"The disruption comes to one of Broadway's most durable hits, a show that, 15 years ago, dominated the Tony Awards and quickly established itself as both a critical and commercial powerhouse."
"With no clear frontrunner, the Best Musical category is unusually open and notably thin by recent standards, reflecting a season with only six new musicals."
"The four nominees for Best Musical span a range of approaches, from spectacle to satire to smaller-scale storytelling, but none has yet achieved the combination of acclaim, cultural impact, and box office strength."
A fire at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre has forced the cancellation of performances of The Book of Mormon. This incident occurs during a notably weak Tony Awards season, with only six new musicals opening on Broadway. The nominations for the 79th Tony Awards revealed no clear frontrunner for Best Musical, with productions like The Lost Boys and Schmigadoon! leading the nominations. The Best Musical category is particularly thin, lacking a defining success among the nominees, which include The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titanique, and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).
