AMOUR was nominated for Best Musical despite only playing 17 performances (and having been closed for 7 months by the time the nominations were announced).
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS only played 49 performances but was last year's second most-nominated show, after BOOK OF MORMON.
If a show has had less than 30 performances, it has probably received awful reviews by critics. It also has probably not got good "word of mouth" either from the paying public. It is hard to see a show being worthy (quality) if both things I mentioned have occurred. IMO - they nominated LOF this year because they wanted to fill the 4th slot. I would have given the voters credit if they nominated only three shows because that is what they thought deserved a nomination.
