Tony Awards will be decided between classical and modern

NEW YORK The quintessential classic musical An American in Paris, based on Vincent Minnelli film with Gene Kelly, and the adaptation of a cult comic with homosexual themes, Fun home, are favorites for the 2015 Tony Awards with 12 nominations each. Both compete in the same category, Best Musical, the 69th edition of the most important theater awards in the US, but they have one important Latino participation: the legendary Chita Rivera, Puerto Rican, Best Supporting Actress The musical by visit. Bruce Willis and Marie-Louise Parker were responsible for yesterday in New York to announce the nominations for these awards will have their ceremony on June 7 in New York also with two hosts, Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth. An American in Paris has made the leap from one of the great contemporary ballet choreographers, Christopher Wheeldon, the world of Broadway and the rally has not been able to do better. For its part, Fun Home is a contemporary musical angry in tone (between apathetic and biting), subject (dysfunctional family and gay protagonist) and design (based on a cult comic Alison Bechdel). The other two productions competing with them in the highest musical category are said The visit (5) and Something rotten, which has been overshadowed by the two big favorites but accumulated a total of 10 nominations for the Tony Awards.
