Hamilton OBCR- Grammy Album of the Year? Nov 8
2015, 12:09:09 AM
And yes, the OBCR of "Funny Girl" was nominated in 1965, but so was Barbra's "People" album. That may have split some votes, and the award went to Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto, in a rare win for a jazz album.

Hamilton OBCR- Grammy Album of the Year? Nov 8

Note that the OBCR of "Jesus Christ Superstar" was nominated for Album of the Year in 1973, but didn't win. Conventional folklore has it that Grammy voters either thought they were nominating the original studio cast recording (which was eligible in a prior year), or were trying to make up for not n

This is their very first traditional musical to be Jeff-eligible, and yes, it was "Jeff Recommended," which means that voters are urged to see it.

2015 Grammy Nominees for Best Musical Theater Album Nominees Feb 8

The Grammy goes to the Best Musical Tony winner about half of the time. When it doesn't, the Tony win that correlates to the Grammy most often is Best Actress. That was true this year, as well as for "Wicked" and "Dreamgirls," to name just two other examples. There have been odd wins, but they are usually explained by some connection to the recording industry, or to huge popularity.
