The ceremony for the 79th Annual Tony Awards is scheduled for June 7, 2026. This market will resolve according to the listed show that wins the award for Best Book of a Musical at the 79th Annual Tony Awards. If, for any reason, no winner is declared by August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or in case of a tie for the winner, this market will resolve in favor of the listed contender whose title comes first in alphabetical order. The resolution source will be the television broadcast of the Tony Awards and the official Tony website (https://www.tonyawards.com/); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Schmigadoon! holds a commanding lead in the Best Book of a Musical market thanks to its status as the season’s best-reviewed new production and a 12-nomination haul that ties it atop the field. Cinco Paul’s book has earned widespread critical praise for its affectionate homage to golden-age musical comedy, bolstering voter sentiment ahead of the June ceremony. Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) sits second on the strength of its eight nominations and solid reviews, while Titaníque benefits from a cult following but trails in overall momentum. The Lost Boys, despite matching Schmigadoon!’s nomination total, lags in book-specific buzz. With the Tonys imminent, guild and critics’ awards will likely reinforce or shift these trader-implied probabilities in the final days.
