Best Snubbed Musical World Cup 2023 - Ranking

This ranking ranks the 96 musicals that made it into the "Best Musical World Cup Finals," which consisted of the final Group Stage and Knockout Stage, and excludes the 74 that were eliminated in the Qualifiers. I wanted to do a ranking of all 170 entrants, and maybe I will eventually, but I am too lazy to calculate that now.

Ranking Parameters:

Musicals that finished in higher stages ranked higher than those that finished below, and I used the votes each musical got in its final poll to rank musicals within a single stage.

The full ranking is below the keep reading button.

Why people will be upset with the 2017 Tony Awards & Nominations

The 2016-2017 Broadway season has been unusually crowded with new musical productions. It’s like producers were waiting until the season after Hamilton in hopes of being up for some Tonys, knowing Hamilton would sweep. But by doing this, they failed to recognise many other shows were doing the same. Of course, some shows weren’t even ready last year, but let’s look at this objectively.

Shows that have the potential to be nominated for Best Musical:

A Bronx Tale

Amélie

Anastasia

Bandstand

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

Come From Away

Dear Evan Hansen

Groundhog Day

Natashia, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812

In Transit

War Paint

Obviously not all of these shows will get nominated, only 4-5 will. Which is a travesty, as some shows that will miss out probably would be nominated in any other season. As for a winner, I’ll be surprised if Dear Evan Hansen doesn’t win. Although I will be RAGED if Amélie and Anastasia aren’t at least nominated.

Best Revival is unusually crowded too, with shows that might be nominated include:

Cats

Falsettos

Miss Saigon

Hello Dolly

Sunset Boulevard

Sunday in the Park with George - although I think I read somewhere that it will not be eligible/they pulled themselves out or something.

Miss Saigon is most likely to take the win for this one. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I could be wrong

This is where it get’s really frustrating, because some amazing actresses and actors will not be nominated for Leading Role in a Musical, even though they carry the entire show on their backs. (I’m not going to list Supporting Roles, but I’m sure you can imagine the snubs)

Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical potential nominees:

Phillipa Soo

Christy Altomare

Mamie Parris

Jen Colella

Ariana DeBose

Eva Noblezada

Denée Benton

Patti LuPone

Christine Ebersole

Barrett Doss

Laura Osnes

Bette Midler

Stephanie J Block

Glenn Close

(Not sure which/if any of the Dear Evan Hansen girl will be up for this. Maybe Rachael Bay Jones or Laura Dreyfuss)

Actor in a Leading Roll in a Musical potential nominees:

Andy Karl

Derek Klena

Josh Groban

Ben Platt

Alistair Brammer

Nick Cordero

Adam Chandler-Berat

Christian Borle

Christian Borle (yes he’s up for 2 leading roles)

Andrew Rannells

Brandon Uranowitz

Corey Cott

James Snyder

I mean, it’s just INSANE how many snubs there will be this year for deserving actresses and actors. I just wanted to prepare everyone that not all of your favorites will be nominated this year. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the way it is. Show the actors your love and support on their social medias to let them know their work matters to you. And let’s be grateful for all of the new shows this year. Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now.
