List of Tony Noms/ My predictions

Please note: The only show I have seen out of the ones nominated is HAIR so my opinions may be really biased toward that musical and I don't know much about the plays but I do not think Waiting For Godot will do very well. SO excited for June 7th so I can see how well these predictions turn out!
