The fascinating cat-and-mouse game between a nun and priest, the triumphant return home of a Hollywood favorite and the comic caperings of a bunch of dazed knights were among the highlights of Broadway's 2004-05 season.
They are efforts likely to be rewarded tonight when the Tony Awards for Broadway's best are handed out at Radio City Music Hall (CBS, 8 to 11 p.m.).
But those shows are only part of the mosaic of a very entertaining season that had lots of peaks, as well as its share of valleys.
The good shows were notable for their distinctiveness and the theatrical savvy with which they were presented.
John Patrick Shanley's play "Doubt" was the drama event not only of this year but of recent seasons. A play centering on the troubled atmosphere at a Bronx Catholic school, where a nun suspects a popular priest of sexual abuse, it clicked on every level.
