A contemporary musical infused with Latin rhythms edged out a musical-theater classic in the battle for nominations for the 62nd annual Tony Awards, the prize created to honor the best of Broadway.
In the Heights, a warm-hearted Latin/hip-hop musical set in a Spanish-speaking neighborhood of New York, collected 13 nominations, compared to 11 for a sumptuous revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific.
In a season marked by strong re-stagings of musical-theater favorites, a revival of Sunday in the Park With George won nine nominations, while a revival of Gypsy amassed seven.”*
