| For anyone interested, the 2018 Off West End Theater Awards nominated 3 productions for Best Musical Production: The Life, Hair, and Working. (As I said, The Life won) Interestingly, also nominated for awards that year were productions of Bubbly Black Girl, Death Takes a Holiday, Yank!, Tick Tick Boom, Promises Promises, The Woman in White, Top Hat, Salad Days, and new musicals I've never heard of My Land's Shore and Superhero. None of them were nominated for Best Musical Production. The Life won and was also nominated for Best New Musical. So this award has two Best Musical categories... Best Musical Production and Best New Musical. The Life was nominated in both categories. As was Death Takes a Holiday... The Life and Maury Yeston can't stop competing against each other! Both lost New Musical to "Superhero" which is a one man musical (from the bit i saw googling it, it's a bit hard to believe it beat the shows it beat, but I haven't seen it). *** Also to add onto what I said about how the Tonys didn't have to nominate The Life by default because, besides J&H, there were 2 notable jukebox musicals it could have given a Best Musical nom to, if not both, and how the Tonys had already given Best Musical to revue/jukebox musicals Ain't Misbehavin and Crazy For You... it had also given it to Jerome Robbins Broadway (in a very weak year, weaker than 97 by a mile, but still), and nominated several other jukebox musicals for Best Musical: Side by Side by Sondheim, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Dancin, Leader of the Pack, Big Deal, Black and Blue, Jelly's Last Jam, Smokey Joe's Cafe, and Swingin On a Star... and i probably missed one or two. |
