I hated the way the Tonys handled this season. Even if they went purely by billing, they've always had the discretion to bump up performers.
And Kurt Knudsen, now put in Featured, was playing Sid in ''Take Me Aong'' - a role that won Jackie Gleason a Tony for Best Actor in a Musical.
As Michael 212 and I both noted below, they could've filled those categories. And it was a slap in the face to that season's choreographers, too.
Possible nominees: MIchael Peters (''Leader of the Pack''), Dan Siretta (''Take Me Along''), Janet Watson (''Big River''), Lester Wilson (''Grind'').
Nor were the Tonys locked into a mandatory 4 nominees, since they nominated only 3 shows for Score. (Could've included a 4th: ''Harrigan.'') |
