| I couldn’t find a list of shows that won the tony and Grammy. I think it usually happens like hamilton, bands visit, hadestown and dear Evan Hansen. But beautiful won over gentleman’s guide. And then there are different years competing. Moulin rouge lost Grammy to hadestown recording and moulin isn’t in same tony season. Tina wasn’t nominated. I do think this years completion is between MR and JLP. If I were a voter it’s a tough call on spectacle vapid production or meaningful smallish musical. I think I would vote for JLP but I think MR will win. | |

| When it comes to Broadway cast albums and film soundtracks, the Grammys have a very spotty history. I'm pretty sure most respected theatre and film historians consider them a joke. It's obvious that for certain years, the Grammy nominators and voters had no understanding of what they were nominating or voting on. Of course, there were many years when there was one very obvious choice for best Broadway cast album or best film soundtrack -- in those particular years the Grammys gave the award to the consensus recording. | |

| Among the more puzzling, the 1997 winner for Best Musical Theater Album: The Grammys picked ''Riverdance'' over ''Rent.'' And the Tony winners for Best Score that didn't even get a Grammy nomination, include: ''Urinetown,'' ''Memphis'' and ''Next to Normal.'' Tony-winning Best Musicals usually do well, but sometimes even they miss: ''Billy Elliot's'' cast album wasn't even nominated. |

| Yeah, Riverdance over Rent was a ludicrous choice. I'm also a big original soundtrack guy. In 1961--62 Henry Mancini had a lot of clout with the Grammys and a lot of pull with movie studios. He convinced Paramount to not release an actual soundtrack recording from the existing musical elements of their hit film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Instead Mancini made an album of music emphasizing the jazz elements of his score. Because Audrey Hepburn's vocals were contained on the film's original musical tracks, she was not allowed to re-record them for Mancini's album so "Moon River" was sung by a chorus. The album was simply called "Breakfast at Tiffany's" -- Music from the Motion Picture Score. It's a very enjoyable album -- I bought the LP in '62 and the CD re-issue in '89 -- but it sure isn't a SOUNDTRACK. Nevertheless, it was awarded the Best Soundtrack Grammy in 1962. The award probably should have gone to Dimitri Tiomkin's The Guns of Navarone, which is an excellent score, and its recording was an actual soundtrack. In 2013 decades after the passing of Mancini and Hepburn, Intrada Records finally got the rights to Breakfast at Tiffany's original musical elements and Hepburn's vocals so we finally got the actual soundtrack recording on CD. It's great! |

| Since ''Moulin Rouge!'' and ''Jagged Little Pill'' didn't go head-to-head at last night's Grammys, I don't know if that really tells us anything. One of the few times that ''Moulin Rouge!,'' ''Jagged Little Pill'' AND ''Tina'' competed was at the Drama League Awards, and ''Moulin'' won. A couple weeks ago, GoldDerby.com's contributors David Buchanan and Sam Eckmann debated the many Musical categories at the Tonys. They were predicting the ''quintessential, escapist, feel-good'' ''Moulin Rouge!'' to take the top prize and sweep the design categories. However, post-pandemic, they could foresee how ''Jagged Little Pill'' could pull off an upset if it's seen as the ''more important'' musical. Buchanan and Eckmann also think the four acting prizes will be spread among the three shows. (The winners look like locks. Or are they?) |

| I think the musical acting winners are pretty much set: Aaron Tveit, Adrienne Warren, Lauren Patten, and Danny Burstein. The play acting winners, on the other hand, are anyone's guess. I don't think any of them are locks, except Lois Smith. |
