Fall 2018 Stars, Shows, & Creatives Who Deserve 2019 Tony A…

It’s a sad truth that spring shows tend to dominate the conversation around Tony nomination time (though, to be fair, the three recent winners Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, The Band’s Visit all opened in the fall). Below, the BroadwayBox team goes category-by-category filling in what that one fall slot would have to be (IMHO).

* for categories we think they would be submitted for. Also, Choir Boy doesn’t open until 2019 so was not in consideration.
