Without taking away from your enjoyment of Baby, It's You, I think it's pretty hard to make the case that African-American and Jewish women aren't celebrated on Broadway. Or are we supposed to forget about everyone from Fanny Brice to Idina Menzel, Ethel Waters to Audra McDonald?

I haven't seen either Baby, It's You or Million Dollar Quartet, but isn't it possible that MDQ is simply a slightly better-realized theatrical experience? Where BIY follows the cookie-cutter biography mold of shows like Jersey Boys, MDQ at least took a different approach, dramatizing one particular event in the lives of the musicians at its center.
