This is TOUGH! This category is always so good and solid to me. Seriously, ANYONE could win. I am not a huge fan of Green Day... Not hating on them, but I just can't really get into their music and was very skeptical when the musical came out. I also think their rock and pop background will help their musical in this particular category. It just seems obvious to me here. Musically, I can most personally feel, live and thrive my way through FELA! - I just love all the rhythm, and again - the material was a pleasant surprise when adapted into this modern masterpiece of theatre and dance.
For this category, because it is so good, I am listing the full nominations list for it.
