Well the Tony Awards Nominations have now been announced and the one show that has been given the most nods is In the Heights. The show is a musical about Latino families who live in the Washington area and has a rap, hip-hop and salsa flavor. The show has been given 13 nods all together, two of which are for creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda. I also think that In the Heights is worth these 13 nods, the show has a great story behind it, which is also matched by some of the best music I have heard in a while This season of shows is not about the new shows more like a revival of older shows coming back for another shot.
One of the biggest shows to be revived is Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific which is being shown at the Lincoln Center Theater, this popular show has received 11 nominations. Another popular show is Sunday in the Park with George, this show has received nine Tony nominations, and another great revival show is Gypsy which has got seven nominations. Other shows that are up in the best musical category are Cry-Baby, Xanadu as well as Passing Strange.
There is still a month to wait until we can see who wins in this category of the 62nd annual Tony awards ceremony. The awards will take place at the Radio City Hall on June 15. There are so many other categories in the Tony Awards for a full list head over to NY Times
