I recently came across this production after not seeing it since it aired on PBS almost 20 years ago. I remember loving it then, and still did upon rewatch, despite a few lines and bits that don’t hold up as well in our 2021 cultural landscape. But, for me, many of the performances are still A+.
My question: Why didn’t it receive any Tony noms in 2002? I was surprised to see that not one of the actresses got a nod, nor Mizrahi (who did win the Drama Desk that year) for his costumes. Was it very poorly received in New York and among Tony voters? |
