| From Playbill's breakdown of the Tony nominations: After orchestrating the musical's original Broadway run in 1982, Jonathan Tunick penned the orchestrations for a dramatic revision of the score for Off-Broadway's York Theatre in 1994—an astonishing 30 years ago. Sondheim made major changes to the score that had to be addressed, but Tunick also reduced the amount of players for the markedly smaller production, from 20 to 13. While this current revival is the musical's first successful Broadway outing, its book, score, and orchestration revisions all originate from that 1994 production—and now the 30 year-old orchestration is a 2024 Tony nominee. And for the record, there wasn't an orchestration category at the 1982 Tonys, so this is Tunick's first Tony nod for his work on the show. |
