At least both Ghost and Spider-Man have something visually appealing to them and/or have done something well in other places, despite have their flaws and things, but Leap of Faith is a disaster on so many levels that how can one really say it's more worthy of nomination than the previously mentioned two? I get the nomination committee wanted to avoid giving Spider-Man the gratification of being nominated for Best Musical, but Ghost could have easily been the fourth nominee if for no other reason than to give it some face time and help appeal it to the masses. When all is said and done, when Newsies or Once collects the award, Leap of Faith will once again come at a huge loss, so really - it's a ticking time bomb.
I just think those proud investors should suck it up and realize they put their money in a turkey of a show and cut their losses. What is keeping the show open going to prove? You can bleed money for weeks and weeks, get nominated for Best Musical only due to the lack of good material, and still close at a loss? Because, you know, that makes about as much sense as the show itself.
