| There have been other nominees for shows that ran one performance, including Marian Seldes for Father's Day and Geraldine Brooks for Brightower, and there have been quite a number of nominees for shows that ran a week or less. There have been even been two winners, Dolores Gray and Zoe Caldwell, for shows that ran a week or less, although Gray won before there were nominees (at least before nominees were announced). The rules changed in later years, as the number of Tony voters expanded more and more and more. Even back in the early days, when only around 50 people voted, questions were sometimes raised about whether all the voters had seen all the nominated shows. |
