| Regarding your comment: "Interestingly, Ohio State Murders is eligible as a Revival, BUT Adrienne Kennedy will also be eligible as playwright, so I guess you can have both." I'm not sure what you mean by that. Awards are given for Best Play and Best Revival of a Play, but there's not a separate award for Best Playwright. It's not unheard-of for the Best Revival of a Play award to go to a production of a play by a living writer (it happened last year with Take Me Out) but officially the award is presented to the producer. |

| I'm well aware of the precedent and who normally gets the Tony for a Play Revival. That's why I said "Interestingly." I didn't make this up - I'm just repeating what the Administration Committee decided: "Ohio State Murders will be considered eligible in the Best Revival of a Play category. Adrienne Kennedy will be considered eligible as author." For whatever reason (presumably because she wasn't eligible for a Tony before for this play), if Ohio State Murders wins Best Revival, Adrienne Kennedy will share that award with the Producers. (And to my points elsewhere on this thread - this is not the norm, thus is the reason they mention it explicitly. For all other revivals, the author(s) don't share the award.) |

| There was a tweak to the play revival rules several years back, giving the award to the author in addition to the producers in certain situations. (I don't remember the exact details and don't have time to check right now...but something like the author's alive and the play hasn't been on Broadway before...maybe after Larry Kramer wasn't actually included in the award for The Normal Heart? Or so that he would be?) | |

| Thank you! Now that you mention this it’s coming back to me that this rule had changed. And yes- you’re right. I looked it up and the playwright can’t have been Tony-eligible before, and also must be alive. | |
