This year's group of nominees for costume design in a musical is filled with elegant costumes and big names, but luckily there is a front runner to help us out on our predictions. The nominees are:
Bob Crowley (An American in Paris)
Catherine Zuber (The King and I)
Gregg Barnes (Something Rotten!)
William Ivey Long (On the Twentieth Century)
William Ivey Long may be the most respected costume designer in Broadway history, and as such he will always be a contender when he gets a nomination. However, this year the Tony will more likely go to one of the other big name costume designers. Bob Crowley has a shot at the award, but his chances are more realistic for his costume design for The Audience, where he is the front runner. The most likely winner here is Catherine Zuber, purely because of the volume of extravagant costumes she made for The King and I, and the quality with which she made them. Gregg Barnes did a fair job making costumes for Something Rotten! but a few large codpieces likely won't win him the Tony.
Tony Odds:
Catherine Zuber (The King and I): 57%
Bob Crowley (An American in Paris): 30%
William Ivey Long (On the Twentieth Century): 10%
Gregg Barnes (Something Rotten!): 3%
