| First, I don't know how I typed that Philip Bosco won for The Rape of the Belt. I meant to write that he was nominated. Second, the point about Mielziner and Sleepy Hollow, which I should have made clear, was that it ran 12 performances. The really odd thing is that one of the five shows for which Mielziner won in 1949 was, as I mentioned, South Pacific (or at least that is what the Tonys official site says), and this was despite the fact that the show opened too late in the season to be eligible for the 1948-1949 Tonys. (The other shows for which Mielziner was cited, according to the Tonys site, were Summer and Smoke, Anne of the Thousand Days and Death of a Salesman.) All the news reports I am able to find from the time do not list the specific shows for which Mielziner won, but just say that he won for his work during the course of the season. I wonder what his Tony medallion said. (BroadwayTonyJ, can you perhaps answer this?) Similarly, the news reports from the time say that Lemuel Ayers won for his costume design work over the course of the season, but the Tonys site lists only Kiss Me, Kate. And that was, as far as I can tell, the only show for which he designed costumes that season. The previous season he was credited with the production design for Inside U.S.A., which opened too late for the 1947-1948 Tonys, but someone else was credited with the costume design for that show. In 1950, South Pacific won nine Tonys and Mielziner won for the second year in a row, but this time for one show: The Innocents. Very weird. |
