| I know YOU know all of the above, and were presumably just making a joke to make a point. So if my post seemed dogmatic or snarky it was only for the sake of making my own! Also… I may as well address this to you, since when I wrote my post 24 hours ago about predicting the Best Musical nominees correctly, I didn’t mean to gloat or be a know-it-all; I was mostly just surprised I guessed right for one of the first times ever. For whatever reason (pandemic? the glut of newly opened shows?) I just had a gut feeling the nominators this year wouldn’t reach back to fill the category with departed shows, but for the record I truly wish there had been 6 or even 7 nominees, and that both Here Lies Love and Days of Wine and Roses had both gotten in (possibly over some of the ones that did, not all of which I’ve seen). I’m on the record somewhere here saying that personally I don’t think Here Lies Love is that much more of an actual musical than Illinoise is – nor do I think it worked quite as well at the Broadway Theatre, spectacular as it was, as at the Public years ago. But that’s only my take, and either way it doesn’t mean that the show itself and some of those performers didn’t deserve to be remembered along with the score and design elements. |
