A theater critic's opinionated guide to the Tony Awards:
who ought to win for her by turns adorable and maddening portrait of an open-hearted, strong-willed grandmother succumbing to dementia in Kenneth Lonergan’s “The Waverly Gallery.”
It seems almost unfair to single out any of the five superlative nominees for featured actress in a musical. But, who plays Ado Annie as a bubbly, wheelchair-riding flirt in Daniel Fish’s boldly unconventional revival of “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Oklahoma!,” has a slight edge. Santino Fontana, the prohibitive favorite for lead actor in a musical, has so successfully reinvented the role of Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels in “Tootsie” that Dustin Hoffman ought to present the award. The featured actor in a musical category is filled with nothing but winners, but if André De Shields doesn’t get the Tony for his slick and smooth narrator-preacher turn in “Hadestown” I will declare, à la Trump, that the contest is rigged.
