Great Score, Shame About The Book — Page 6

Legally Blonde - catchy score, bad, bad book

I'm gonna say the Broadway version of Taboo.

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.

Naw, T.S. Elliot's win for Cats was probably my favorite win in the book category. Then again, at least he actually wrote the poems.

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?
