| But how could anyone have given the Tony to Orbach for Promises Promises over Daniels in 1776?! Beyond the level of challenge of the roles, not only is John Adams the indisputable lead of 1776, he is the ONLY lead. Everyone else is supporting or featured in 1776... but Promises at least has 2 lead roles. AND 1776 is a much better and more impactful/memorable musical, if you ask me (and history/culture, as it would seem). And it WON Best Musical! That year baffles me... for this reason AND the criminal and bizarre exclusion of a BEST SCORE category when the eligible scores included: 1776, Hair, Zorba, Promises Promises, AND Dear World!! It was one of the best years for a Best Score category... ever? And I don't know why they'd not want the chance to give 1776 the top prize but give Hair best score, and show the awards are down with new styles and young audiences and progress etc. And Hair deserves a Best Score Tony (any of those aforementioned shows deserves one honestly - Zorba is one of K&E's finest scores, top 4 for me even now when there are 9 other scores to pick from (for me it's Cabaret, KOTSW, Chicago, Zorba) and Dear World is one of Herman's finest scores too even if the show failed... either score is Tony worthy, as are the others, including 1776 even if the book outshines it). I'm sure i've asked this before and if anyone answered i didn't retain it... why did this happen? There's nothing about it on the wiki page for that year or the award in general. |
