But in the case of “Disgraced,” it was that Lincoln Center production that moved to Broadway. If that wasn’t considered a new play, then no Off-Broadway transfer ever would be. (To penalize it by making it ineligible for new-play consideration because it won the Pulitzer would be bizarre.) That “felt” like the same new play in a way that, for example, the first Broadway run of “How I Learned to Drive” unquestionably did not.
I agree “Between Riverside and Crazy” feels more like a revival, but I think a case could be made for its being “new,” given that it’s been largely the same cast and director driving it to Broadway and it simply took a very long time to get there. If it’s determined to be a new play (doubtful), it would certainly be on the very furthest edges of the definition. |
