"You drank a charm to kill John Proctor's wife! You drank a charm to kill Goody Proctor!" - Betty Parris to Abigail Williams in Arthur Miller's The Crucible
Is there any way that the London version can be licensed and they can replace Bow Down, Mister with Come On In From The Outside?

So did Spring Awakening. Even though I'm a MASSIVE SA fan, the book could be stronger. The Tonys sometimes just choose the lesser evil when none of the books are particularly good. This past year was one of them. And Grey Gardens should have won instead of SA for Best Book.
If anyone should have won ANYTHING for Spring Awakening's book, it's Frank Wedekind. Sater's win as basically a master of cut-and-paste was unprecedented.
"13" - Hysterical book, just not for the right reasons and wrong for the audience. "Spring Awakening" - Did you see Stephen Sater's acceptance speech? "Taboo" - Hot mess.
I am amazed at some of the shows listed here. Not the fact that they are listed, but that people have actually either seen the show or read the libretto sufficiently to judge. Greenwillow? Carrie? 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Taboo? Also some shows are listed that are more or less sung through. How can the score be better than the book? I actually thought Curtains should have won for Best Book, at least against the competition that year.
So can we add Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown to this list?

I liked the book for Women on the Verge. And I'm also a fan of the film. I've been a bit obsessed with the show since I saw it and after reading the opinions and views here, I was truly expecting a disaster. I'm so glad I ignored it all and went anyway.
