| In the immortal words of Timmy Lupus from The Bad News Bears: "Just wait till next year!" (Sometimes only the classics will suffice.) Congratulations on being nominated—truly an impressive feat in itself. |

| Ha! Yes, a classic—and most of it filmed here in my blazing hot Valley (I’ve eaten at that Pizza Hut; it’s a mile from my house and is a Panda Express now.) And again, I’m overwhelmed at the nomination alone. I knew there were a good number of Broadway fans in the science fiction community; I’ve done panels at sf cons relating to theatre history and musicals with themes related to speculative fiction. But the Sidewise was a long, long shot in my mind. Thanks again, all. I’m going to print out all this responses and save them for “when I’m aw’fully low, when the world is cold” as Dorothy Fields put it. Laura, boldly predicting with Timmy Lupus, that Harry will bring home the Sidewise next year for THREE MILES DOWN |

| I think Georgia and Wisconsin have fraudulent elections—oops, wrong election. Is it still an honor to be nominated? 😜 |

| I strongly suspect the internationally known French writer who defeated me has not had the outpouring of love in his congratulation notices as I have here. It’s a cliché, but it’s true: it was a terrific, unexpected honor to be a finalist. That the Committee recognized an alternate history that’s really alternate MUSICAL THEATRE HISTORY is astonishing. And I will be thrilled to hang my Finalist certificate next to Harry’s Sidewise Awards; he won the very first one, for RULED BRITANNIA (in which Shakespeare and Lope de Vega collide in Spanish-occupied England!). Thanks again, all! Laura in LA |
