This year is such an amazing year for all of theatre, so I’m excited for all the nominations (even though I’m personally rooting for Hadestown)! I’m thinking Tootsie will win best book since it’s a bit older, and I would love for Beetlejuice to win best costume. Seeing King Kong win best scenic design would certainly be nice, too. Still, I’m placing bets on Hadestown winning best featured actor and actress, as well as lighting. I think it’s up in the air for other awards, though, so I’m excited to see what happens on Sunday!
