Broadway fans bemoaned the lack of leading men in musicals this year with only five eligible for consideration at the Tony Awards. While Paul Alexander Nolan (“Escape to Margaritaville”) was snubbed by the nominating committee, any of the four who reaped bids could win. Below, we break down the most competitive race in advance of Sunday’s ceremony
The frontrunner is Joshua Henry (“Carousel”). He leads with 7/4 odds to take home his first Tony Award. Henry has the backing of five experts as of this writing: Susan Haskins (Theater Talk), Gordon Cox (Variety), David Gordon (Theatermania), Jack Smart (Backstage), and Tom O’Neil (Gold Derby). After his Tony nominated turns in “The Scottsboro Boys” and “Violet,” voters may feel it’s finally time to reward the Broadway star who delivers a flawless interpretation of the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein number ‘Soliloquy.’ Henry is the first actor to land a Tony nomination for the part.
