On Broadway, there was one song in The Good Doctor. There seems to have been at least one more when it opened out of town. On Broadway, the play was preceded by a 20-minute concert of music by Peter Link, and there must have been some incidental music. It was so long ago and I can't remember.
I think you're probably right that Link's Much Ado score was the first time that an incidental music score was nominated, but of course there are songs in Much Ado and other music called for, plus Link composed additional music, which I think was pretty much all there in the television production. I can't remember if the television production of The Good Doctor includes much or even any of the music, although I think it must include at least the song. |
