Morse got very good reviews and his character is very important to the story, although the role is not really a lead. He and Merkel were both billed (in very small letters) as "also starring" but below the title. The decision wasn't an egregious one (like the Rose nomination), but coming in the same year as the Bosley situation, it makes the Tonys look bad. I'm guessing Merrick wanted 3 Best Musical Actor Nominations to promote the show as much as possible. There was a lot of competition that season.
As it turned out, it took Take Me Along 17 years to recoup (according to Suskin). |
