Now that the nominations are out, The Broadway Beat will begin analyzing the awards themselves. Today's award is Lighting Design in a Play. The 4 nominees are:
Japhy Weideman (Airline Highway)
Natasha Katz (Skylight)
Paule Constable (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time)
Paul Constable and David Plater (Wolf Hall Parts 1 & 2)
With two nominations, Paul Constable is the clear front runner in this category. Not only that, this category is fairly straight forward, as Curious Incident had one of the most intricately and dazzling lit sets ever on Broadway, and the lighting scheme was essential to the lighting of the show. Weideman and Katz don't stand much of a chance, but both were also nominated for lighting in a musical, which should be more competitive. Wolf Hall is probably the runner up for its stunning lighting design, and in any other season might have a realistic shot at winning, but this award is all but locked up already.
Tony odds:
Paule Constable (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time): 92%
Paul Constable and David Plater (Wolf Hall Parts 1 & 2): 6%
Natasha Katz (Skylight): 1%
Japhy Weideman (Airline Highway): 1%
