It does keep the standard higher, but often they neglect to give it in years when there is at least one worthy play or musical... and sometimes when they do give it they do not choose one worthy over the other eligible selections that year. So I'm not sure they have really kept the standard high. And if any musicals were brilliant looks at American culture and the American experience, expressed through drama, it is Assassins and Hair. (i've certainly never seen the american dream so thoroughly and interestingly analyzed AND within the generally untold/unexplored parts of history as in Assassins, and the fact that they did it as a musical is all the more daring and apt)
