Pundits' scorecard: Breakdown of Tonys predix

There's consensus among most Tonys gurus about the top races. Nearly all are picking "Spring Awakening" to win best musical, for example. (All except that daredevil guru Susan Haskins — you go, girl!) But there's much mayhem over the race for best lead actress in a play where there's also much on the line: If Angela Lansbury wins again, she'll tie Julie Harris as the biggest winner in the Tony Awards' history.

More predix are coming soon. Meantime, here's the input of Melissa Bernardo (Entertainment Weekly), Martin Denton (NYTheatre.com), Joe Dziemianowicz (NY Daily News), Andrew Gans (Playbill), Elysa Gardner (USA Today), Susan Haskins (Theater Talk), Andy Humm (Gay U.S.A.), Charles McNulty (L.A. Times), Tom O'Neil (TheEnvelope.com), Patrick Pacheco (L.A. Times), Paul Sheehan (TheEnvelope.com), David Sheward (Back Stage), Linda Winer (Newsday)
