To my knowledge, there were no stated rules or guidelines for the eligibility of a best score nomination in 1974. There was speculation by some theatre columnists that the Gigi score was eligible simply because the songs had never been sung in a stage show before so they were "new" to Broadway. Similarly, the score for The Who's Tommy was nominated and co-won the Best Score Tony in 1993 despite having been performed on various English and American stages for decades and in a film released in 1975.
The score for the 1974 Gigi did feature around 6 new songs including "The Contract", which is a stunning musical number that is made up of several different parts. Also, I believe a couple of the songs from the film had some new verses written specifically for the stage version. |
