Tony Watch 2015: Award for Best Musical

The Tonys are tomorrow, which means we've hit the last category in our Tony countdown. Every year this is one of the most highly contested awards, with close races every year since Book of Mormon won it. This year is no different, where multiple shows have a solid shot, making it hard to pick a favorite. The nominees are:

An American in Paris
Fun Home
Something Rotten!
The Visit

At least we can remove one of these shows from contention. The Visit has a few dedicated fans, but not nearly enough to truly contend for the Tony. Something Rotten! could have a chance at the award, but it would be an upset, as many critics that reviewed the show felt it should have done an out of town run to polish it more first.

The two shows at the thick of the competition are Fun Home and An American in Paris. After a critically acclaimed run at the Public last year, when Fun Home announced a Broadway transfer it was instantly tabbed as the front runner for the season. However An American in Paris, which many expected to do poorly, received fantastic reviews and is doing great at the box office. It's really anybody's race at this point.

Tony Odds:

Fun Home: 44%
An American in Paris: 42%
Something Rotten!: 13%
The Visit: 1%
