Tonys 2008: 'A Catered Affair' missed being nominated for best musical by one vote

Turns out that "A Catered Affair" was edged out of the Tony Awards top race by only one vote.

As Michael Riedel of the New York Post reports, the tuner - written by and starring four-time Tony winner Harvey Fierstein - "tied 'Cry-Baby' on the first ballot. To break the tie, the nominators voted again –- and 'Cry-Baby' slipped in." Riedel goes on to report that there were 10 other ties that day.
