And those shows were not about gay cartoonists and their lesbian daughters. Those shows were also built on popular properties, and had music that was familiar to its audience. Much more popular appeal. I quite like "Fun Home" and think it could do well on Broadway, but their opening date suggests, to me, that the producers don't think it will have the legs to run without awards. Tessori and Krohn might pick up the score award, but they are going up against Sting. More likely, Krohn might pick up Best Book, which we know does nothing for box office (see "Passing Strange", still my favorite musical of the last ten years). And while the Pulitzer is prestigious, it is not an indicator of Tony success. And as we have long seen, the smaller shows have a real hard time competing against the big, audience pleasing, famous name attached musicals.
