| I'm not sure why you said "actually", I didn't claim anyone won Featured who didn't, just who got nominated (I specifically mentioned 3 nominees, Gene Nelson, Ben Vereen, and Timothy Meyers). I also didn't say Forum only got a nom for Silvers, I said that about Inner City/Linda Hopkins, but I just mentioned that Silvers won Leading, and was focused mostly on how wild it is to me that there was so much love for Grease, to the extent that Danny Zuko (without even having "Greased Lightning" to sing in this original version) got a best Lead actor nom and John McMartin didn't, and that Gene Nelson and Ben Vereen were, in my assessment, incorrectly put into Featured. I know it may have been done by the show's producers, but I am willing to bet if they were put into Lead, Bostwick would have ended up being shut out for a Lead nomination (I mean, in that version he has Summer Nights as a sort of duet/group-lead, and in act 2 he has "Alone at the Drive In", that's it... and Kenickie has 1 song, quite a number, but next to Judas in JCS and Buddy in Follies? Please. Those are leads. Featured in JCS is Herod or Pilate or Caiaphas or Annas or Peter or Simon... SO many good/showy featured roles in JCS. And Featured Males in Follies are Young Ben and Young Buddy. If Sally and Phyllis are both lead, so are both Ben and Buddy!). I've never had a chance to see a production of Two Gentlemen. I was out of town for its brief revival at the Delacorte that summer, and I was out of town when it was just done in concert (and I was far from being born when it was on Broadway). But it's a very cool score and album. |
