My 70th Annual Tony Award Predictions

Howdy! How are you doing today? I figured with it being awards season and all I should maybe do my Tony predictions. Now these predictions are based on four things 1) My own opinion 2) Who was already been nominated for awards 3) What others have already predicted 4) The reviews. Are you ready? Let's begin with the design categories. *Notes: 1) My choice winners are in blue, 2) The people who I believe will win are in red 3) If the choice is in pink text then they are my personal choice winners and the people who I believe will win* I am honestly not excited for James Corden to be the host of this year's Tony Awards I kind of wish they went with a female host, but I'm still gonna watch it for Hamilton.
