I'd be shocked if these went to anyone but Robert Fairchild, Leanne Cope, and Christopher Wheeldon.  I love me some Tony Yazbek and Megan Fairchild too, but I think it's a pretty open and shut deal.  Meanwhile, why the hell are the Side Show girls nominated?  Chita does more dancing than they did and she's 82.

I don't know how Kristine Covillo and Stephen Hanna from On the Town missed out here while others who do far less got nominated. Some bizarre inclusions...

Does anybody know where to find a complete listing of winners for past years, back to the beginning? This isn't hard to pin down for most theater awards, but for whatever reason, it's very elusive with the Astaires. They have a website, but it has no complete archives, and if you try the "contact" links, nobody responds.

A friend and I have tried to compile such a listing, for our own amusement, from online references, press releases, and so on, but it's very incomplete (and some of the years look nonsensical for the production mentioned, while other years are missing altogether -- maybe some years went unawarded). Any information on this topic will be welcomed.
