While a number of big categories seem up in the air this year (Best Musical particularly), there are still nominees who are more likely to win than others. But which dark horses would you be thrilled to see take home a Tony on Sunday?

I'd love Kelli O'Hara or Brian D'Arcy James or Bebe Neuwirth to take it in their categories

As long as Kara Young gets her Tony, I could give fork-all who else gets theirs.

If the Merrily Trio doesn't win, that would be a huge shock in my opinion.
Also, I am rooting for Stereophonic to win Score.
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

Illinoise for Best Musical
Whitney White for Best Direction of a Play
Brian d’Arcy James
Kelli or Maryann
I don’t know who’s favored to win, but if Illinoise wins Orchestrations, I’ll be fine with any other outcome in any category.

Would still love for Purlie to win revival. Appropriate was excellent and isn't a bad winner by any means, but there was something special about that production of Purlie that made it even better.

Illinois - Best New Musical
Bebe Neuwirth - Supporting (Nothing against Mendez, I was just particularly moved by Bebe.)
Kelli O'Hara
Kara Young
Not sure if either of the above would even be considered upsets at this point.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I hope Bebe wins.
I didn't see Cabaret but when I paid full price to see Merrily Lindsey was out so I can't root for her.

My hope is that Eden, Amber, Riccardo Hernández and Peter Nigrini all win for Lempicka. Now that would be an upset.

I'd like to think Jonathan Groff would be thrilled to lose a Tony to Brian D'Arcy James finally getting his due :)

Illinoise or Outsiders for Best Musical. (Don’t know if that’s really an upset in such an open category.)

I paid full price twice and she was out both times. I am actively rooting against her.
