Sure. And if Kelli O’Hara had won for light in the piazza or South Pacific she wouldn’t have won for King and I

I am asking if the tony committee saw south pacific as groundbreaking. And the direction of the R&H was getting old and tired by the time My Fair Lady happened .

I think so, because I don't think the bands visit had the best direction, and Arden over directed OOTI. But who knows?

What is the point of such a completely hypothetical question?

Yup. This really is a pointless thread.

Would he HAVE won?

What can utterly ridiculous consideration, even when grammatically correct.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

There are more and more people who SHOULD HAVE gone to grammar school for writing SHOULD OF.

If he hadn't directed South Pacific and King & I, LCT/Sher wouldn't have done MFL. It's been reported that there was sort of a bidding war between multiple teams for the rights.

But to rephrase your question... if The King & I or My Fair Lady had been the first of the large-scale LCT/Sher revivals, would he have won Best Director? Very likely. South Pacific had the magical quality of being the very first time we saw him reinvent a classic on a grand scale, right on the heels of the well-respected Light in the Piazza.
