Tony Watch 2016: Best Play Nomination Predictions

Next up in our Tony Watch series is the best play category. Because of the number of musicals that opened this year, there will be at least 4 nominees in this category, with potential for a fifth if there is a small enough difference in votes between the fourth and fifth options.

Best Play:

This category is about as straight forward as the best musical revival category when it comes to nominations. After solid reviews for The Father it would take a major upset for a show like Therese Raquin or An Act of God to get a nomination. However this will be one of the most exciting categories for the award itself, as all four shows have a realistic shot at the award, something that can't be said for almost any other category.

Eclipsed: 82%
The Humans: 80%
King Charles III: 78%
The Father: 65%
----------------------------------------------
Therese Raquin: 30%
An Act of God: 20%
Misery: 1%
China Doll: 1%
Our Mother's Brief Affair: 1%
