Tony Watch 2015: Award for Best Musical Revival

This award is usually fairly straight forward simply because there aren't usually very many musical revivals. In the 3 of the past 5 years There haven't even been a full four nominees. This year is a little more competitive because of a few well reviewed shows. The nominees are:

The King and I
On the Town
On the Twentieth Century

On the Town is the odd man out here. though it got good reviews, they weren't as stellar as the other two, and it has been open for much longer, losing a lot of its buzz. That leaves The King and I and On the Twentieth Century competing for the Tony. Both shows have a lot in common, a Tony nominated veteran actress as a leading lady, an extravagant nature, and excellent reviews being a few. However, if you look at the amount of nominations each show received this year, The King and I received 9 while On the Twentieth Century only received 5, which could be telling for the award race.

The King and I: 51%
On the Twentieth Century: 37%
On the Town: 12%
