“Hairspray” Dominates Tony Noms

As expected, the musical “Hairspray” dominated Tony Award nominations Monday, “named in 13 categories that included best musical, best original score and best costumes. ‘Movin’ Out,’ Twyla Tharp’s dance show set to the music of Billy Joel, received 10 nominations, including one for best musical, even though it has no words and only one singer. In the straight-play category a revival of Eugene O’Neill’s ‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night,’ which opened last week, received seven nominations, including one for Vanessa Redgrave, her first.”
