| I don't think there was any conspiracy to shut him out. But he had been hugely successful in the 60s with 2 shows that were seen as middle of the road star vehicles. Then came some big disappointments like DEAR WORLD and GRAND TOUR. I think he was perceived as passe in the world of Sondheim and pop rock musicals. How else could a show like THE LIEUTENANT (of which no one knows a single song) or a Robert Wilson piece with music could be nominated over a score like MACK AND MABEL? |
