Handicapping the Tony Race Part 5: The Picks

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.
