re: Snarkiest Tony Award acceptance speech?
The Broadway documentary series that PBS did in 2004 perpetrates the myth about the Jerry Herman speech being a slam against Sondheim. They placed it immediately after they showed the finale for Sunday in the Park, and then showed Sondheim's face immediately before the speech. They might as well have posted a banner saying JERRY HATES STEVE. It was absolutely inferred, unfortunately. (Julie Andrews' delivery didn't help, either.)
