Looking back, I see ''Mack and Mabel'' got 8 Tony nominations in 1975, including Best Musical and Book, but pointedly not Score.

This show famously has book problems, but that was such a gigantic snub of Jerry Herman's tuneful songs, like ''I Won't Send Roses.''

Here's what WAS nominated for Score: ''The Wiz,'' which won; ''Shenandoah,'' ''A Letter From Queen Victoria'' and ''The Lieutenant.''

I've never heard the music to the latter two shows. Could they have been that much better than ''Mack and Mabel''?
