1960 was a very competitive year. Fiorello! and Gypsy were highly respected by the critical establishment, but The Sound of Music was incredibly popular with audiences -- any one of the 3 could have won by itself. Also, 1963 was a very competitive year. While none of the 4 shows were great, they were all very good. A Funny Thing, Oliver!, and Stop the World were big commercial hits, and Little Me would have been a hit if it had won. All 4 shows were strong contenders.
