Cabaret being the worst reviewed revival of the season was certainly not on my 2023-24 Broadway Bingo card! The Friedman sisters have surely been sleeping well this week.
This has just been a very strange Broadway season for musicals, and I really don't know what to expect at the Tony's (aside from major wins for Merrily).

It's on the books! Sweet Charity has won against Les Misérables with a difference of 1.4%.
If anyone is wondering how this could have possibly occurred, it's probably because Sweet Charity has had one of the most robust campaigns any musical has ever had in these tournaments while Les Mis hardly had any campaign at all, except for a last ditch effort 6 days in after Sweet Charity took the lead.
I'd guess that's because it was generally assumed Les Mis would win, but I can't say for sure.
The double-elimination system saves Les Mis from total elimination, but Les Mis fans (or fans of any big musical on here) should be warned not to get complacent if they hope to win.
