The current list doesn't seem to correspond to the one at www.tonyawards.com (see search results) which lists Irving Berlin for 1951 and no winners for 1952-1961, and which doesn't include the lyricsts in the awards for 1947 and 1950. -Udzu 20:16, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
- That's bizarre. I'm quite confident I didn't pull this stuff out of midair, but I also checked some old New York Times articles listings of nominees and winners in the 1950's, and I didn't see any awards for Best Score or Best Book. I'll go ahead and start removing. Thanks for catching this. Kevin M Marshall 16:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- And one other minor tidbit: Cole Porter was both composer and lyricist for Kiss Me, Kate, so that's why only one name is listed. Since the award was not split as in 1971, it just means that the award was combined as it is today, with one prize going to whatever composer/lyricist or composer/lyricist team had written the best overall score.

Under most circumstances, it would probably be best to remove, or at least modify, the note about Richard Rodgers. Being only speculation, it's not very encyclopedic. But in the case of this article, it's a great tribute to the composer, and to the art form itself, to leave it on here. We all know Rodgers would have won many, many times, and we all know he would have deserved it! -The Realms of Gold (talk) 16:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
