Who was the last person and show to win for best lyrics?

[RuprechtJr.]

Darn you jam_man. I was trying to trick someone. You're too smart for my "typical" audience. As for your question, I'm going to have to do some reasearch.

Let's see...if I'm correct:

WEST SIDE STORY
FORUM
COMPANY
FOLLIES
NIGHT MUSIC
CANDIDE
PACIFIC OVERTURES
SWEENEY TODD
INTO THE WOODS
PASSION
ASSASSINS

If I'm right, that makes 11.

EDIT: Make that 12. I left out SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE which won two design awards.
