It was adopted intently behind by “& Juliet,” “Shucked” and “New York, New York,” which every scored 9 nominations apiece. All of those productions will vie for finest musical honors, dealing with off in opposition to one of many 12 months’s most acclaimed exhibits, “Kimberly Akimbo,” the story of a young person who has a medical situation that causes her to age quickly. “Kimberly Akimbo” is up for eight prizes, together with for supporting performers Bonnie Milligan and Justin Cooley, in addition to for Victoria Clark’s flip within the title function.
