I think STARCATCHER employed that kind of math, though I also recall them saying "the most nominated NEW play of the season" or something to that effect, which (if I recall) was correct.
I have no problem with PIPPIN's claim, actually, if the math backs them up. It's not an error, then. It's putting a good spin on the Awards Season.
Hell, CHICAGO proudly called itself "the longest-running revival of an American musical" for awhile, which is a little like calling CINDERELLA "the most-nominated new Rodgers + Hammerstein musical of the 21st century" or HANDS ON A HARDBODY "the most-nominated show this season set in Texas."
It's true. Whether it's worth touting is in the eyes of the beholder. I'll grant PIPPIN this claim, since it's certainly earned it.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
