This season, Encores! spawned two serious contenders that are sure to score nominations: “Into the Woods,” in a hearty staging of Sondheim’s favorite with a cast stacked with Broadway names, and “Parade,” bringing the well-received musical to life. seen from Jason Robert Brown in an enlightening new version with a solid cast led by Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond.

Both shows feature large, lush orchestras — and so does ‘Sweeney Todd,’ which brings back Sondheim’s awfully beloved penny with a particularly beefy band of musicians and a powerful vocal ensemble led by Josh Groban and Annaleigh. Ashford.

The latest staging of “Camelot,” featuring a new book by Aaron Sorkin, was less well received overall, but it’s impeccably laid out and beautifully played by another full-scale orchestra. It looks set to oust the other eligible titles in this category, “1776” and “Dancin'”, neither of which were universally adored.
