Damn, that was obscure.

The musical was "Around the World," and the original story was Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days.

It took a little bit of thinking, but then I remembered who was a playwright as well as an actor (and an INCREDIBLE Edna Turnblatt!)

Harvey Fierstein, for

Actor in a play, Torch Song Trilogy
Play, Torch Song Trilogy
Book of a Musical, La Cage Aux Folles, and most recently...
Actor in a musical, Hairspray!

(And he's leaving the show soon!) frown

You are correct...although, Tommy Tune also won in four different categories...all musical (best featured actor in a musical, best choreography, best direction of a musical and best actor in a musical).

Still a win, so you're up Kid.

Another win for macrab2!!! She talked about it in her one-woman show, Elaine Stritch at Liberty! (Incidentally, she also beat out Bea Arthur for that Tony that year, showing that turnabout is fair play! Your turn!

This musical lost the most Tony awards during its original run (it has since gone on to be an award winning revival and movie).
