That's fair!

I think not all the shows I mentioned fit into the same accurate subcategories that exist under "jukebox" or "revue", I am just lumping together shows that do not have original scores of music and lyrics written for the show.

If JLJ were 1 of like 3 musicals of that category that were nominated or won, I'd feel your point more. But I listened 11 shows... Jelly's is certainly an outlier and in a category of its own in terms of how it used previous music and the intention and quality. But it's more the 10 other shows I'd put in the same category as Play On and Dream that I'm using as reasoning behind there being PLENTY of precedent for them being given a Best Musical nom if the Tonys committee thought The Life was so terrible.
So let's take Jelly's out of my post.
