Nominees for the most important awards in American theater were announced Tuesday in New York City. Two musicals lead all the candidates with 12 nominations each. Both came from already popular media products. Mean Girls is a morality story set in a high school, from writer, actor and funny woman Tina Fey. It was a huge hit in movie theaters in 2004. In the last year, it has had similar success as a musical on Broadway. Mean Girls’ 12 Tony nominations include one for best musical. Fey was also nominated for a writing award as well. Her husband, Jonathan Richmond, wrote the music. He was nominated for best original score, along with lyrics writer Nell Benjamin.
