This year's nominees include cast members from Soft Power, Jagged Little Pill, and more.
Owing to the substantial uptick in Covid-19 cases in the Los Angeles area, the Recording Academy and CBS have pushed the 2021 Grammy Awards from January 31 to March 14.
With that in mind, we thought it was time to explore, in depth, the 2021 nominees in the category of Best Musical Theater Album. Those eligible for the award include the vocalists featured on 51 percent or more playing time of the album, lyricists and composers of a new score that makes up 51 percent or more playing time of the album, and the producers of, you guessed it, 51 percent or more playing time of the album.
So here's the lineup for who's actually eligible to win, as per the Grammy's website right now:
Soft Power (Original Cast Recording)
Principal soloists: Francis Jue, Austin Ku, Alyse Alan Louis, and Conrad Ricamora
Writers: Jeanine Tesori (composer and lyricist) and David Henry Hwang (lyricist)
Producer: Matt Stine
