“but crazily, she didn't even get Tony-nominated for playing Cunegonde or Amalia”


Well look at the competition those years:

1956
Judy Holliday (Bells Are Ringing)
Julie Andrews (My Fair Lady)
Ethel Merman (Happy Hunting)

1957 she wins for "The Music Man"

1964
Carol Channing – Hello, Dolly! as Dolly Gallagher Levi
Beatrice Lillie – High Spirits as Madame Arcati
Barbra Streisand – Funny Girl as Fanny Brice
Inga Swenson – 110 in the Shade as Lizzie Curry

not so crazy
