May 16, 2007 NEW YORK -- "Spring Awakening" continued its unfettered run through the theater award season Tuesday by garnering 11 Tony nominations, the most of any Broadway production. The Steven Sater-Duncan Sheik musical, which combines pop-rock sensibilities with a story set in 19th century Germany, will be considered for best musical, score, book, director, choreography and orchestration as well as for leading actor (Jonathan Groff), featured actor (John Gallagher Jr.) and three design awards. The nominations for the 61st annual Tony Awards, presented by the League of American Theatres and Producers and the American Theatre Wing, were announced by Jane Krakowski and Taye Diggs at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
