place and make sure ppl like wwx wld get their justice even after death, and have the place ready to accept wwx shld wwx want to ascend. because he's lwj and he can do anything with the power of love
