Who will win the Tony Awards? ‘Kimberly Akimbo,’ ‘Sweeney Todd’ and ‘Leopoldstadt’ are contenders
There’s no “Hamilton” in this year’s competition for Tony Awards.
Heck, there isn’t even a strong “Band’s Visit.” That means the awards could be spread over a number of plays and musicals and give every show a little something to tout.
While the revival of “Sweeney Todd” is the hot ticket (Josh Groban is wowing audiences with that voice that didn’t get put to its fullest test with “The Great Comet”), a little show like “Kimberly Akimbo” could take home a handful of prizes, including Best Musical.
Among plays, “Leopoldstadt,” a look at a Jewish family before, during and after World War II, will be hard to best in most of its categories. It seems a lock for Best Play, Best Director and Best Featured Actor. Toss in craft awards and it could have at least five trophies to tout.
Here, by category, are the most likely to win and the show that could be a spoiler:
