tony history question...

so i'm thinking about shows that won best book and best score but missed out on the big one, best musical... since i'm only 20 i only know of falsettos, ragtime and urinetown... i was wondering which shows before the 90's had the same fate and what they might have lost to... sorry for being young as i'm sure some people will be annoyed that i don't know this... andrew

thanks... changed it

yes, but it's so difficult to cross-reference and all that that it takes hella amounts of hours... just if anyone knows...

1978 - Ain't Misbehavin' and On the 20th Century
1981 - 42nd Street and Woman of the Year
1988 - Phantom and Into The Woods

Prior to 1971 sometimes Best Book and/or Score was presented to the Best Musical winner without there being a separate category. It was considered to be a part of the Best Musical award. La Mancha, Cabaret, Hallelujah, Baby!, 1776 and Applause (1966-70) come to mind.

In 1974 Raisin won Best Musical but Candide won Book and Gigi (16 years old at that point) won for Score.
