Tony Awards Winners: The Women

Women and Hollywood: "It was a sucky season for women creatives (meaning playwrights and musical creators) at the Tonys this year. Don’t only take my word for it. Here’s another piece by Princeton academic Jill Dolan on the lack of female Tony nominees.
Because there were no women nominated in the top categories of best play or best musical (except for Cheri Steinkellner who was nominated for best book of a musical for Sister Act) and there were no women written plays nominated for best revival or a play of musical, of course there were going to be few female winners. We all knew that going in.
