Realized yesterday that, with ON THE TOWN and ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY in the Best Musical Revival category at the TONYs this year, we have two Comden & Green shows vying for the same prize.
I can't recall the last time this happened but surely this isn't the first instance.
Can anyone recall the last time two shows by the same writers/composers were up against each other for awards?
