| In the case of the 4 examples I listed, I meant to specify composer-lyricists of Best Musicals who never wrote another show. Thanks to posts by Seth, Alan and JohnPopa, I'm finding out about projects I've never heard of. And were never produced. (By the way, Smalls, Miller and Larson also won the Tony for Best Score; there wasn't such a Tony in Edwards' season.) |

| interesting that 1776 and Promises Promises were written by songwriters for whom these were their only Bway shows (and don't you think PP was the expected winner for the best musical Tony 1776 received) (I know Bacharach has noted he was finished with Bway because of his lack of control over the material) |

| I think Bacharach also didn't like the idea that the performance, being live, could change slightly from show to show, unlike a recording where it was captured to his specifications. It's kind of sad and bewildering in a way that he couldn't really enjoy having a smash hit on Broadway. | |

| Of course, Bacharach's Some Lovers (written with Steven Sater) could take him off this list. | |
