So true. I am just glad that year both shows got important awards, La Cage with the Tony and Sunday with the Pulitzer. I think Sunday got the higher, rarer, and more important honor, and it was well deserved. Rarely in other years where great shows compete are both given their due with two such awards... (but maybe I'm in the minority in thinking that Carousel, Gypsy, West Side Story, Follies, Assassins and Caroline or Change all deserved to win the Pulitzer Prize... though I wouldn't give it to WSS over Long Days Journey which won that year... but I would have given it to: Gypsy over J.B. Carousel over Harvey Follies over the Effect of Gramma Rays... Assassins over The Piano Lesson Caroline over Anna in the Tropics. Of course none of these were even finalists as far as I can tell. Hell I'd also have given it to Hair over nothing (if it were eligible in 1968, i'm not sure), and to Into the Woods over Driving Miss Daisy. I'd also have given it to Grey Gardens over nothing (and over the 3 finalists of 2006, and I might have made Passing Strange a finalist). And I'd have given it to Violet in 1997 over nothing. And I would have found a way to give it to Cabaret over nothing, even though it's not "about" America. I also think I would have at least made The Scotsboro Boys a finalist, if not a winner over Next to Normal.
