First, The Bad News: No Tony Nod For Handel

The Tony Awards Administration Committee has ruled on the eligibility of 13 Broadway productions. Among the edicts is one concerning a straight play in a musical category: “The music for Coram Boy — penned by Adrian Sutton — will be eligible for nomination in the Best Original Score category. Only Sutton’s original music is eligible; the Handel selections heard in the production are ineligible.”
