Summary
Sunday’s Tony Awards enter their final stretch as the official voting window closes and a news outlet asks readers to pick their winners across top Broadway categories.
Twelve nominations each put “The Lost Boys” and “Schmigadoon!” atop the best new musical race, with “Titaníque” and “Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York)” also in contention.
Acting contests highlighted in the poll include John Lithgow, Nathan Lane and Daniel Radcliffe for leading actor in a play, plus Rose Byrne, Kelli O’Hara and Lesley Manville for leading actress.
June 21 also looms for “Chess,” whose run is ending soon, adding urgency around Nicholas Christopher’s nominated performance before winners are announced on June 7.
