Is there anything to actually say about this though? Zephyrprince 11:50, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I could probably add a very brief introduction (something like Tony Award for Best Original Score or Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical, but I don't really see it as being terribly necessary. The page is valuable as a list, and it's probably more useful to finish up the information on the nominees than to write a preamble. Kevin M Marshall 14:18, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Could we add a multiple win section like Tony Award for Best Original Score? MikeyB! 19:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

The Tony for Best Musical is technically given to the producers of the show; however, producers in the modern era aren't usually thought of as being terribly significant to the artistry of the show--nowadays, they're just open pocketbooks. And I don't see why Best Musical awards should be credited to the composer, lyricist, or bookwriter; they have the score and book awards to directly measure their contributions.
