Very interesting and feel Plunkett in this category just bumped Eden Espinosa possibly out of the top 5! I had Plunkett in Best Featured Actress Musical ...she had a better chance there winning.
Best Actress Musical
Maleah Joi Moon (Hell's Kitchen)
Kelli O'Hara (Days of Wine and Roses)
Gayle Rankin (Cabaret)
Shaina Taub (Suffs)
Maryann Plunkett (The Notebook)
Question is, could we have a 6th slot? I doubt it unless Eva Noblezada (The Great Gatsby) gets raves or could possibly take Shaina's spot?
I do think the Tony will go to Maleah Joi Moon.
