The winner for Best Musical in 1969 was 1776. A beloved musical by many but not exactly setting the barn on fire. Any Broadway musical that examines our Founding Fathers in such an earnest way is definitely a Mensch. If I may do a pivot - - Hamilton is a total Diva.
Another nominee was Hair - - a definite moment with that show, so full of transgressive Diva energy, and without a doubt one of the most influential original cast albums ever. Is it safe to say that the album was a bigger deal than the show...?
God bless Ed Sullivan!
Diva: Hair
Mensch: 1776
