SEE THE LIST: Nominations Announced For 73rd Annual Tony Awards

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- The nominations for the 73^rd annual Tony Awards were announced this morning on CBS2.

It was expected to be a tough match for best musical and tight race for best play.

"Tootsie," "The Prom" and "Hadestown" were the front runners for best musical.

"The Ferryman," "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "What the Constitution Means to Me" led the pack for best play.

"Hadestown," singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell's Broadway debut, earned a leading 14 Tony Award nominations Tuesday, followed by the jukebox musical "Ain't Too Proud," built around songs by the Temptations, which received a dozen nominations.

Des McAnuff, who directed "Ain't Too Proud," pointed to the timeliness of his musical, which charts the rise, sacrifices and challenges facing the 1950s group that sang "Baby Love" and "My Girl."

Theater veterans were surprised to see Aaron Sorkin's adaptation of "To Kill a Mockingbird"; "Hillary and Clinton," about Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign; and the stage adaptation of the media satire film "Network" not getting best play nods, though they did earn recognition in other categories.
