The MUSIC MAN is a terribly blah production, but folks are still running to the theater + the star power might sway voters, cause nothing else about that show is appealing.
I hate I didn't see CAROLINE, but I heard wonderful things. With that said, I also heard disappointment is the feel of this production. Wish I saw for myself.
So, outside of the Katrina critiques, my and others' impressions of the show have been great. Ms. Lenk's weak performance can't possibly take down the entire production, can it?
With all that said, if I was the producer and we had the cash, with a good chance of winning the Tony + Sondhiem passing and increased interest in him, I would record the Broadway cast album. I think this is wise.
Also, unless the principals transfer with the show to Broadway (like PHANTOM), I just believe you have it in your budget to record the cast. Even if it's a live thing, like SIX. (Thought that was a super smart idea/solution btw.)"
The combined factors that everyone perceives this as a quality production, in some senses a spectacular reinvention AND it is the last revival to have Sondheim's input (almost bringing his career full circle, as the original production of Company marked the arrival of Sondheim in his full maturity as composer/lyricist on Broadway) clinches it as the Tony winner. I can't imagine The Music Man being a serious challenger in any way.

I find this perplexing. There have to be plans but they've been placed on the back burner by covid and variants and trying to hold steady through awards season.
I say have to for all the reason everyone gave. It's a different cast, incredible cast, new orchestrations, the final show Sondheim was here / tinkered with, it's a show already well-captialized and full-sized. It would be such a shock and shame if they didn't make sure it was recorded.
