Do you think there’s a clear favorite?

GREEN “A Doll’s House, Part 2” got the most favorable reviews across the board, but it may be seen as the connoisseur’s choice. And the larger body of Tony voters are not necessarily connoisseurs, they’re business people. They may go for “Sweat” or “Oslo.” “Sweat” did win the Pulitzer recently — I served on the drama panel that nominated it.

BRANTLEY I’d be happy if either “Doll’s House” or “Oslo” won. “Doll’s House” is more adventurous, but the scale of “Oslo” is impressive, as is its ability to disseminate such intricate details of foreign policy without turning snoozy.

GREEN “Oslo” is also, all things considered, a feel-good show, even if history has disproved its optimism. Voters, like humans generally, often prefer that to an ambiguous ending.

The April rush to the Tonys deadline was especially intense this year and I’m sure both of you were bleary-eyed at the end (as were the Tony nominators). “Doll’s House” was the last show to open and got a lot of love. Did its arrival after a bunch of musicals help its cause?

BRANTLEY Well, I think it had the advantage of serving as a genuine stimulant after a couple of sleeping-pill shows (no names, “Anastasia” and “Charlie”). And what an upper to end on. Also, how great to see Laurie Metcalf in a part she can run (and I hope win) with.

Let’s talk musicals. Are there any sure things?

GREEN There are many sure things, or if not sure then sure enough. “Dear Evan Hansen,” which received nine nominations, will likely win two of the biggest: Best Musical and Leading Actor for Ben Platt. “Hello, Dolly!” which received 10, will very likely win Best Musical Revival and Leading Actress for Bette Midler. This even though “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812” got more nominations than either, with 12.
