The Lost Boys is far from perfect but my goodness it’s a masterpiece compared to Schmigadoon! Who on earth are these Tony voters?? Do they have eyes and ears?? They drop the ball every single year, but this one was a doozy.

How it anything lose to Schmigadoon??? Yes, it was a weak year, but that show is so subpar. Should’ve been Two Strangers. At least that was original.

So, what happened was, 850 people cast their votes for Best Musical at the Tony Awards. And, of those 850, more voted for Schmigadoon than The Lost Boys. Therefore, Schmigadoon was awarded the Tony for Best Musical over The Lost Boys. Hope that clears things up for you.

''Schmigadoon!'' also won Best Musical over ''The Lost Boys'' at the Outer Critics Circle Awards. And ''Schmigadoon!'' won Best Musical at the Drama Desk Awards, where ''The Lost Boys'' wasn't even nominated in that category.
