The full and complete list below includes all 26 competitive categories for the 2019 Tony Award nominations. Those highlight in purple are triple nominees, having been nominated by the Outer Critics Circle and the Drama Desk as well.
I have also provided some additional notes for clarification, if you want to begin predicting the Tony winners. I've seen all of them, and reviewed most. I'll be discussing the nominees in separate upcoming reports on each of the categories.
Meanwhile, here's the list:
MUSICALS
Best Musical
“The Prom”
“Tootsie”
“Ain’t Too Proud”
“Beetlejuice”
“Hadestown” (Note: This top contender for a Tony was ineligible for a Drama Desk nomination because it had a previous Off Broadway production; OCC did nominate it, considering that there was sufficient differences from the Off Broadway run to deem it eligible under their rules.)
