The Tony Award for Best Original Score is the Tony Award given to the composers and lyricists of the best original score written for a musical in that year. The score consists of music and lyrics. To be eligible, a score must be written specifically for the theatre and must be original; compilations of non-theatrical music or compilations of earlier theatrical music are not eligible for consideration. The award has undergone a number of minor changes. In 1947, 1950, 1951, and 1962, the award went to the composer only. Otherwise, the award has gone to the composer and lyricist for their combined contributions, except for 1971 when the two awards were split (although Stephen Sondheim won both, for ''Company)''. In only five years have non-musical plays been nominated for Tony Awards in this category: ''Much Ado About Nothing'' in 1973, ''The Song of Jacob Zulu'' in 1993,''Twelfth Night'' in 1999, ''Enron'' and ''Fences'' in 2010, and ''Peter and the Starcatcher'' and ''One Man, Two Guvnors'' in 2012. In 2013, Cyndi Lauper became the first woman to win the award solo for ''Kinky Boots''. In 2015, Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori became the first all-woman team to win the award for ''Fun Home''.〔('Fun Home' songwriters become 1st winning female team ) Yahoo News〕 Lin-Manuel Miranda is the youngest person to win the award; he was 28 when he won for ''In the Heights''. Adolph Green is the oldest person to win the award; he was 77 when he won for ''The Will Rogers Follies''. If T. S. Eliot were alive when he won for ''Cats'', he would have been 95. Eliot is one of two people to receive the award posthumously, the other being Jonathan Larson, who won for ''Rent''. He would have been 36. ==Awards and nominations== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tony Award for Best Original Score」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
