The Tony Nominations Are In
1 May 2012 7:13 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The 2012 Tony Award nominations were announced this morning by Kristin Chenoweth and Jim Parsons, with the musicals leading the pack. "Once" -- adapted from the popular indie film -- came out on top with 11 nominations, The Gershwins' "Porgy and Bess" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It," both also musicals, trailed close behind with 10 a piece, and "Follies" and "Newsies" took a respectable eight each.
"Peter and the Starcatcher" picked up nine nominations, the most for a play, edging out this year's closest thing to a favorite, Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which gained seven. Philip Seymour Hoffman predictably earned a nod for his turn as Willy Loman in "Salesman," alongside fellow big names James Earl Jones ("The Best Man") and John Lithgow ("The Columnist"). Ricky Martin's divisive portrayal of Che in "Evita" got no love. "Evita," however, did snatch three nods, including one for best revival of a musical. »

The nominations for “Outstanding Orchestrations” are as follows:Bill Elliott, “Nice Work If You Can Get It”Larry Hochman, “Death Takes a Holiday”Martin Lowe, “Once”John McDaniel, “Bonnie & Clyde”Michael Starobin, “Queen of the Mist”Danny Troob, “Newsies The Musical”The initial decision to exclude the Orchestrations category this year met with a healthy amount of protest, Back Stage reported on Monday morning. The petition to reinstate the category racked up more than 3,000 signatures, while Drama Desk and Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown’s blog calling for this year’s nominated composers to boycott the award ceremony made the interweb rounds.Commenting on the reversal, Drama Desk President Isa Goldberg stated:“The Drama Desk prides »
