Elaine Stritch was nominated for Leading Actress as Joanne in 1971. So was Susan Browning for her April. Helen Gallagher won for No No Nanette.
Pamela Myers and Barbara Barrie were nominated for supporting. Patsy Kelly won it for No No Nanette.
Reasoning??
It really doesn’t seem that Joanne or April are leads, but, in the original performances, the roles seemed like star roles because both gals were incandescent. |
