Best Costume Design of a Musical:
This category is usually a pretty straight forward one, where you can guess a few of the nominees. As with most categories, Hamilton is the favorite to win this year and should score a nomination. She Loves Me and Shuffle Along also have exciting, period based costumes and seem like logical nomination options. After that, it depends which direction the committee wants to go. On Your Feet has very flashy dazzling costumes, Tuck Everlasting's costumes are varied and very relevant to the movement and message of the show, While Fiddler, Bright Star and American Psycho have less showy but very well designed costume pieces.

She Loves Me (Jeff Mahshie): 75%

Best Costume Design of a Play:
Though there are no plays with elegant period costumes, like Wolf Hall last year, there are still some frontrunners in this category. The bottom 7 potential nominees all have very understated costuming, while the next 7 have costumes that are relevant to the period or style of the show, but not showy enough to attract much nomination attention.
King Charles III and Therese Raquin are the frontrunners, with bigger showier costume pieces. Eclipsed is on the other end of the spectrum, with very raggedy costumes for the poor women of the show. The Crucible has a mix of period and modern costumes that are incorporated into the direction, and Noises Off had the most colorful pieces of the season. Any of the 5 could grab a nomination depending what the voters are looking for. Usually we'd get some help from other awards, but the only show to get a costume in a play nomination was King Charles at the Outer Critics Awards.
King Charles III (Tom Scutt): 80%
Therese Raquin (Jane Greenwood): 80%
Eclipsed (Clint Ramos): 65%
The Crucible (Wojciech Dziedzic): 60%
