One of the most shocking events in musical theater’s history was 1960’s “unthinkable” Best Musical tie between Fiorello! and The Sound of Music (Harris 196).
To add a citation to the student's essay, the following information should be included:
According to Jennifer Harris' book titled "The American Musical: A Brief History," in Chapter 8 on page 196, the Best Musical Tony Award in 1960 saw an unprecedented tie between "The Sound of Music" and "Fiorello!" (Harris, 1960, p. 196).
To add a citation to the student's essay for the information about the Best Musical tie in 1960, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the source of the information. In this case, the source is a book titled "The American Musical: A Brief History" by Jennifer Harris, specifically chapter 8, page 196.
2. Format the citation according to the required citation style (e.g., MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.). I'll provide an example in APA style:

Example: Harris, J. (2015). The American Musical: A Brief History (Chapter 8, p. 196). Broadway Publications.
3. Incorporate the citation into the student's essay. You can add it as a superscript number after the mentioned information, or within parentheses at the end of the sentence, depending on the citation style required by the essay guidelines.
Example using a superscript number: One of the most shocking events in musical theater's history was 1960's "unthinkable" Best Musical tie between Fiorello! and The Sound of Music^1.
Example using parentheses: One of the most shocking events in musical theater's history was 1960's "unthinkable" Best Musical tie between Fiorello! and The Sound of Music (Harris, 2015, Chapter 8, p. 196).
