Revival
Beauty and the Beast Elf Grease Legally Blonde My Fair Lady Oklahoma! South Pacific I think Sister Act will be eligible for the revival category. I don't believe productions at the Eventim Apollo are eligible, as it is not a SOLT venue.

The reviews for ''Orlando'', but especially Emma Corrin were so great that I'm wondering if they can beat Jodie Comer?

Excellent choice! She’s someone who has really advocated for West End performers whenever she’s been given the opportunity.

With the arrival of Standing At The Sky's Edge at the National this evening, I think we can safely assume that it'll be up for best new musical, which makes my prediction for the nominees the following:
Tammy Faye The Bands Visit Standing At The Sky's Edge Bonnie and Clyde OR Newsies

What a treat for us to have two musicals that are new and not full of broadway transfers! (joking!! kind of...!)

Tammy Faye will still sweep this

Even with that being true, Tammy Faye shouldn't sweep this

I do wonder if they'll keep actor/actress when people like Emma Corrin are no doubt strong contenders

The Tony's seem pretty set in having actor and actress this year so I'm fairly sure that will stay for us this year at least

I have to say I am surprised the they have not changed to genderless categories, I feel that the pause Covid created was an ideal chance for them to change it, and not just with the Olivier's. Some other awards have few categories but with a higher number of nominees in each category and I think this is probably the best idea.

Just look at the uproar at the Brit Awards and their move to a genderless Best Artist leading to an all male shortlist.
Given the way world drama over the centuries is biased towards male characters, it would be very possible to see all male shortlists for some acting awards.
I would not like to see a reduction in the number of awards being available as that is likely to disadvantage female actors more than their male counterparts.
So perhaps adding in a third category for acting is the only fair way forward. But we probably are some way off having enough trans/NB roles/actors for there to be sufficient competition. That may well change and could be unfair until the balance shifts but we shouldn't sacrifice female actors in the meantime.
Edit:. Ok. The WoS awards didn't erase women as winners. But they are not typical awards. The fanbase voting delivered some undeserved nominations and winners.
But I stand by the need to retain separate categories so as to protect representation.

But I stand by the need to retain separate categories so as to protect representation. just because you don't agree with the winners doesn't mean the WOSAwards didn't prove that gender neutral is at least feasible. if anything when a publicly voted awards – that doesn't have a panel overseeing the shortlist – manages to skew towards women, it proves that there's no erasure?

I want to see acting celebrated. That means acknowledging the best of the best each season.
The number of gender neutral roles and performers is currently tiny.
To do away with gendered awards at this point would reduce the opportunity for actors to win recognition from 4 categories to 2. That is not something I can support or welcome. It is a disproportionate response.
The recent Brit Awards shows the risks involved in doing that.
So let's add more categories even if the non gendered categories are small in terms of nominees and may not get awarded each year for a while.
But let us celebrate the majority as well as the minority.

Nothing from Orange Tree is on the list which is a bit odd as they are listed as paid up and eligible.

Oh. I thought Medea snuck in just in time to be eligible but it's missing from the list. I guess that means Sophie Okonedo is gonna win next year for Best Actress! (And likely against Sheridan Smith, should Shirley Valentine become a hit) They better have an NT Live/NT at Home treatment or even a Broadway transfer to sustain a longer life. Also, I’m surprised that both Jerusalem and Small Island are still eligible, even if the concept or the production values of the shows were the same as the original iteration. So if the cast is different (like in Small Island and the supporting roles in Jerusalem), it’s considered good enough as a revival?
