The OHenry Team’s 2016 Tony Award Predictions
Over the past six weeks, I have been tracking the Tony nominees as they vied for their chance to hear their name called Sunday night. Earlier this week, I reported on the final odds in each category. Now, I place my bets on who I think will walk away with the medallion. I’m also sharing with you the picks from the rest of the OHenry team, Chris Schembra and Krista Ray. We’ve got a little pool going in the office and they think they can best me this year. We’ll see about that.
