“Fela!” — a dance-infused stage biography from choreographer Bill T. Jones — and a revival of the musical “La Cage aux Folles” led the Tony Award nominations announced Tuesday, receiving 11 each and handily beating out blockbuster productions such as “American Idiot” and “The Addams Family.” The 2010 nominations lacked a clear frontrunner like last year’s ” Billy Elliot,” which received 15 nominations. There also was a noticeable dearth of new musicals featuring original scores. But the roster was rich with screen stars who had chosen to leave the safety of movie and TV sets for the unforgiving lights of Broadway. – From LA Times
