I wonder what the reason is......??!!?"
I have no idea WHY they chose to do this, but it was previously reported or rumored that they would not be inviting the Lortels, DDs, OCCs, DLs, etc. to consider it.
Perhaps the belief is "you can't lose an award if you aren't nominated" (even though it would probably stand a good chance of sweeping all Best Musical and Score awards)."
Probably the same reason the Jake/Annaleigh revival of Sunday withdrew from awards consideration:
The producers reportedly released a statement saying: “The producers of Sunday in the Park with George will not be submitting Hudson Theatre’s engagement of this New York City Center production for awards eligibility. With a season so full of tremendous, soon-to-be long-running new musicals and revivals, the producers feel this extremely limited, special run of Sunday stands most appropriately outside of any awards competition. The production is nevertheless proud to be part of such a landmark Broadway season.”
