were announced Thursday by host James Monroe Iglehart, one category stood out: For Best Actor in a Musical, there was just a single nominee: Aaron Tveit, the star of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.” That means Tveit will almost certainly win the award.Why almost?According to the official rules, “If the Tony Awards Nominating Committee has determined that if there is only one nominee in a category listed, such category shall be submitted to the Tony Voters which may, by the affirmative vote of 60 percent of the total ballots cast, grant an Award in that category.”So Tveit will still need to secure 60 percent of the vote to win.A Tony Award acting category has never, in the history of the ceremony, had just one nominee.

Greg Evans Associate Editor/Broadway CriticAudiences moved to tears – actually, moved to sobs – were commonplace throughout last year’s nine-week Broadway run of Sea Wall/A Life, the pair of solo one-act plays starring, respectively, Tom Sturridge and Jake Gyllenhaal.
