We’ve spent the last six weeks tracking the 2017 Tony Awards race. Here are our predictions in each category.
My predictions are based on our data analysis, combined with my own feelings and hunches of the races.
The picture represents my prediction in the category. Underneath I shared the picks from the rest of the OHenry team, Chris Schembra and Krista Ray. We’ve got a little pool going in the office again this year. Last year Chris managed to tie me with his predictions. He thinks he can best me this year. We’ll see about that.
