Is Days of Wine and Roses the early favorite for Best Original Score at the Tonys? — Page 2

Adam Guettel himself was nominated for his score for To Kill a Mockingbird five years ago. The recent Angels in America revival was also nominated for Best Original Score. 2012 had two plays with music nominated for their songs: One Man, Two Guvnors and Peter and the Starcatcher (they lost to Newsies). 2010 also saw two plays nominated: Enron and Fences, the latter which would have been a deserved win for Branford Marsalis (they lost to Memphis). This is all to say that plays are indeed eligible for Best Original Score if they have original music and/or lyrics written for the production.
