Final Tony Predictions: Best Actress in a Play -- Jessica Chastain or Jodie Comer Will be Halfway to EGOT Status After the Tonys, but Which One?
Like the competition for lead actor in a play, the race for leading actress is neck-and-neck. All four performers in the category are doing deserving work, but in conversations with voters, it comes down to two starry candidates: Comer and Chastain.
Comer has the wow factor going for her: In “Prima Facie,” her solo performance is a master class of actorly technique, moving at a breakneck pace through multiple characters and harrowing events with an unerring control of pacing across the show’s 100-minute runtime. The play itself has heft, too, tackling urgent issues of violence against women and the inadequacy of the law’s response to it.
Chastain’s performance in “A Doll’s House,” meanwhile, gets voters’ attention with the intensity of its focus and the rich emotional life she conveys despite, or perhaps because of, the production’s extraordinary physical constraints.
Both actors have strong support, and each is discussed like she’s poised to win. At the Drama Desks, Chastain won for leading actress in a play and Comer won for solo performance . At the Tonys, give the barest of margins to Comer for the showier of the two achievements.
