Tony Watch 2016: Best Choreography Nomination Predictions

We continue our look at the creative team nominations with the choreographers!

Best Choreography:

This race is likely going to come down to Andy Blankenbuehler and Savion Glover, and both should be considered locks for nominations. The rest of the field gets complicated though. There are some definite non-contenders that can be eliminated easily, as their shows are not very dance heavy (the bottom 5 shows). The rest of the pack all has a realistic shot though, especially since this category will have five nominees.

Dames at Sea may drop and being closed for a few months, though if they get a nomination it would be in choreography, as the show was very dance heavy. Fiddler's choreography got positive reviews, but much of it was borrowed from previous productions which may hurt its chances. On Your Feet! is filled with exciting dances and seems like it will have a good chance at a nom. Spring Awakening's incorporation of sign language gives it a unique angle, which may push it into a nomination as well. American Psycho, Tuck Everlasting and She Loves Me also have large stretches of intense choreography, and could be fighting it out for a nomination.
