According to Playbill, AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY did in fact win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Cool.

Well, yeah, it is always a shock when an award goes to a deserving party.

Especially the Pulitzer. I mean really, some of their choices recently...

uncageg, to answer your question: No. There wasn't a winner two years ago.

Coolkid --

We have to wait until next year when the final performance of Rent will win the Pulitzer.

Thank you frogs! That's why I was asking because I remember there not being a show awarded in recent years. Congrats to August: Osage County. I deserves it. A great play that I hope to see again!

>>What show won for the musical?

The prize is for drama in general. There is no prize for "the musical." They sometimes give a musical the award, but it doesn't happen often.

Last time it happened they made quite a mistake so in a way it's good they are taking their time to award it to a musical again (though of course the fact that CAROLINE, OR CHANGE didn't even get a nomination is a travesty).

And know that TONY race is over.
When SOUTH PACIFIC wins the revival award (well, I think it will)
We will have two Pulitzer winners in the Best categories.
Has that happened before?

Horton Foote is fuming right now.

I mean, not even a semifinalist?

I guess it really is a revival, no matter what he wants it to be.
