I understand, in that moment in time, why La Cage won... a statement about embracing an openly gay show, and about embracing old fashioned musical comedies.

And La Cage is a good score, but I don't think it's a great one.

As you said, SUNDAY is a shimmering masterpiece... and I do think that it was a mistake not to give it the Tony. It's absolutely one of the best scores ever written for a musical, in my opinion. I think the way La Cage swept and basically shut Sunday out is a true show. If it had gone more like it went in 1988, when Phantom won Best Musical but Into the Woods won score and book, I think it would have been more fair.
