Tony Watch 2015: Award for Best Play Revival

There are 4 days left until the Tonys, which means it's time to move on to the big 4 awards. We're going to start with the most up in the air category, Best Play Revival, where only one of the nominees is still open. The nominees are:

The Elephant Man
Skylight
This is Our Youth
You Can't Take It With You

This is essentially a three way race for the Tony (sorry This is Our Youth). Skylight has the advantage of still being open, along with the positive reviews it received. You Can't Take It With You received mostly rave reviews, but closed a long time ago and didn't have a massive blockbuster name, but rather a cast of well respected actors. The Elephant Man closed in fall, but is now running again in London, which may bring back some buzz. It received positive notices, but will likely be helped most by the raves Bradley Cooper received, and the attention he brings to the show. Between these three its really anybody's game.

Tony Odds:

Skylight: 35%
You Can't Take It With You: 33%
The Elephant Man: 31%
This is Our Youth: 1%
Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan in Skylight
