| Well...when the greatest musical of all time gets 9 nominations and no wins....It's had FOUR Broadway revivals, and the winner had ONE. The co-winner has never been revived on Broadway. The Tonys ??? And don't get me started on the Oscars. Ginger Rogers ??? No nomination for "Theme from NY,NY" ??? | |

| To be fair, "The Sound of Music" has proven to be the much more popular musical to the mass public. It may have only had one Broadway revival (which is surprising), but the film is a global phenomenon that was (is?) a rite of passage for many back when it was screened on TV pretty much every year. Arguably, it stands alongside "The Wizard of Oz" as the most iconic movie musicals ever made. "Gypsy" is a finer piece of art, but art generally doesn't triumph at the Tonys (or on Broadway in general). | |
