OKLAHOMA! is on TV tonight. How do you win a Tony for a Rodgers and Hammerstein show? *You play Carrie in CAROUSEL. This worked for Mendez AND McDonald. *You take on the female lead in THE KING AND I. (Worked for Murphy AND O'Hara AND Gertrude Lawrence.) *You're Emile in SOUTH PACIFIC (Szot and Pinza). *You're Mary Martin in THE SOUND OF MUSIC (OR you're Mary Martin in SP). I know there are others. One thing I observe in the R&H track record: You can do well if you're the colorful supporting character (Mother Abbess, Ado Annie, Carrie) OR if you're the lead (Anna, Nellie, Maria, and so on). Enjoy tonight!
