It's interesting that you start your list at 1972. Follies still won best score, and Verona beat out out two shows which are certainly more "commercial": Grease - which would go on to become the longest running broadway show - and Jesus Christ Superstar - which despite being quite a phenomenon was not even nominated for the top prize.

I laughed out loud when I scrolled down and noticed the "undead" category.

It really frustrates me that so many people have written this off as merely a kids show

Wait, so they've removed the proscenium and dome, which had been retained from the original Lyric and Apollo theatres?

I'm so glad someone already mentioned TIMBUKTU

What's the chance that she'll appear at the Tonys in character, maybe something like the 2012 opening number?

Pirates is probably their only show with the necessary pizzazz for today's theatre scene, however I'm very partial to both Patience and Gondoliers (which has their best score, IMHO)

Someone should check in with the producers of BOM, they must be taking this badly.

Two for the price of one, my friend.

 

Pia Zadora, obviously

Justify your opinions, people!

The performances on the COCO album aren't the issue. It's the constant hiss, the inconsistent volume levels and the inexplicable train sound effect.

Although I'm not a fan of the way Ms. Hepburn sings "who the devil caaAARES..."

BRAVO

 

Reading that other thread reminded me - has anyone ever encountered a recording (or sheet music, anything really) of "Come and be my butterfly"?

There's a difference between being a jerk and a criminal, my dear friend.

Just recently saw a classic phone-continues-to-ring-after-it's-been-answered, always one of my favorites

Do we think that they'll actually try to work in Waterloo this time round?

The notion of having Superstar performed in front of it's subject matter is definitely worth exploring further.
