You're welcome, BroadwayTonyJ. I forgot to include the Best Actor thing, so thanks for mentioning that. (Was it cut from the tape?)
As a fellow Tony buff, I figured you'd get a kick out of this. I also noticed some of those other things, like Morse only mentioning Peters' name and not the other children. (For the record, Wikipedia also only lists Peters under 1960 Tony Awards.) I know Peters played Liesl, but how did she rate being listed over everyone else? Even at Tonys.org, Peters is listed first, and then the other kids parenthetically. … More importantly, how did 7 kids, including 2 boys (William Snowden and Joseph Stewart), get collectively nominated for Featured Actress? Are Snowden and Stewart the only male actors ever Tony-nominated in a female category? And why didn't the Tonys just give ''The Sound of Music'' children a special Tony instead?
By the way, the 1960 Tony Awards were posted at YouTube by MissPoochSmooch, who also posted them for 1961 and 1967-2016. |
