>> There is nothing shocking about its Tony win. oh, i don't know. MM has many wonderful things going for it - a big one for this production being an indisputable star turn in robert preston - but it pales in comparison to WSS, which even in retrospect seems groundbreaking and revolutionary on almost every level. though ultimately you're right. 9 times out of 10 - and now that the pesky critics have been removed in favor of out of town bookers it can only get worse - the TONY tends to go to the commercial and conservative and very recently, more often than not, to the downright mediocre.
